\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:duality-dense}
Let $K \in \RC$ and $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K$, then for any subspace $F_0 \subset F$, the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\dpn{E, F_0}{\lambda}$ is a duality.
\item For any $y_0 \in F$, $\seqf{x_j} \subset E$, and $\eps > 0$, there exists $y \in F_0$ such that for each $1 \le j \le n$, $\dpn{x_j, y}{\lambda} = \dpn{x_j, y_0}{\lambda}$.
\item $F_0$ is $\sigma(F, E)$-dense in $F$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $E_0 = \text{span}\bracs{x_j|1 \le j \le n}$, and
\[
\phi: E_0 \to K \quad x \mapsto \dpn{x, y_0}{\lambda}
\]
Since $\dpn{E, F_0}{\lambda}$ is a duality, there exists $\seqf{y_j} \subset F_0$ such that for all $x \in E_0$,
\[
|\dpn{x, \phi}{E_0}| \le \sum_{j = 1}^n |\dpn{x, y_j}{\lambda}|
\]
Hence $\phi \in L(E_0, \sigma(E_0, F_0); K)$. By the \hyperref[Hahn-Banach Theorem]{theorem:hahn-banach}, there exists $\Phi \in L(E, \sigma(E, F_0); K)$ such that $\Phi|_{E_0} = \phi$. By \autoref{lemma:duality-dual}, there exists $y \in F_0$ such that $\dpn{x_j, y}{\lambda} = \dpn{x_j, y_0}{\lambda}$ for all $1 \le j \le n$.
(3) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Let $x \in E$ such that $\dpn{x, y}{\lambda} = 0$ for all $y \in F_0$, then since $F_0$ is $\sigma(F, E)$-dense in $F$, $\dpn{x, y}{\lambda} = 0$ for all $y \in F$. Hence $x = 0$.
\end{proof}

\begin{definition}[Real Polar]
\label{definition:real-polar}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$ and $A \subset E$, then
\[
A^\circ = \bracsn{y \in F| \text{Re}\dpn{x, y}{\lambda} \le 1 \forall x \in A}
\]
is the \textbf{real polar} of $A$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Absolute Polar]
\label{definition:absolute-polar}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$ and $A \subset E$, then
\[
A^\square = \bracsn{y \in F|\ |\dpn{x, y}{\lambda}| \le 1 \forall x \in A}
\]
is the \textbf{absolute polar} of $A$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:polar-properties}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\emptyset^\circ = \emptyset^\square = F$ and $F^\circ = F^\square = \bracs{0}$.
\item For any $A, B \subset E$ and $\lambda \ne 0$, if $\lambda A \subset B$, then $B^\circ \subset \lambda^{-1}A^\circ$.
\end{enumerate}
