Banach–Alaoglu theorem can be proved using Tychonoff's theorem.
It says that closed unit ball is compact in weak* topology. This is often quite useful.
 
I thought that was the usual proof
it was the proof my prof gave me anyway
 
For example, to prove existence of some objects. (We want to get an object with some property and we are able to get some approximations. Compactness allows us to prove, that together with the approximations the closed unit ball contains also the limiting object.)
In functional analysis and related branches of mathematics, the Banach–Alaoglu theorem (also known as Alaoglu's theorem) states that the closed unit ball of the dual space of a normed vector space is compact in the weak* topology. A common proof identifies the unit ball with the weak* topology as a closed subset of a product of compact sets with the product topology. As a consequence of Tychonoff's theorem, this product, and hence the unit ball within, is compact. A proof of this theorem for separable normed vector spaces was published in 1932 by Stefan Banach, and the first proof for the general...
 
Can I get a third eye on my proof of one of the edge cases of Riesz-Thorin interpolation? Its been accepted as an answer but I found a minor error (now fixed) and now I'm unsure(read: paranoid). It seems to be past the edge of common MSE knowledge so doesn't get much attention, but I don't think it would make a reasonable question on MO
 
yeah, was going to post it after i figured out how to make it big like your link haha

That's not something I am familiar with, but maybe if we leave a link here, it slightly increases a chance that somebody notices it.

A: Special case of Riesz-Thorin Interpolation Theorem $L^{p_0} \cap L^{p_1} \to L^1$

Calvin KhorI believe its like this...let me first recall bits of that proof. The inequality $\|Tf\|_{q_\theta} \le M_0^{1-\theta} M_1^\theta \|f\|_{p_\theta}$ is equivalent to $$ \sup_{\substack{\|f\|_{p_\theta}=1\\ \|g\|_{q_\theta'}=1} } \int_Y (T f)g \le M_0^{1-\theta} M_1^\theta $$ Where the sup...

 
thanks!
 
@CalvinKhor I did not want to digress in this room from the mathematics to discussing chat usage - so I left a brief comment about this in another room.
 
thank you for that as well :)
