Abstract

It is proved that for any free A\mathcal{A}-modules F\mathcal{F} and E\mathcal{E} of finite rank on some C\mathbb{C}-algebraized space (X,A)(X, \mathcal{A}) a \textit{degenerate} bilinear A\mathcal{A}-morphism Φ:F×EA\Phi: \mathcal{F}\times \mathcal{E}\longrightarrow \mathcal{A} induces a \textit{non-degenerate} bilinear A\mathcal{A}-morphism Φˉ:F/E×E/FA\bar{\Phi}: \mathcal{F}/\mathcal{E}^\perp\times \mathcal{E}/\mathcal{F}^\perp\longrightarrow \mathcal{A}, where E\mathcal{E}^\perp and F\mathcal{F}^\perp are the \textit{orthogonal} sub-A\mathcal{A}-modules associated with E\mathcal{E} and F\mathcal{F}, respectively. This result generalizes the finite case of the classical result, which states that given two vector spaces WW and VV, paired into a field kk, the induced vector spaces W/VW/V^\perp and V/WV/W^\perp have the same dimension. Some related results are discussed as well.
