Pontryagin Duality for Modules over Compact Discrete Valuation Rings
Abstract
We establish an analogue of Pontryagin duality for modules over compact discrete valuation rings . Namely, we define the dual of a topological module to be its continuous -module homomorphisms into , the quotient module of the fraction field by its ring of integers. It is established that for locally compact -modules the double dual map is an isomorphism and homeomorphism. Additionally, given a non-topological -module a canonical topology is constructed, uniquely defined so that the double dual map will be injective and continuous. Finally, the functor assigning a module to itself equipped with canonical topology is shown to be fully faithful, allowing one to recontextualize the topological statements in purely algebraic forms.
