Abstract
The set \(E^{*}\) of all linear forms on E becomes a vector space on \(\mathfrak {R}\) when we define the sum of two linear forms \(\varvec{\omega }\), \(\varvec{\sigma }\in E^{*}\) and the product of the scalar \(a\in \mathfrak {R}\) and the linear form \(\varvec{\omega }\) in the following way.
