Lemma 38.8.5.label Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ and $(Y, \cn, \nu)$ be localisable measure spaces, and $T: L^{\infty}(X; \complex)\to L^{\infty}(Y; \complex)$ such that:

  1. (a)

    $T$ is an isometric isomorphism.

  2. (b)

    For each $f, g \in L^{\infty}(X; \complex)$, $f \ge g$ if and only if $Tf \ge Tg$.

then:

  1. (1)

    $T^{*}(L^{1}(Y; \complex)) \subset L^{1}(X; \complex)$.

  2. (2)

    $T$ is weak*-continuous.

Proof. Let $\phi \in L^{1}(Y; \complex)$ with $\phi \ge 0$, then $T^{*}\phi \in L^{\infty}(X; \complex)^{*}$. For each $\seq{B_n}\subset \cm$ and $B \in \cm$ with $B_{n} \upto B$, $\one_{B} = \sup_{n \in \natp}\one_{B_n}$ as an element of $L^{\infty}(X; \complex)$. Thus (b) and Theorem 38.8.3 imply that

\begin{align*}\sup_{n \in \natp}\dpn{\one_{B_n}, T^*\phi}{L^\infty(X; \complex)}&= \sup_{n \in \natp}\dpn{\phi, T\one_{B_n}}{L^1(Y; \complex)}= \dpn{\phi, T\one_B}{L^1(Y; \complex)}\\&= \dpn{\one_B, T^*\phi}{L^\infty(X; \complex)}\end{align*}

Hence the mapping $B \mapsto \dpn{\one_B, T^*\phi}{L^\infty(X; \complex)}$ is a finite positive measure on $(X, \cm)$, which is absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu$. By the Radon-Nikodym Theorem, there exists $f \in L^{1}(X; \complex)$ with $f \ge 0$ such that $\int_{B} f d\mu = \dpn{\one_{B}, T^*\phi}{L^\infty(X; \complex)}$ for all $B \in \cm$.

Let $g \in L^{\infty}(X; [0, 1])$. By Lemma 26.6.4, there exists simple functions $\seq{g_n}\subset \Sigma(X; [0, 1])$ such that $g_{n} \upto g$ pointwise. In which case, $g = \sup_{n \in \natp}g_{n}$ as an element of $L^{\infty}(X; \real)$, so (b) and Theorem 38.8.3 imply that,

\begin{align*}\dpn{\phi, Tg}{L^1(Y; \complex)}&= \sup_{n \in \natp}\dpn{\phi, Tg_n}{L^1(Y; \complex)}= \sup_{n \in \natp}\dpn{f, g_n}{L^1(X; \complex)}\\&= \dpn{f, g}{L^1(X; \complex)}\end{align*}

By linearity, $\dpn{\phi, Tg}{L^1(Y; \complex)}= \dpn{f, g}{L^1(X; \complex)}$ for all $g \in L^{\infty}(X; \complex)$. Therefore $T^{*}(L^{1}(Y; \complex)) \subset L^{1}(X; \complex)$, and $T$ is weak*-continuous.$\square$
