Theorem 14.2.4.label Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a measure space, $K \in \RC$, $H$ be a Hilbert space over $K$, $p, q \in [1, \infty]$ be Hölder conjugates such that one of the following holds:

  1. (a)

    $p \in (1, \infty)$ and $q \in (1, \infty)$.

  2. (b)

    $p = 1$, $q = \infty$, and $\mu$ is $\sigma$-finite.

For each $g \in L^{q}(X, \cm, \mu; H)$, let

\[\phi_{g}: L^{p}(X, \cm, \mu; H) \to K \quad f \mapsto \int \dpn{f, g}{H}d\mu\]

then the mapping

\[L^{q}(X, \cm, \mu; H) \to L^{p}(X, \cm, \mu; H)^{*} \quad g \mapsto \phi_{g}\]

is a conjugate linear isometric isomorphism.

Proof, [Theorem 6.15, Fol99]. By Theorem 14.2.3, the given map is isometric. Thus it is sufficient to show that it is surjective. Let $\phi \in L^{p}(X; H)^{*}$.

(Finite): First suppose that $\mu$ is finite, then $\Sigma(X, \cm; H) \subset L^{p}(X; H)$, and $\phi$ induces an $H$-valued measure on $(X, \cm)$, absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu$. By the Radon-Nikodym Theorem, there exists $g \in L^{1}(X; H)$ such that for each $f \in \Sigma(X, \cm; H)$,

\[\int \dpn{f, g}{H}d\mu = \dpn{f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}\]

By Theorem 14.2.3, $g \in L^{q}(X; H)$.

(Arbitrary): In the case of (a), by Lemma 14.2.2, there exists a $\sigma$-finite set $A \in \cm$ such that for each $f \in L^{p}(X; H)$, $\dpn{f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}= \dpn{\one_A \cdot f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}$. In the case of (b), $A = X$ is a $\sigma$-finite set satisfying the same restriction condition.

Let $\seq{A_n}\subset \cm$ such that $\mu(A_{n}) < \infty$ for all $n \in \natp$, and $A = \bigsqcup_{n \in \natp}A_{n}$. By the finite case, there exists $\seq{g_n}\subset L^{q}(X; H)$ such that for each $n \in \natp$ and $f \in L^{p}(X; H)$,

\[\int \dpn{f, g_n}{H}d\mu = \dpn{\one_{A_n} \cdot f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}\]

Let $g = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} g_{n}$. If $q < \infty$, then $g \in L^{q}(X; H)$ by the Monotone Convergence Theorem. Otherwise,

\[\norm{g}_{L^\infty(X; H)}\le \sup_{n \in \natp}\norm{g_n}_{L^\infty(X; H)}\le \norm{\phi}_{L^1(X; H)^*}\]

For every $f \in L^{p}(X; H)$,

\begin{align*}\int \dpn{f, g}{H}d\mu&= \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \int \dpn{f, g_n}{H}d\mu = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \dpn{\one_{A_n} \cdot f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}\\&= \dpn{f, \phi}{L^p(X; H)}\end{align*}

by the Dominated Convergence Theorem.

Therefore the mapping is surjective, and hence an isomorphism.$\square$
