Metric duality for Abelian groups

Abstract

The main aim of the paper is to introduce the concept of metric duality in the category of topological Abelian groups that extends the classical notion of duality for normed vector spaces and behaves quite nicely for LCA groups (equipped with nice metrics). In particular, it is shown that each Polish LCA group admits a reflexive proper metric and, more generally, all LCA groups possess reflexive (proper) metric structures.
