Is a metrizable and compact subset of $E^*$ is a metrizable complete subset ? for the weak* topology

54 Views Asked by At

If we have a Banach space $E$. and we consider it's dual $E^*$, it is a Banach space. so we consider the weak* topology ($\sigma(E^*,E)$) on $E^*$.

So My question is : If we have a set $B\subset E^*$, that is compact and Metrizable (weak* topology).

Why is $B$ is Metrizable complete ?

All compact metric spaces are sequentially compact. Thus, if you have a Cauchy sequence in a compact metric space, then this has a convergent subsequence. By the properties of a Cauchy sequence you can prove that the limit of this subsequence must also be the limit of the sequence. Therefore every compact metric space is complete.

Note that any compact metric space is complete and totally bounded (and vice versa). So if $B$ is a compact metrizable space, it must be completely metrizable.
