Sazonov Topology #
The Sazonov topology on a real Hilbert space H is the locally convex topology generated by seminorms x ↦ √⟪x, Sx⟫ where S ranges over positive trace-class operators on H.
A function φ : H → ℂ is continuous in the Sazonov topology iff for every ε > 0 there exists a positive trace-class operator S such that |φ(x) - φ(y)| < ε whenever √⟪x-y, S(x-y)⟫ < 1.

Positive Trace-Class Operators #
A positive operator S is trace-class if ∑ᵢ ⟪eᵢ, S eᵢ⟫ converges for some Hilbert basis {eᵢ}. For positive operators, this is basis-independent.
Equations
- IsPositiveTraceClass S = (S.IsPositive ∧ ∃ (ι : Type) (b : HilbertBasis ι ℝ H), Summable fun (i : ι) => inner ℝ (b i) (S (b i)))

Quadratic Form and Seminorm #
Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for the semi-inner product ⟪·, S·⟫: ⟪x, Sy⟫² ≤ ⟪x, Sx⟫ · ⟪y, Sy⟫ when S is positive.
Proof: the quadratic t ↦ ⟪x + ty, S(x + ty)⟫ is nonneg for all t, so its discriminant is nonpositive.
Triangle inequality for the Sazonov seminorm: √⟪x+y, S(x+y)⟫ ≤ √⟪x, Sx⟫ + √⟪y, Sy⟫.
