   Format: MarkdownItexHi Toby. Could you check again the asserted local convexity in the cases $0 \lt p \lt 1$? Because the Hahn-Banach theorem implies that the dual of a locally convex TVS is non-zero, whereas it is known that $L^p$ for this range of $p$ typically has zero dual. See also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp_space#Lp_for_0_.3C_p_.3C_1">this section</a> from Wikipedia.

   Format: MarkdownItexI added a section on Minkowski's inequality for the case $1 \leq p \leq \infty$, with a proof of my own devising. I don't think it's actually original with me, but I've not seen it in the books I've looked at. The textbook proofs I have seen involve H&ouml;lder's inequality, but without the courtesy of saying what is going on in that proof *conceptually*. I have a page on these issues on my lab, <a href="http://ncatlab.org/toddtrimble/published/p-norms">here</a>.

   Format: MarkdownItexCool! By the way, when putting norms and absolute values in itex, it looks a lot better if you put each one inside braces. Compare: * `|x| = |y|` produces ‘$|x| = |y|$’; * `{|x|} = {|y|}` produces ‘${|x|} = {|y|}$’.

   Cool!

    Format: MarkdownItexToby #9 is right. There is some terrible terminological confusion here. I grew up with the meaning of Fr&eacute;chet space as including local convexity (which rules out $L^{1/2}$), but apparently some people use it to mean what is called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-space">F-space</a>. A Fr&eacute;chet space in my meaning is a TVS whose topology is given by a countable family of seminorms under which the TVS becomes a complete metric space (including the axiom that $d(x, y) = 0$ implies $x = y$). If you have a Fr&eacute;chet space given by a single seminorm, then that is a norm and you get a Banach space.

    Notation

    For historical reasons (starting with the original paper by Riesz), the exponent $p$ is traditionally taken to be the reciprocal of the “correct” exponent.

    If we take $M^p=L^{1/p}$, the spaces $M^p$ form a $\mathbf{C}$-graded algebra, where $\mathbf{C}$ denotes complex numbers.

    This is a conceptual explanation for the appearance of formulas like $1/p+1/q=1/r$ in Hölder’s inequality.

    In differential geometry, the notion of density does use the “correct” grading.

    In the Tomita–Takesaki theory, the parameter $t$ for modular automorphism group is almost the “correct” grading, except that it is multiplied by the imaginary unit $i$.
