Weak* topology is a topology defined on the dual space of a normed vector space, where the convergence of a sequence is determined by its action on a subset of the original space. This topology is crucial in functional analysis and relates closely to the Riesz representation theorem, which provides a link between linear functionals and measures, showcasing how weak* convergence leads to continuity in dual spaces.
