Extract

F. Riesz's ‘Representation Theorem’ has been proved by methods classical [11, 12], category-theoretic [7], and functional-analytic [2, 9]. (Garling's remarkable proofs [5, 6] owe their brevity to the combined strength of these and other methods.) These proofs often reveal a connection between the Riesz theorem and some unexpected area of mathematics.
