Oct 18, 2011 at 20:42 comment added Orbicular @Bill: I know, but that was not the question. The question was whether one can always identify the annihilator of $Y$ with $X/Y$. I assume this is false, since one can simply take some Banach space $Z$ which is not isomorphic to its dual and consider $Y=0$ and $X=Z.$ Am I correct?
Oct 18, 2011 at 20:06 comment added Bill Johnson Your question has nothing to do with semi-Fredholm operators. If $Y$ is a closed subspace of Banach space $X$, then the annihilator of $Y$ in $X^{*}$ is canonically isometrically isomorphic to the dual of $X/Y$. Look in any basic text in functional analysis--this will either be in the text or in the problems.
