My question is an extension to the post How is the acting of $H^{-1}$ on $H^1_0$ defined?. Here duality pairings were discussed and even given explicit examples.
Let $U$ and $V$ be Hilbert spaces such that $U\subset V$, with inner products $(\cdot , \cdot)_{U}$, $(\cdot , \cdot)_{V}$. Can we give explicit examples to understand the difference between dual pairings $\langle\cdot , \cdot\rangle_{U}$, $\langle\cdot , \cdot\rangle_{V}$ and inner products? and when is it true that for $u\in U$ and $v\in V$
$$ \langle u,v\rangle_U = (u,v)_U $$
Thanks in advance.
