Main Body
1: Description
For any manifolds, and , and any map, , is continuous in the topological sense if and only if is continuous in the norm sense for the coordinates functions.
2: Proof
Suppose that is continuous in the norm sense for the coordinates functions. For any open set, , around any point, , there is a chart, where . may consist of multiple points, but around any point, , there is a chart, , and by the continuousness in the norm sense, for any open ball, , there is an open ball, , such that . But , open on , is included in , because . As , there is an open set, , at any point, , so, by the local criterion for openness, is open. So, as the preimage of any open set is open, is continuous in the topological sense.
Suppose that is continuous in the topological sense. For any point, where , there is a chart, . There is an open ball, , and by the continuousness in the topological sense, is open including , so, there is a chart, where , and an open ball, , which satisfies , because is included in and is included in , which means that is included in , which means that is included in .
3: Note
While prevalently the continuousness of a map in topological sense is claimed by the continuousness of coordinates functions in norm sense, the argument is valid only because of this proposition or a like.
