Main Body


1: Description


For any Euclidean topological spaces, \(\mathbb{R}^{d1}, \mathbb{R}^{d2}\), any linear map, \(f: \mathbb{R}^{d1} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{d2}\) is continuous.


2: Proof


There are the canonical Euclidean manifolds, \(\mathbb{R}^{d1} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d1}, \mathbb{R}^{d2} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d2}\), which are \(C^\infty\) manifolds, whose subspaces the Euclidean topological spaces are. There are the canonical charts, \(\lt\mathbb{R}^{di}, \phi'_i\gt\) such that \(\phi'_i: \mathbb{R}^{di} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{di}\) is the identity map.

There is the map, \(f': \mathbb{R}^{d1} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{d2}\), between the Euclidean manifolds such that \(f' = f\). The coordinates functions, \(\phi'_2 \circ f' \circ {\phi'_1}^{-1}\), are practically the same with \(f\) and are obviously continuous as \(f\) is linear.

By the proposition that any topological spaces map is continuous at any point if there are super \(C^\infty\) manifolds of the topological spaces and a map between them which (the map) restricts to the original map on a chart open set of the domain manifold around the point whose (the manifolds map's) coordinates functions are continuous, \(f\) is continuous at any point \(p \in \mathbb{R}^{d1}\).
