1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(V\): \(\in \{\text{ the } d \text{ -dimensional complex vectors spaces }\}\)
\(B\): \(= \{b_1, ..., b_d\} \subseteq V\), \(\in \{\text{ the bases for } V\}\)
\(B'\): \(= \{b'_1, ..., b'_d\} \subseteq V\), \(\in \{\text{ the bases for } V\}\)
\(\mathbb{C}^d\): \(= \text{ the complex Euclidean topological space }\)
\(f\): \(: V \to \mathbb{C}^d\), \(v = v^j b_j \mapsto (v^1, ..., v^d)\)
\(f'\): \(: V \to \mathbb{C}^d\), \(v = v'^j b'_j \mapsto (v'^1, ..., v'^d)\)
\(O\): \(= \{U \subseteq V \vert f (U) \in \text{ the topology of } \mathbb{C}^d\}\)
\(O'\): \(= \{U \subseteq V \vert f' (U) \in \text{ the topology of } \mathbb{C}^d\}\)
//

Statements:
\(O = O'\)

2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(f' = \phi \circ f\), where \(\phi: \mathbb{C}^d \to \mathbb{C}^d\) is the coordinates transition map, and see that \(\phi\) is a homeomorphism; Step 2: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

\(f\) is a bijection.

\(f'\) is a bijection.

\(f' = \phi \circ f\), where \(\phi: \mathbb{C}^d \to \mathbb{C}^d\) is the bijective coordinates transition map, where there is a constant invertible matrix, \(M\), such that \(\phi: (c^1, ..., c^d)^t \mapsto (M^1_j c^j, ..., M^d_j c^j)^t\), by the proposition that for any finite-dimensional vectors space, the transition of the components of any vector with respect to any change of bases is this.

Let \(g: \mathbb{R}^{2 d} \to \mathbb{C}^d, (x^1, ..., x^{2 d}) \mapsto (x^1 + x^2 i, ..., x^{2 (d - 1) + 1} + x^{2 d} i)\) be the homeomorphism cited in the definition of complex Euclidean topological space.

Let us see that \(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g: \mathbb{R}^{2 d} \to \mathbb{R}^{2 d}\) is a homeomorphism.

\(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g: (x^1, ..., x^{2 d}) \mapsto (x^1 + x^2 i, ..., x^{2 (d - 1) + 1} + x^{2 d} i) \mapsto (M^1_j (x^{2 (j - 1) + 1} + x^{2 (j - 1) + 2} i), ..., M^d_j (x^{2 (j - 1) + 1} + x^{2 (j - 1) + 2} i)) \mapsto (M^1_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 1}, M^1_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 2}, ..., M^d_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 1}, M^d_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 2})\).

Let \(\mathbb{R}^{2 d}\) have the Euclidean atlas being the Euclidean \(C^\infty\) manifold.

The formula for \(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g\) means that \(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g\) is continuous in the norm sense for the coordinates function.

So, by the proposition that for any map between \(C^\infty\) manifolds, its continuousness in the topological sense equals its continuousness in the norm sense for the coordinates functions, \(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g\) is continuous in the topological sense.

The inverse of \(g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g\) is \(g^{-1} \circ \phi^{-1} \circ g: \mathbb{R}^{2 d} \to \mathbb{R}^{2 d}, (x^1, ..., x^{2 d}) \mapsto ({M^{-1}}^1_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 1}, {M^{-1}}^1_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 2}, ..., {M^{-1}}^d_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 1}, {M^{-1}}^d_j x^{2 (j - 1) + 2})\), likewise.

So, \(g^{-1} \circ \phi^{-1} \circ g\) is continuous, likewise.

So, \(\phi = g \circ g^{-1} \circ \phi \circ g \circ g^{-1}\) is a homeomorphism.

Step 2:

So, for each \(U \in O\), \(f' (U) = \phi \circ f (U) \subseteq \mathbb{C}^d\) is open, because \(f (U) \subseteq \mathbb{C}^d\) is open and \(\phi\) is a homeomorphism.

That means \(U \in O'\).

By symmetry, for each \(U' \in O'\), \(U' \in O\).

So, \(O = O'\).
