Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(\mathbb{C}\): \(= \text{ the complex Euclidean topological space }\)
\(f\): \(: T \to \mathbb{C}\), \(\in \{\text{ the continuous maps }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(\vert f \vert: T \to \mathbb{R}, t \mapsto \vert f (t) \vert \in \{\text{ the continuous maps }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take \(g_1: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}, a + b i \mapsto (a, b)\), \(g_2: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, (a, b) \mapsto a^2 + b^2\), and \(g_3: [0, \infty) \subseteq \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, r \mapsto \sqrt{r}\), and see that they are continuous; Step 2: see that \(\vert f \vert = g_3 \circ g_2 \circ g_1 \circ f\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

Let us take \(g_1: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}, a + b i \mapsto (a, b)\).

Let us take \(g_2: \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, (a, b) \mapsto a^2 + b^2\).

Let us take \(g_3: [0, \infty) \subseteq \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, r \mapsto \sqrt{r}\).

\(g_1\) is continuous, by the definition of complex Euclidean topological space.

\(g_2\) is continuous, as a well-known fact.

\(g_3\) is continuous, as a well-known fact.

Step 2:

Let us see that \(\vert f \vert = g_3 \circ g_2 \circ g_1 \circ f\).

For each \(t \in T\), \(g_3 \circ g_2 \circ g_1 \circ f: t \mapsto f (t) = a + b i \mapsto (a, b) \mapsto a^2 + b^2 \mapsto \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \vert f (t) \vert\).

Step 3:

\(\vert f \vert\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.
