1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(F\): \(\in \{ \mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C} \}\), with the canonical field structure
\(\{V_1, ..., V_n\}\): \(\subseteq \{\text{ the } F \text{ vectors spaces }\}\), with any inner products, \(\{\langle \bullet, \bullet \rangle_1, ..., \langle \bullet, \bullet \rangle_n\}\)
\(V_1 \times ... \times V_n\): \(= \text{ the product vectors space }\) with the product inner product, \(\langle \bullet, \bullet \rangle\)
\(O\): \(= \text{ the topology for } V_1 \times ... \times V_n \text{ induced by } \langle \bullet, \bullet \rangle\)
\(O'\): \(= \text{ the topology for } V_1 \times ... \times V_n \text{ as the product topology of the topologies induced by } \langle \bullet, \bullet \rangle_j \text{ s }\)
//

Statements:
\(O = O'\)

2: Proof


Whole Strategy: apply the local criterion for openness; Step 1: take any \(U \in O\) and for each \(u \in U\), see that there is an open neighborhood of \(u\) in \(O'\) contained in \(U\); Step 2: take any \(U \in O'\) and for each \(u \in U\), see that there is an open neighborhood of \(u\) in \(O\) contained in \(U\).

Step 1:

Let \(U \in O\) be any.

Let \(u = (u^1, ..., u^n) \in U\) be any.

There is an open ball around \(u\) in \(O\), \(B_{u, \epsilon} \in O\), such that \(B_{u, \epsilon} \subseteq U\).

Let us take \(\delta := \epsilon / \sqrt{n}\).

Let us take the product of the open balls around \(u\) in \(O'\), \(B_{u^1, \delta} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \delta} \in O'\).

Let us see that \(B_{u^1, \delta} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \delta} \subseteq B_{u, \epsilon}\).

Let \(b = (b^1, ..., b^n) \in B_{u^1, \delta} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \delta}\) be any.

\(\langle b^j - u^j, b^j - u^j \rangle_j \lt \delta^2\).

\(\langle b - u, b - u \rangle = \langle (b^1, ..., b^n) - (u^1, ..., u^n), (b^1, ..., b^n) - (u^1, ..., u^n) \rangle = \langle (b^1 - u^1, ..., b^n - u^n), (b^1 - u^1, ..., b^n - u^n) \rangle = \langle b^1 - u^1, b^1 - u^1 \rangle_1 + ... + \langle b^n - u^n, b^n - u^n \rangle_n \lt \delta^2 + ... + \delta^2 = n \delta^2 = \epsilon^2\).

That means that \(b \in B_{u, \epsilon}\).

So, \(B_{u^1, \delta} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \delta} \subseteq B_{u, \epsilon} \subseteq U\).

By the local criterion for openness, \(U \in O'\).

Step 2:

Let \(U \in O'\) be any.

Let \(u = (u^1, ..., u^n) \in U\) be any.

There is the product of some open balls around \(u\) in \(O'\), \(B_{u^1, \epsilon} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \epsilon} \in O'\), such that \(B_{u^1, \epsilon} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \epsilon} \subseteq U\).

Let us take \(\delta := \epsilon\).

Let us take the open ball around \(u\) in \(O\), \(B_{u, \delta} \in O\).

Let us see that \(B_{u, \delta} \subseteq B_{u^1, \epsilon} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \epsilon}\).

Let \(b \in B_{u, \delta}\) be any.

\(\langle b - u, b - u \rangle = \langle (b^1, ..., b^n) - (u^1, ..., u^n), (b^1, ..., b^n) - (u^1, ..., u^n) \rangle = \langle (b^1 - u^1, ..., b^n - u^n), (b^1 - u^1, ..., b^n - u^n) \rangle = \langle b^1 - u^1, b^1 - u^1 \rangle_1 + ... + \langle b^n - u^n, b^n - u^n \rangle_n \lt \delta^2\).

That means that \(\langle b^j - u^j, b^j - u^j \rangle_j \lt \delta^2 = \epsilon^2\).

That means that \(b^j \in B_{u^j, \epsilon}\), so, \(b \in B_{u^1, \epsilon} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \epsilon}\).

So, \(B_{u, \delta} \subseteq B_{u^1, \epsilon} \times ... \times B_{u^n, \epsilon} \subseteq U\).

So, by the local criterion for openness, \(U \in O\).
