Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\((T_1, \sigma (O_1))\): \(\in \{\text{ the measurable spaces }\}\), with \(T_1\) any topological space with any topology, \(O_1\)
\((T_2, \sigma (O_2))\): \(\in \{\text{ the measurable spaces }\}\), with \(T_2\) any topological space with any topology, \(O_2\)
\(f\): \(: T_1 \to T_2\), \(\in \{\text{ the continuous maps }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(f \in \{\text{ the measurable maps }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: apply the proposition that for any map between any measurable spaces, if the codomain \(\sigma\)-algebra is generated by any set of subsets and the preimage of each element of the set of subsets is measurable, the map is measurable.

Step 1:

For each \(U \in O_2\), \(f^{-1} (U) \in O_1 \subseteq \sigma (O_1)\).

\(f\) is measurable, by the proposition that for any map between any measurable spaces, if the codomain \(\sigma\)-algebra is generated by any set of subsets and the preimage of each element of the set of subsets is measurable, the map is measurable.
