2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l \in T_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\) and each \(r \lt f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} (\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l)\), take a \(U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}}\) such that \(r \lt f (U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})\), and see that \((U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\) is an open neighborhood of \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l\) and \(r \lt f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} ((U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]})\).

Step 1:

Let \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l \in T_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\) be any.

Let \(r \in \mathbb{R}\) be any such that \(r \lt f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} (\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l)\).

\(f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} (\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l) = f (\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'})\).

As \(r \lt f (\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'})\) and \(f\) is lower semicontinuous, there is an open neighborhood of \(\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}\), \(U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}} \subseteq T\), such that \(r \lt f (U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})\).

\((U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\), the cross section of \(U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}}\) by \(\times_{j \in J} t_j\), is an open neighborhood of \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} t_l\) on \(T_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\), because \(\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'} \in U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}}\) and \((U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} \subseteq T_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\) is open, by the proposition that for any product topological space, any subspace, any open subset of the subspace, and any element of any subproduct, the cross section of the open subset by the element is open on the cross section of the subspace by the element.

Then, for each \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} u_l \in (U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\), taking for each \(j \in J\), \(u_j := t_j\), \(\times_{j' \in J'} u_l \in U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}}\), so, \(f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} (\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} u_l) = f (\times_{j' \in J'} u_l) \in f (U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})\), so, \(r \lt f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} (\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} u_l)\), so, \(r \lt f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]} ((U_{\times_{j' \in J'} t_{j'}})_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]})\).

So, \(f_{[\times_{j \in J} t_j]}\) is lower semicontinuous.
