Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any topological space, any subspace, and any point on the subspace, the intersection of any neighborhoods basis at the point on the base space and the subspace is a neighborhoods basis at the point on the subspace.

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T'\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological subspaces of } T'\}\)
\(t\): \(\in T\)
\(B'_t\): \(\in \{\text{ the neighborhoods bases at } t \text{ on } T'\}\), \(= \{N'_{t, j} \vert j \in J\}\), where \(J\) is an index set
\(B_t\): \(= \{N'_{t, j} \cap T \vert j \in J\}\)
//

Statements:
\(B_t \in \{\text{ the neighborhoods bases at } t \text{ on } T\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that each \(N'_{t, j} \cap T\) is a neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T\); Step 2: see that for each neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T\), \(N_t\), there is an \(N'_{t, j} \cap T\) such that \(N'_{t, j} \cap T \subseteq N_t\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

Each \(N'_{t, j} \cap T \in B_t\) is a neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T\), by the proposition that for any topological space and any point on any subspace, the intersection of any neighborhood of the point on the base space and the subspace is a neighborhood on the subspace.

Step 2:

Let \(N_t \subseteq T\) be any neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T\).

There is an open neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T\), \(U_t \subseteq T\), such that \(U_t \subseteq N_t\).

\(U_t = U'_t \cap T\), where \(U'_t \subseteq T'\) is an open neighborhood of \(t\) on \(T'\), by the definition of subspace topology.

There is an \(N'_{t, j} \in B'_t\) such that \(N'_{t, j} \subseteq U'_t\), by the definition of neighborhoods basis at point.

\(N'_{t, j} \cap T \subseteq U'_t \cap T = U_t \subseteq N_t\).

Step 3:

So, \(B_t\) is a neighborhoods basis at \(t\) on \(T\).
