Basic theory of topological spaces. #

The main definition is the type class topological space α which endows a type α with a topology. Then set α gets predicates is_open, is_closed and functions interior, closure and frontier. Each point x of α gets a neighborhood filter 𝓝 x. A filter F on α has x as a cluster point if cluster_pt x F : 𝓝 x ⊓ F ≠ ⊥. A map f : ι → α clusters at x along F : filter ι if map_cluster_pt x F f : cluster_pt x (map f F). In particular the notion of cluster point of a sequence u is map_cluster_pt x at_top u.

For topological spaces α and β, a function f : α → β and a point a : α, continuous_at f a means f is continuous at a, and global continuity is continuous f. There is also a version of continuity pcontinuous for partially defined functions.

Notation #

Implementation notes #

Topology in mathlib heavily uses filters (even more than in Bourbaki). See explanations in https://leanprover-community.github.io/theories/topology.html.

def nhds {α : Type u} [topological_space α] (a : α) :

A set is called a neighborhood of a if it contains an open set around a. The set of all neighborhoods of a forms a filter, the neighborhood filter at a, is here defined as the infimum over the principal filters of all open sets containing a.

If a filter f is majorated by some 𝓝 a, then it is majorated by 𝓝 (Lim f).

def library_note.continuity lemma statement  :
unit

The library contains many lemmas stating that functions/operations are continuous. There are many ways to formulate the continuity of operations. Some are more convenient than others. Note: for the most part this note also applies to other properties (measurable, differentiable, continuous_on, ...).

The traditional way #

As an example, let's look at addition (+) : M → M → M. We can state that this is continuous in different definitionally equal ways (omitting some typing information)

However, lemmas with this conclusion are not nice to use in practice because

  1. They confuse the elaborator. The following two examples fail, because of limitations in the elaboration process.
variables {M : Type*} [has_add M] [topological_space M] [has_continuous_add M]
example : continuous (λ x : M, x + x) :=
continuous_add.comp _

example : continuous (λ x : M, x + x) :=
continuous_add.comp (continuous_id.prod_mk continuous_id)

The second is a valid proof, which is accepted if you write it as continuous_add.comp (continuous_id.prod_mk continuous_id : _)

  1. If the operation has more than 2 arguments, they are impractical to use, because in your application the arguments in the domain might be in a different order or associated differently.

The convenient way #

A much more convenient way to write continuity lemmas is like continuous.add:

continuous.add {f g : X → M} (hf : continuous f) (hg : continuous g) : continuous (λ x, f x + g x)

The conclusion can be continuous (f + g), which is definitionally equal. This has the following advantages

  • It supports projection notation, so is shorter to write.
  • continuous.add _ _ is recognized correctly by the elaborator and gives useful new goals.
  • It works generally, since the domain is a variable.

As an example for an unary operation, we have continuous.neg.

continuous.neg {f : α → G} (hf : continuous f) : continuous (λ x, -f x)

For unary functions, the elaborator is not confused when applying the traditional lemma (like continuous_neg), but it's still convenient to have the short version available (compare hf.neg.neg.neg with continuous_neg.comp $ continuous_neg.comp $ continuous_neg.comp hf).

As a harder example, consider an operation of the following type:

def strans {x : F} (γ γ' : path x x) (t₀ : I) : path x x

The precise definition is not important, only its type. The correct continuity principle for this operation is something like this:

{f : X → F} {γ γ' : ∀ x, path (f x) (f x)} {t₀ s : X → I}
  (hγ : continuous ↿γ) (hγ' : continuous ↿γ')
  (ht : continuous t₀) (hs : continuous s) :
  continuous (λ x, strans (γ x) (γ' x) (t x) (s x))

Note that all arguments of strans are indexed over X, even the basepoint x, and the last argument s that arises since path x x has a coercion to I → F. The paths γ and γ' (which are unary functions from I) become binary functions in the continuity lemma.

Summary #

  • Make sure that your continuity lemmas are stated in the most general way, and in a convenient form. That means that:
    • The conclusion has a variable X as domain (not something like Y × Z);
    • Wherever possible, all point arguments c : Y are replaced by functions c : X → Y;
    • All n-ary function arguments are replaced by n+1-ary functions (f : Y → Z becomes f : X → Y → Z);
    • All (relevant) arguments have continuity assumptions, and perhaps there are additional assumptions needed to make the operation continuous;
    • The function in the conclusion is fully applied.
  • These remarks are mostly about the format of the conclusion of a continuity lemma. In assumptions it's fine to state that a function with more than 1 argument is continuous using ↿ or function.uncurry.

Functions with discontinuities #

In some cases, you want to work with discontinuous functions, and in certain expressions they are still continuous. For example, consider the fractional part of a number, fract : ℝ → ℝ. In this case, you want to add conditions to when a function involving fract is continuous, so you get something like this: (assumption hf could be weakened, but the important thing is the shape of the conclusion)

lemma continuous_on.comp_fract {X Y : Type*} [topological_space X] [topological_space Y]
  {f : X → ℝ → Y} {g : X → ℝ} (hf : continuous ↿f) (hg : continuous g) (h : ∀ s, f s 0 = f s 1) :
  continuous (λ x, f x (fract (g x)))

With continuous_at you can be even more precise about what to prove in case of discontinuities, see e.g. continuous_at.comp_div_cases.
