Topological study of spaces Π (n : ℕ), E n

When E n are topological spaces, the space Π (n : ℕ), E n is naturally a topological space (with the product topology). When E n are uniform spaces, it also inherits a uniform structure. However, it does not inherit a canonical metric space structure of the E n. Nevertheless, one can put a noncanonical metric space structure (or rather, several of them). This is done in this file.

Main definitions and results

One can define a combinatorial distance on Π (n : ℕ), E n, as follows:

• PiNat.cylinder x n is the set of points y with x i = y i for i < n.
• PiNat.firstDiff x y is the first index at which x i ≠ y i.
• PiNat.dist x y is equal to (1/2) ^ (firstDiff x y). It defines a distance on Π (n : ℕ), E n, compatible with the topology when the E n have the discrete topology.
• PiNat.metricSpace: the metric space structure, given by this distance. Not registered as an instance. This space is a complete metric space.
• PiNat.metricSpaceOfDiscreteUniformity: the same metric space structure, but adjusting the uniformity defeqness when the E n already have the discrete uniformity. Not registered as an instance
• PiNat.metricSpaceNatNat: the particular case of ℕ → ℕ, not registered as an instance.

These results are used to construct continuous functions on Π n, E n:

• PiNat.exists_retraction_of_isClosed: given a nonempty closed subset s of Π (n : ℕ), E n, there exists a retraction onto s, i.e., a continuous map from the whole space to s restricting to the identity on s.
• exists_nat_nat_continuous_surjective_of_completeSpace: given any nonempty complete metric space with second-countable topology, there exists a continuous surjection from ℕ → ℕ onto this space.

One can also put distances on Π (i : ι), E i when the spaces E i are metric spaces (not discrete in general), and ι is countable.

• PiCountable.dist is the distance on Π i, E i given by dist x y = ∑' i, min (1/2)^(encode i) (dist (x i) (y i)).
• PiCountable.metricSpace is the corresponding metric space structure, adjusted so that the uniformity is definitionally the product uniformity. Not registered as an instance.

The firstDiff function

@[irreducible]

def PiNat.firstDiff {E : ℕ → Type u_2} (x y : (n : ℕ) → E n) : ℕ

In a product space Π n, E n, then firstDiff x y is the first index at which x and y differ. If x = y, then by convention we set firstDiff x x = 0.

In a product space Π n, E n, the cylinder set of length n around x, denoted cylinder x n, is the set of sequences y that coincide with x on the first n symbols, i.e., such that y i = x i for all i < n.

A distance function on Π n, E n

We define a distance function on Π n, E n, given by dist x y = (1/2)^n where n is the first index at which x and y differ. When each E n has the discrete topology, this distance will define the right topology on the product space. We do not record a global Dist instance nor a MetricSpace instance, as other distances may be used on these spaces, but we register them as local instances in this section.

Not registered as a global instance by default. Warning: this definition makes sure that the topology is defeq to the original product topology, but it does not take care of a possible uniformity. If the E n have a uniform structure, then there will be two non-defeq uniform structures on Π n, E n, the product one and the one coming from the metric structure. In this case, use metricSpaceOfDiscreteUniformity instead.

Retractions inside product spaces

We show that, in a space Π (n : ℕ), E n where each E n is discrete, there is a retraction on any closed nonempty subset s, i.e., a continuous map f from the whole space to s restricting to the identity on s. The map f is defined as follows. For x ∈ s, let f x = x. Otherwise, consider the longest prefix w that x shares with an element of s, and let f x = z_w where z_w is an element of s starting with w.
