Compact convergence (uniform convergence on compact sets)

Given a topological space α and a uniform space β (e.g., a metric space or a topological group), the space of continuous maps C(α, β) carries a natural uniform space structure. We define this uniform space structure in this file and also prove the following properties of the topology it induces on C(α, β):

1. Given a sequence of continuous functions Fₙ : α → β together with some continuous f : α → β, then Fₙ converges to f as a sequence in C(α, β) iff Fₙ converges to f uniformly on each compact subset K of α.
2. Given Fₙ and f as above and suppose α is locally compact, then Fₙ converges to f iff Fₙ converges to f locally uniformly.
3. The topology coincides with the compact-open topology.

Property 1 is essentially true by definition, 2 follows from basic results about uniform convergence, but 3 requires a little work and uses the Lebesgue number lemma.

The uniform space structure

Given subsets K ⊆ α and V ⊆ β × β, let E(K, V) ⊆ C(α, β) × C(α, β) be the set of pairs of continuous functions α → β which are V-close on K: $$ E(K, V) = { (f, g) | ∀ (x ∈ K), (f x, g x) ∈ V }. $$ Fixing some f ∈ C(α, β), let N(K, V, f) ⊆ C(α, β) be the set of continuous functions α → β which are V-close to f on K: $$ N(K, V, f) = { g | ∀ (x ∈ K), (f x, g x) ∈ V }. $$ Using this notation we can describe the uniform space structure and the topology it induces. Specifically:

• A subset X ⊆ C(α, β) × C(α, β) is an entourage for the uniform space structure on C(α, β) iff there exists a compact K and entourage V such that E(K, V) ⊆ X.
• A subset Y ⊆ C(α, β) is a neighbourhood of f iff there exists a compact K and entourage V such that N(K, V, f) ⊆ Y.

The topology on C(α, β) thus has a natural subbasis (the compact-open subbasis) and a natural neighbourhood basis (the compact-convergence neighbourhood basis).

Main definitions / results

• ContinuousMap.compactOpen_eq_compactConvergence: the compact-open topology is equal to the compact-convergence topology.
• ContinuousMap.compactConvergenceUniformSpace: the uniform space structure on C(α, β).
• ContinuousMap.mem_compactConvergence_entourage_iff: a characterisation of the entourages of C(α, β).
• ContinuousMap.tendsto_iff_forall_compact_tendstoUniformlyOn: a sequence of functions Fₙ in C(α, β) converges to some f iff Fₙ converges to f uniformly on each compact subset K of α.
• ContinuousMap.tendsto_iff_tendstoLocallyUniformly: on a locally compact space, a sequence of functions Fₙ in C(α, β) converges to some f iff Fₙ converges to f locally uniformly.
• ContinuousMap.tendsto_iff_tendstoUniformly: on a compact space, a sequence of functions Fₙ in C(α, β) converges to some f iff Fₙ converges to f uniformly.

Implementation details

We use the forgetful inheritance pattern (see Note [forgetful inheritance]) to make the topology of the uniform space structure on C(α, β) definitionally equal to the compact-open topology.

TODO

• When β is a metric space, there is natural basis for the compact-convergence topology parameterised by triples (K, ε, f) for a real number ε > 0.
• When α is compact and β is a metric space, the compact-convergence topology (and thus also the compact-open topology) is metrisable.
• Results about uniformly continuous functions γ → C(α, β) and uniform limits of sequences ι → γ → C(α, β).

Given K ⊆ α, V ⊆ β × β, and f : C(α, β), we define ContinuousMap.compactConvNhd K V f to be the set of g : C(α, β) that are V-close to f on K.

def ContinuousMap.compactConvergenceTopology {α : Type u₁} {β : Type u₂} [TopologicalSpace α] [UniformSpace β] : TopologicalSpace C(α, β)

The compact-convergence topology. In fact, see ContinuousMap.compactOpen_eq_compactConvergence this is the same as the compact-open topology. This definition is thus an auxiliary convenience definition and is unlikely to be of direct use.

This is an auxiliary lemma and is unlikely to be of direct use outside of this file. See ContinuousMap.tendsto_iff_forall_compact_tendstoUniformlyOn below for the useful version where the topology is picked up via typeclass inference.

Any point of ContinuousMap.CompactOpen.gen K U is also an interior point wrt the topology of compact convergence.

The topology of compact convergence is thus at least as fine as the compact-open topology.

theorem ContinuousMap.iInter_compactOpen_gen_subset_compactConvNhd {α : Type u₁} {β : Type u₂} [TopologicalSpace α] [UniformSpace β] {K : Set α} {V : Set (β × β)} (f : C(α, β)) (hK : IsCompact K) (hV : V ∈ uniformity β) : ∃ (ι : Type u₁) (x : Fintype ι) (C : ι → Set α) (_ : ∀ (i : ι), IsCompact (C i)) (U : ι → Set β) (_ : ∀ (i : ι), IsOpen (U i)), f ∈ ⋂ (i : ι), ContinuousMap.CompactOpen.gen (C i) (U i) ∧ ⋂ (i : ι), ContinuousMap.CompactOpen.gen (C i) (U i) ⊆ ContinuousMap.compactConvNhd K V f

The point f in ContinuousMap.compactConvNhd K V f is also an interior point wrt the compact-open topology.

Since ContinuousMap.compactConvNhd K V f are a neighbourhood basis at f for each f, it follows that the compact-open topology is at least as fine as the topology of compact convergence.

theorem ContinuousMap.compactOpen_eq_compactConvergence {α : Type u₁} {β : Type u₂} [TopologicalSpace α] [UniformSpace β] : ContinuousMap.compactOpen = ContinuousMap.compactConvergenceTopology
