Metrizability of a T₃ topological space with second countable topology #
In this file we define metrizable topological spaces, i.e., topological spaces for which there exists a metric space structure that generates the same topology.
We also show that a T₃ topological space with second countable topology X
is metrizable.
First we prove that X
can be embedded into l^∞
, then use this embedding to pull back the metric
space structure.
- exists_pseudo_metric : ∃ m, UniformSpace.toTopologicalSpace = t
A topological space is pseudo metrizable if there exists a pseudo metric space structure
compatible with the topology. To endow such a space with a compatible distance, use
letI : PseudoMetricSpace X := TopologicalSpace.pseudoMetrizableSpacePseudoMetric X
.
Instances
Construct on a metrizable space a metric compatible with the topology.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Given an inducing map of a topological space into a pseudo metrizable space, the source space is also pseudo metrizable.
Every pseudo-metrizable space is first countable.
- exists_metric : ∃ m, UniformSpace.toTopologicalSpace = t
A topological space is metrizable if there exists a metric space structure compatible with the
topology. To endow such a space with a compatible distance, use
letI : MetricSpace X := TopologicalSpace.metrizableSpaceMetric X
.
Instances
Construct on a metrizable space a metric compatible with the topology.
Equations
- TopologicalSpace.metrizableSpaceMetric X = MetricSpace.replaceTopology (Exists.choose (_ : ∃ m, UniformSpace.toTopologicalSpace = inst)) (_ : inst = UniformSpace.toTopologicalSpace)
Instances For
Given an embedding of a topological space into a metrizable space, the source space is also metrizable.
A T₃ topological space with second countable topology can be embedded into l^∞ = ℕ →ᵇ ℝ
.
Urysohn's metrization theorem (Tychonoff's version): a T₃ topological space with second
countable topology X
is metrizable, i.e., there exists a metric space structure that generates the
same topology.
