7 Metric Spaces Definition Let (E, d) and (F, D) be two metric spaces and f : E F a surjective map. Then 1 f is open (d-open or w-open) if and only if, for every x E and ɛ > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that f (B(x, ɛ)) B(f (x), δ), (resp. f (B(x, ɛ)) B(f (x), δ) or int(f (B(x, ɛ))) ).

10 Motivation Theorem (Open Mapping Theorem (Banach-Schauder Theorem)) Every continuous and linear surjective map between two Banach spaces is open. This property does not extend to bilinear maps. (Functional Analysis by Rudin. Problem 11 on p. 54) P : R R 2 R 2 given by P (t, (x, y)) = t (x, y) = (tx, ty). Is P open? Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

11 Motivation Theorem (Open Mapping Theorem (Banach-Schauder Theorem)) Every continuous and linear surjective map between two Banach spaces is open. This property does not extend to bilinear maps. (Functional Analysis by Rudin. Problem 11 on p. 54) P : R R 2 R 2 given by P (t, (x, y)) = t (x, y) = (tx, ty). Is P open? No. To show: P is not open at (0, (1, 0)).

(Functional Analysis by Rudin. Problem 11 on p. 54) P : R R 2 R 2 given by P (t, (x, y)) = t (x, y) = (tx, ty). Is P open? No. To show: P is not open at (0, (1, 0)). Let ɛ = 1/2. For every δ > 0, we have that (0, δ/2) B((0, 0), δ), yet (0, δ/2) / B(0, ɛ) B((1, 0), ɛ). Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

13 Scalar Multiplication Let {A k } be a sequence of normed spaces over the same field F, with resp. norms k ( k N). Let A be c 0 ({A k } k ), l p ({A k } k ) (p 1) or l ({A k } k ). Lemma Let T : F A A be given by T (t, a) = t a = (ta i ) i=1,...n. The following statements are equivalent: 1 t 0 or (t, a) = (0, 0). 2 T is open at (t, a). 3 T is d-open at (t, a). Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

14 T is open at (t, a), for t 0, and T is open at (0, 0) If t 0, then ɛ > 0, let δ = t ɛ. Then B(ta, δ) {λy : λ B(t, ɛ) and y B(a, ɛ)}. For x B(ta, δ), set y = 1 x, λ = t. t Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

15 T is open at (t, a), for t 0, and T is open at (0, 0) If t 0, then ɛ > 0, let δ = t ɛ. Then B(ta, δ) {λy : λ B(t, ɛ) and y B(a, ɛ)}. For x B(ta, δ), set y = 1 x, λ = t. t If t = 0, a i = 0 for all i, then ɛ > 0, set δ = ɛ, with k such that k 1 k < ɛ. B(0, δ) B(0, ɛ) B(0, ɛ) = {(λy) : λ B(0, ɛ) and y B(0, ɛ)}. Given x B(0, δ), let λ = 1 k B(0, ɛ) and y = kx B(0, ɛ). Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

16 T is weakly open Recall: T (t, a) = t a = (ta i ) i=1,...n Lemma T is weakly open. O(T ) = {(t, a) : t 0} {(0, 0)} O(T ) is dense in F A Thus B(0, ɛ) B(a, ɛ) B(ɛ/2, ɛ/4) B(a, ɛ/4) B(ɛ/2 a, ɛ 2 /8) x ɛ 2 a < ɛ2 8 implies 2 ɛ x a < ɛ 4.

17 Problem Let X be an algebra: when are the basic binary operations (addition, scalar product, and multiplication) open? Lemma Let X be a topological vector space. Then + : X X X is open. Proof. To show: If O 1, O 2 are open, then is open. O 1 + O 2 = {x + y : x O 1, y O 2 } = y O2 O 1 + {y} T : X X with T (u) = u + y is a homeomorphism, so T is open. O 1 + O 2 is a union of open sets Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

18 Addition is open Corollary Let X be a normed space. Then + : X X X is open (uniformly open). Proof. We have the following result (c.f. M.Balcerzak, A.Wachowicz, and W.Wilczyński, Studia Mathematica 170 (2005), no. 2, ): B(x 1, r 1 ) + B(x 2, r 2 ) = B(x 1 + x 2, r 1 + r 2 ). The result now follows from the definition of uniform openness. Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24

19 Multiplication The multiplication on C([0, 1]) is not open. Example (Fremlin) P : C([0, 1]) C([0, 1]) C([0, 1]), P(f, g) = f g 1 Let f (x) = x 1 2 and ɛ = B(f 2, δ) B(f, 1 4 ) B(f, 1 4 ) f (0) = 1 2 ; f (1) = 1 2 All functions in B(f, 1 4 ) must vanish at some point f 2 + δ 2 > 0 does not vanish 3 P is not open at (f, f ) Holly Renaud (UofM) Topological Properties of Operations May 3, / 24
