Uniform structure on topological groups #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file defines uniform groups and its additive counterpart. These typeclasses should be
preferred over using [topological_space α] [topological_group α]
since every topological
group naturally induces a uniform structure.
Main declarations #

Main results #
-
topological_add_group.to_uniform_space
andtopological_add_comm_group_is_uniform
can be used to construct a canonical uniformity for a topological add group. -
extension of ℤ-bilinear maps to complete groups (useful for ring completions)
-
quotient_group.complete_space
andquotient_add_group.complete_space
guarantee that quotients of first countable topological groups by normal subgroups are themselves complete. In particular, the quotient of a Banach space by a subspace is complete.
- uniform_continuous_div : uniform_continuous (λ (p : α × α), p.fst / p.snd)
A uniform group is a group in which multiplication and inversion are uniformly continuous.
- uniform_continuous_sub : uniform_continuous (λ (p : α × α), p.fst - p.snd)
A uniform additive group is an additive group in which addition and negation are uniformly continuous.

A group homomorphism (a bundled morphism of a type that implements monoid_hom_class
) between
two uniform groups is uniformly continuous provided that it is continuous at one. See also
continuous_of_continuous_at_one
.
An additive group homomorphism (a bundled morphism of a type that implements
add_monoid_hom_class
) between two uniform additive groups is uniformly continuous provided that it
is continuous at zero. See also continuous_of_continuous_at_zero
.
A homomorphism from a uniform group to a discrete uniform group is continuous if and only if its kernel is open.
A homomorphism from a uniform additive group to a discrete uniform additive group is continuous if and only if its kernel is open.
The right uniformity on a topological additive group (as opposed to the left uniformity).
Warning: in general the right and left uniformities do not coincide and so one does not obtain a
uniform_add_group
structure. Two important special cases where they do coincide are for
commutative additive groups (see topological_add_comm_group_is_uniform
) and for compact
additive groups (see topological_add_comm_group_is_uniform_of_compact_space
).
Equations

Bourbaki GT III.6.5 Theorem I: ℤ-bilinear continuous maps from dense images into a complete Hausdorff group extend by continuity. Note: Bourbaki assumes that α and β are also complete Hausdorff, but this is not necessary.
The quotient G ⧸ N
of a complete first countable topological group G
by a normal subgroup
is itself complete. N. Bourbaki, General Topology, IX.3.1 Proposition 4
Because a topological group is not equipped with a uniform_space
instance by default, we must
explicitly provide it in order to consider completeness. See quotient_group.complete_space
for a
version in which G
is already equipped with a uniform structure.

of a complete first countable topological additive group

The quotient G ⧸ N
of a complete first countable uniform group G
by a normal subgroup
is itself complete. In constrast to quotient_group.complete_space'
, in this version G
is
already equipped with a uniform structure.
N. Bourbaki, General Topology, IX.3.1 Proposition 4
Even though G
is equipped with a uniform structure, the quotient G ⧸ N
does not inherit a
uniform structure, so it is still provided manually via topological_group.to_uniform_space
.
In the most common use cases, this coincides (definitionally) with the uniform structure on the
quotient obtained via other means.

In the most common use case ─ quotients of normed additive commutative groups by subgroups ─
significant care was taken so that the uniform structure inherent in that setting coincides
(definitionally) with the uniform structure provided here.
