(Topological) Schemes and their induced maps #
In topology, and especially descriptive set theory, one often constructs functions (ℕ → β) → α
,
where α is some topological space and β is a discrete space, as an appropriate limit of some map
List β → Set α
. We call the latter type of map a "β
-scheme on α
".
This file develops the basic, abstract theory of these schemes and the functions they induce.
Main Definitions #
CantorScheme.inducedMap A
: The aforementioned "limit" of a schemeA : List β → Set α
. This is a partial function fromℕ → β
toa
, implemented here as an object of typeΣ s : Set (ℕ → β), s → α
. That is,(inducedMap A).1
is the domain and(inducedMap A).2
is the function.
Implementation Notes #
We consider end-appending to be the fundamental way to build lists (say on β
) inductively,
as this interacts better with the topology on ℕ → β
.
As a result, functions like List.get?
or Stream'.take
do not have their intended meaning
in this file. See instead PiNat.res
.

From a β
-scheme on α
A
, we define a partial function from (ℕ → β)
to α
which sends each infinite sequence x
to an element of the intersection along the
branch corresponding to x
, if it exists.
We call this the map induced by the scheme.

Instances For
A useful strengthening of being antitone is to require that each set contains the closure of each of its children.
Instances For
If x
is in the domain of the induced map of a scheme A
,
its image under this map is in each set along the corresponding branch.
A scheme where the children of each set are pairwise disjoint induces an injective map.
A scheme on a metric space has vanishing diameter if diameter approaches 0 along each branch.

Instances For
A scheme with vanishing diameter along each branch induces a continuous map.
A scheme on a complete space with vanishing diameter such that each set contains the closure of its children induces a total map.
