Algebraic structures over continuous functions #
In this file we define instances of algebraic structures over the type ContinuousMap α β
(denoted C(α, β)) of bundled continuous maps from α to β. For example, C(α, β)
is a group when β is a group, a ring when β is a ring, etc.
For each type of algebraic structure, we also define an appropriate subobject of α → β
with carrier { f : α → β | Continuous f }. For example, when β is a group, a subgroup
continuousSubgroup α β of α → β is constructed with carrier { f : α → β | Continuous f }.
Note that, rather than using the derived algebraic structures on these subobjects
(for example, when β is a group, the derived group structure on continuousSubgroup α β),
one should use C(α, β) with the appropriate instance of the structure.

If an infinite product of functions in C(α, β) converges to g
(for the compact-open topology), then the pointwise product converges to g x for all x ∈ α.

Algebra structure #
In this section we show that continuous functions valued in a topological algebra A over a ring

A version of Set.SeparatesPoints for subalgebras of the continuous functions,
used for stating the Stone-Weierstrass theorem.
Equations
Instances For
A set of continuous maps "separates points strongly" if for each pair of distinct points there is a function with specified values on them.
We give a slightly unusual formulation, where the specified values are given by some
function v, and we ask f x = v x ∧ f y = v y. This avoids needing a hypothesis x ≠ y.
In fact, this definition would work perfectly well for a set of non-continuous functions, but as the only current use case is in the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, writing it this way avoids having to deal with casts inside the set. (This may need to change if we do Stone-Weierstrass on non-compact spaces, where the functions would be continuous functions vanishing at infinity.)
Equations
Instances For
Working in continuous functions into a topological field, a subalgebra of functions that separates points also separates points strongly.
By the hypothesis, we can find a function f so f x ≠ f y.
By an affine transformation in the field we can arrange so that f x = a and f x = b.
Structure as module over scalar functions #
If M is a module over R, then we show that the space of continuous functions from α to M
is naturally a module over the ring of continuous functions from α to R.
