00:00:10.633 --> 00:00:12.050 align:middle line:84%
PAIGE BRIGHT: Last
time we started

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:15.410 align:middle line:84%
talking about metric spaces
being compact on Euclidean

00:00:15.410 --> 00:00:17.720 align:middle line:84%
space in particular,
where we showed

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:21.860 align:middle line:84%
on Rn that sequentially
compact was the same as

00:00:21.860 --> 00:00:23.900 align:middle line:84%
closed and bounded,
which was the same as

00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:25.610 align:middle line:90%
topologically compact.

00:00:25.610 --> 00:00:27.560 align:middle line:84%
And notice that in
these two theorems,

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:30.020 align:middle line:84%
we use some very important
propositions that we've

00:00:30.020 --> 00:00:32.150 align:middle line:90%
learned from real analysis.

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:34.910 align:middle line:84%
To prove that closed and bounded
implied sequentially compact,

00:00:34.910 --> 00:00:37.920 align:middle line:84%
we have to use the
Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem,

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.250 align:middle line:84%
which essentially states
exactly the condition

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:43.160 align:middle line:90%
of sequentially compactness.

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:44.415 align:middle line:90%
Bolzano-Weierstrass.

00:00:44.415 --> 00:00:48.130 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:51.490 align:middle line:84%
And to use closed and bounded,
to show topologically compact,

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:56.960 align:middle line:84%
we had to use the
Heine-Borel theorem,

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.620 align:middle line:84%
where we trapped our compact
set inside of a closed cube.

00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:04.849 align:middle line:84%
And we know that that closed
cube is going to be compact,

00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:08.070 align:middle line:84%
but we don't always have these
closed cubes on metric spaces,

00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:08.570 align:middle line:90%
right?

00:01:08.570 --> 00:01:13.010 align:middle line:84%
What does it mean for there
to be a cube of functions?

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:15.110 align:middle line:84%
And in fact, in general,
these implications

00:01:15.110 --> 00:01:17.150 align:middle line:84%
are not going to
be precisely true.

00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:19.670 align:middle line:84%
And small error from
last time-- last time,

00:01:19.670 --> 00:01:22.370 align:middle line:84%
I stated that sequentially
compact was the same as closed

00:01:22.370 --> 00:01:23.690 align:middle line:90%
and bounded on metric spaces.

00:01:23.690 --> 00:01:26.510 align:middle line:90%
This is not the case.

00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:28.760 align:middle line:90%
Sorry about that.

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.640 align:middle line:84%
We are using Bolzano-Weierstrass
to prove this theorem.

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.070 align:middle line:84%
And we need it to show
the other implication.

00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:37.410 align:middle line:84%
If it was always the same,
then all three of these

00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:38.430 align:middle line:90%
would always be true.

00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:39.240 align:middle line:90%
And it's not.

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.070 align:middle line:84%
Metric spaces where
closed and bounded

00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:44.640 align:middle line:84%
implies topologically compact
have the Heine-Borel property.

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.740 align:middle line:84%
And not every metric
space has this property.

00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:50.040 align:middle line:84%
But what we're
going to show today

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.050 align:middle line:90%
is that if we're not on Rn--

00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:56.310 align:middle line:84%
if we're on a
general metric space,

00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.205 align:middle line:84%
we still have the
following implications.

00:01:59.205 --> 00:02:01.080 align:middle line:84%
We already know that
sequentially compact and

00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:04.200 align:middle line:84%
topologically compact implies
closed and bounded, which

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.820 align:middle line:90%
is a very helpful thing, right?

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:08.893 align:middle line:84%
If you want to show that a
metric space isn't compact,

00:02:08.893 --> 00:02:11.310 align:middle line:84%
you just have to show that
it's not closed or at least not

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:12.570 align:middle line:90%
bounded.

00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:15.180 align:middle line:84%
But we're still going to have
the following implication--

00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:16.560 align:middle line:90%
what we're going to show today.

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.560 align:middle line:84%
We're going to show that
sequentially compact is

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.060 align:middle line:84%
the same as
topologically compact.

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:24.240 align:middle line:90%


00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.580 align:middle line:84%
In fact, we're going to show
two more properties that

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:29.280 align:middle line:84%
emphasize the importance
of compact metric spaces

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.210 align:middle line:90%
in general.

00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:32.190 align:middle line:84%
It's going to be a very
proof-intensive day,

00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:38.670 align:middle line:84%
but I hope you stick
with it with me.

00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:41.010 align:middle line:84%
So yeah, that's
our goal for today.

00:02:41.010 --> 00:02:43.440 align:middle line:84%
Before we show sequentially
compact implies

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.050 align:middle line:84%
topologically compact,
and furthermore,

00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:47.880 align:middle line:84%
the opposite
direction, first, we're

00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:49.740 align:middle line:84%
going to start by
proving some lemmas

00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:51.660 align:middle line:84%
about sequential
compactness to make our job

00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:53.800 align:middle line:84%
just a little bit
easier in the long term.

00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:55.290 align:middle line:84%
And in fact, these
lemmas are going

00:02:55.290 --> 00:02:57.190 align:middle line:84%
to be used throughout
the rest of the class,

00:02:57.190 --> 00:03:00.000 align:middle line:90%
so please pay attention.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.060 align:middle line:84%
So first, we have what
is known as the lemma--

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:04.425 align:middle line:90%
the big number lemma--

00:03:04.425 --> 00:03:11.820 align:middle line:90%


00:03:11.820 --> 00:03:13.650 align:middle line:84%
where here I'm just
not writing out number.

00:03:13.650 --> 00:03:16.210 align:middle line:84%
But the idea is given
our metric space

00:03:16.210 --> 00:03:25.095 align:middle line:84%
x is sequentially compact, if
I have an open cover of x--

00:03:25.095 --> 00:03:29.260 align:middle line:90%


00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:30.895 align:middle line:90%
let's call this our Ui's--

00:03:30.895 --> 00:03:34.160 align:middle line:90%


00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:38.750 align:middle line:84%
then there exists an
R bigger than 0 such

00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:43.700 align:middle line:84%
that for all x in x, the
ball of radius r around

00:03:43.700 --> 00:03:51.020 align:middle line:84%
x is contained in one
of the Ui's for some i.

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.210 align:middle line:84%
Now, let's draw a picture
of what I'm actually

00:03:53.210 --> 00:03:55.700 align:middle line:84%
describing here
because this quantifier

00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:57.200 align:middle line:84%
logic can be a
little bit confusing

00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:58.980 align:middle line:90%
the first time you see it.

00:03:58.980 --> 00:03:59.720 align:middle line:90%
So here.

00:03:59.720 --> 00:04:04.947 align:middle line:84%
Let's just draw a little
blob for a metric space x.

00:04:04.947 --> 00:04:07.280 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to do
is find an open cover of this

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:07.940 align:middle line:90%
by the Ui.

00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:09.200 align:middle line:90%
So I'll draw these by circles.

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:12.590 align:middle line:90%


00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:13.780 align:middle line:90%
So these are our Ui's.

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:20.760 align:middle line:90%


00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:22.089 align:middle line:90%
OK, there we go.

00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:25.230 align:middle line:84%
And now, for every
x in x, we claim

00:04:25.230 --> 00:04:28.170 align:middle line:84%
that there exists
a ball of radius R

00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:31.470 align:middle line:84%
around x such that
it's contained in only

00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:35.520 align:middle line:90%
one of these open sets--

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:38.430 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, not only
one-- that it's fully

00:04:38.430 --> 00:04:40.050 align:middle line:90%
contained in one of these sets.

00:04:40.050 --> 00:04:43.940 align:middle line:90%


00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.670 align:middle line:84%
And this might ring
out to you as being

00:04:46.670 --> 00:04:49.010 align:middle line:84%
true if you want to prove
topologically compact

00:04:49.010 --> 00:04:50.805 align:middle line:84%
is the same as
sequentially compact.

00:04:50.805 --> 00:04:52.430 align:middle line:84%
What we're going to
do in the long term

00:04:52.430 --> 00:04:54.560 align:middle line:84%
is assume that we're
sequentially compact,

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:00.410 align:middle line:84%
take an open cover, and use this
R to construct our conclusion.

00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:02.810 align:middle line:84%
But first, we have
to prove this fact.

00:05:02.810 --> 00:05:06.205 align:middle line:84%
And the proof is
going to be pretty

00:05:06.205 --> 00:05:07.580 align:middle line:84%
usual for sequential
compactness.

00:05:07.580 --> 00:05:11.540 align:middle line:84%
So our proof is going
to be by contradiction.

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:20.023 align:middle line:84%
We're going to use
contradiction, assume not true.

00:05:20.023 --> 00:05:22.190 align:middle line:84%
What does it mean for this
statement to be not true?

00:05:22.190 --> 00:05:26.390 align:middle line:84%
Well, it means that for
every R bigger than 0,

00:05:26.390 --> 00:05:34.000 align:middle line:84%
there exists some x in x such
that the ball of radius R

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.070 align:middle line:84%
around an x is not contained
in any of the Ui's.

00:05:39.070 --> 00:05:40.900 align:middle line:84%
It's contained in a
cover of the Ui's.

00:05:40.900 --> 00:05:45.105 align:middle line:84%
It's just not fully contained
in one of them, at least.

00:05:45.105 --> 00:05:46.480 align:middle line:84%
And what we're
going to do is use

00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.510 align:middle line:84%
this to construct a sequence and
take the convergent subsequence

00:05:49.510 --> 00:05:51.230 align:middle line:90%
and reach contradiction.

00:05:51.230 --> 00:06:00.580 align:middle line:84%
So for each R equal
to 1 over n, choose

00:06:00.580 --> 00:06:07.310 align:middle line:84%
x n to satisfy the
above property.

00:06:07.310 --> 00:06:09.710 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to choose the
points in our sequence to be

00:06:09.710 --> 00:06:12.410 align:middle line:84%
the xn, or at least
one of the xn,

00:06:12.410 --> 00:06:15.920 align:middle line:84%
such that the ball of radius R
or the ball of radius 1 over n

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.527 align:middle line:84%
around x is not contained
in any of the Ui's.

00:06:18.527 --> 00:06:21.110 align:middle line:84%
And we know that this is going
to be true because one of our n

00:06:21.110 --> 00:06:23.960 align:middle line:90%
is going to be bigger than 0.

00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:25.880 align:middle line:84%
So what are we going to
do with the sequence?

00:06:25.880 --> 00:06:27.560 align:middle line:84%
Well, we're going
to start by taking

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.120 align:middle line:90%
a convergent subsequence, right?

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.560 align:middle line:84%
We're going to use the fact
that we're sequentially compact.

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.820 align:middle line:84%
And this trend will carry
on throughout the day.

00:06:35.820 --> 00:06:42.170 align:middle line:84%
So we have a convergent
subsequence--

00:06:42.170 --> 00:06:46.040 align:middle line:90%


00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.690 align:middle line:90%
let's call it xnk--

00:06:47.690 --> 00:06:49.760 align:middle line:90%
converging to x, of course.

00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:52.220 align:middle line:84%
That's what we
usually let it be.

00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:52.910 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:06:52.910 --> 00:06:54.260 align:middle line:90%
So what are we going to do?

00:06:54.260 --> 00:06:55.820 align:middle line:84%
We want to reach
the contradiction

00:06:55.820 --> 00:06:59.180 align:middle line:84%
that there is, in fact, a
ball of radius R around one

00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:01.610 align:middle line:84%
of these x's
contained in the Ui.

00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:02.550 align:middle line:90%
How do we do that?

00:07:02.550 --> 00:07:08.030 align:middle line:84%
Well first, we notice that x
has to be in one of the Ui's.

00:07:08.030 --> 00:07:11.970 align:middle line:90%
x in Ui0 for some i0.

00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:16.700 align:middle line:84%
And this is true given that
it's an open cover of our space.

00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:21.290 align:middle line:84%
And therefore, because
the Ui0 is open,

00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:28.070 align:middle line:84%
there exists an R0 bigger than 0
such that the ball of radius R0

00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:29.420 align:middle line:90%
is contained in Ui0.

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:32.450 align:middle line:90%


00:07:32.450 --> 00:07:32.950 align:middle line:90%
Right?

00:07:32.950 --> 00:07:36.820 align:middle line:84%
Now, we want to find
a subset of this such

00:07:36.820 --> 00:07:38.330 align:middle line:90%
that we reach for contradiction.

00:07:38.330 --> 00:07:56.540 align:middle line:84%
So choose n sufficiently
large so that 1 over n

00:07:56.540 --> 00:08:08.120 align:middle line:84%
is less than R0 over 2 and
do the distance from x to xn

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.670 align:middle line:90%
is less than R0 over 2.

00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:15.560 align:middle line:84%
And we're going to use this to
create a subset of b R0 of x.

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.570 align:middle line:90%
So how do we do that?

00:08:16.570 --> 00:08:27.550 align:middle line:84%
Well, we consider the ball
of radius 1 over n around x--

00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:28.720 align:middle line:90%
or sorry, around xn.

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.730 align:middle line:90%


00:08:31.730 --> 00:08:36.409 align:middle line:84%
So for all y in
this set, we notice

00:08:36.409 --> 00:08:46.220 align:middle line:84%
that the distance from
x to y is less than

00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:52.430 align:middle line:84%
or equal to the distance from x
to xn plus the distance from y

00:08:52.430 --> 00:08:54.320 align:middle line:90%
to xn.

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.520 align:middle line:84%
This is by the
triangle inequality.

00:08:56.520 --> 00:09:03.350 align:middle line:84%
This term is going to
be less than R0 over 2.

00:09:03.350 --> 00:09:07.330 align:middle line:84%
It's less than 1 over n,
which is less than R0 over 2

00:09:07.330 --> 00:09:10.990 align:middle line:84%
plus 1 over something
that's less than 1

00:09:10.990 --> 00:09:15.030 align:middle line:84%
over n, which is
less than R0 over 2.

00:09:15.030 --> 00:09:18.450 align:middle line:84%
So this is R0, which tells
us that the ball of radius

00:09:18.450 --> 00:09:26.680 align:middle line:84%
1 over n around x
is fully contained.

00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:32.980 align:middle line:84%
And the ball of radius R0 around
x, which is fully contained,

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:36.040 align:middle line:84%
and Ui0, which is our
contradiction, right?

00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:38.980 align:middle line:84%
Because we claimed at the very
beginning that none of these

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:44.710 align:middle line:84%
balls are going to be fully
contained in any of the Ui's.

00:09:44.710 --> 00:09:47.170 align:middle line:90%
So this is the big number lemma.

00:09:47.170 --> 00:09:49.540 align:middle line:84%
As a small note,
the largest such R

00:09:49.540 --> 00:09:52.660 align:middle line:84%
such that this property holds
is known as the Lebesgue number.

00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:55.233 align:middle line:84%
And this comes up in a
number of other applications.

00:09:55.233 --> 00:09:57.400 align:middle line:84%
We're just not going to be
talking about them today.

00:09:57.400 --> 00:10:04.240 align:middle line:90%


00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:09.450 align:middle line:84%
So now, we have a way of
refining our open cover

00:10:09.450 --> 00:10:12.510 align:middle line:84%
to refine our open cover to
the set of open balls of all

00:10:12.510 --> 00:10:15.330 align:middle line:84%
the same radius, but
what we need to do

00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:23.590 align:middle line:84%
is get finitely many of these
open balls for our open cover.

00:10:23.590 --> 00:10:28.720 align:middle line:84%
And as such, we're going
to define a new term.

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:34.310 align:middle line:84%
So definition-- the term is
known as totally bounded.

00:10:34.310 --> 00:10:39.180 align:middle line:90%


00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:41.580 align:middle line:84%
A-- or I should
say metric space--

00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:45.660 align:middle line:90%


00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:47.370 align:middle line:90%
let's call it x--

00:10:47.370 --> 00:10:58.990 align:middle line:84%
is totally bounded if, for
all epsilon bigger than 0,

00:10:58.990 --> 00:11:05.980 align:middle line:84%
there exists y1 through yk
such that the union of balls

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:14.240 align:middle line:84%
of radius epsilon around the
finitely many yi's contains x.

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.160 align:middle line:84%
So it's a very similar
picture to this,

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:19.370 align:middle line:84%
only we have all the
same radius R instead

00:11:19.370 --> 00:11:22.220 align:middle line:90%
of our regular open cover.

00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:23.720 align:middle line:84%
And what we're
going to do is show

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.290 align:middle line:84%
that sequential compactness
implies totally bounded.

00:11:27.290 --> 00:11:30.700 align:middle line:90%
This is another lemma of ours.

00:11:30.700 --> 00:11:31.880 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:46.000 align:middle line:84%
Lemma-- sequentially
compact implies totally

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.460 align:middle line:90%
bounded as metric spaces.

00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:52.760 align:middle line:84%
So if your metric space
is sequentially compact,

00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:55.010 align:middle line:84%
then it's going to
be totally bounded.

00:11:55.010 --> 00:11:55.880 align:middle line:90%
Let's prove this.

00:11:55.880 --> 00:12:00.710 align:middle line:84%
Proof-- again, our proof is
going to be by contradiction.

00:12:00.710 --> 00:12:03.410 align:middle line:90%


00:12:03.410 --> 00:12:05.540 align:middle line:84%
Assume that it's
not totally bounded.

00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:10.700 align:middle line:84%
Then for all epsilon bigger
than 0, there exists--

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:18.160 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, I should
say there does not

00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:29.195 align:middle line:84%
exist finitely many epsilon
balls that cover our space.

00:12:29.195 --> 00:12:35.470 align:middle line:90%


00:12:35.470 --> 00:12:37.617 align:middle line:84%
What does it mean to
be not existent, right?

00:12:37.617 --> 00:12:40.200 align:middle line:84%
What does it mean for there to
not exist finitely many epsilon

00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:40.830 align:middle line:90%
balls?

00:12:40.830 --> 00:12:43.320 align:middle line:84%
Well, this means that there
are infinitely many of them.

00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.150 align:middle line:90%


00:12:47.150 --> 00:12:54.375 align:middle line:84%
So it takes epsilon
balls to cover x.

00:12:54.375 --> 00:12:57.305 align:middle line:90%


00:12:57.305 --> 00:12:58.930 align:middle line:84%
Now, what are we
going to do with this?

00:12:58.930 --> 00:13:02.410 align:middle line:84%
We're once again going
to construct a sequence

00:13:02.410 --> 00:13:04.150 align:middle line:90%
and a convergent subsequence.

00:13:04.150 --> 00:13:06.520 align:middle line:84%
But we need to
somehow use the fact

00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:10.900 align:middle line:84%
that it takes infinitely many
epsilon balls to cover x.

00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:14.110 align:middle line:84%
Well, let's just start
by taking any x--

00:13:14.110 --> 00:13:18.130 align:middle line:90%
x1-- be an x.

00:13:18.130 --> 00:13:23.440 align:middle line:84%
And now we want to construct an
x2 such that there is no Cauchy

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.400 align:middle line:90%
subsequence of the xn's.

00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:31.090 align:middle line:84%
So let's take x2 to
be an x not including

00:13:31.090 --> 00:13:34.310 align:middle line:84%
the ball of radius
epsilon around x1.

00:13:34.310 --> 00:13:37.520 align:middle line:90%
Let's continue this process.

00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:43.100 align:middle line:84%
Let xn be in x not
including the union of balls

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:44.930 align:middle line:90%
of radius epsilon around xi.

00:13:44.930 --> 00:13:47.640 align:middle line:90%


00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:49.390 align:middle line:90%
Now, why are we doing this?

00:13:49.390 --> 00:13:51.540 align:middle line:84%
We want to create a
sequence of points

00:13:51.540 --> 00:13:54.240 align:middle line:84%
such that the distance
between every point

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.080 align:middle line:84%
is bigger than epsilon, which
we have immediately from this.

00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.780 align:middle line:84%
The distance from xi to xj
is always bigger than epsilon

00:14:03.780 --> 00:14:06.600 align:middle line:84%
by construction because if
it wasn't less than epsilon,

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.270 align:middle line:84%
then it would be contained
in the ball of radius epsilon

00:14:09.270 --> 00:14:12.860 align:middle line:90%
around one of the other xi's.

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:15.060 align:middle line:90%
So what does this tell us?

00:14:15.060 --> 00:14:19.490 align:middle line:84%
This tells us that our sequence
can never be Cauchy, right?

00:14:19.490 --> 00:14:23.510 align:middle line:84%
If our sequence was Cauchy,
or a subsequence was Cauchy,

00:14:23.510 --> 00:14:26.090 align:middle line:84%
then the distance
between subsequent points

00:14:26.090 --> 00:14:32.570 align:middle line:84%
has to be able to get less than
epsilon, which is not the case.

00:14:32.570 --> 00:14:48.040 align:middle line:84%
So what we notice is that there
are no Cauchy subsequences

00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:49.150 align:middle line:90%
of the sequence xi.

00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:51.950 align:middle line:90%


00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:53.930 align:middle line:84%
And this is going to
be our contradiction.

00:14:53.930 --> 00:14:54.980 align:middle line:90%
Why?

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:57.950 align:middle line:84%
Because this is a sequence in
a sequentially compact metric

00:14:57.950 --> 00:14:58.560 align:middle line:90%
space.

00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:02.510 align:middle line:84%
So we know that there has to
exist a convergent subsequence.

00:15:02.510 --> 00:15:05.570 align:middle line:84%
But being convergent implies
that it's going to be Cauchy.

00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:07.190 align:middle line:84%
We've shown this
on the second day

00:15:07.190 --> 00:15:10.350 align:middle line:84%
in our general theory
of metric spaces.

00:15:10.350 --> 00:15:12.740 align:middle line:84%
So what we've
shown is that there

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:14.780 align:middle line:84%
should be a Cauchy
subsequence, but there

00:15:14.780 --> 00:15:16.850 align:middle line:90%
is no Cauchy subsequence.

00:15:16.850 --> 00:15:19.170 align:middle line:90%
So this is our contradiction.

00:15:19.170 --> 00:15:22.790 align:middle line:90%
And that concludes the proof.

00:15:22.790 --> 00:15:24.280 align:middle line:90%
And these two lemmas--

00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:27.100 align:middle line:84%
the Lebesgue number lemma
and this one right here--

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:29.830 align:middle line:84%
are going to be all we need to
show that sequentially compact

00:15:29.830 --> 00:15:31.900 align:middle line:90%
implies topologically compact.

00:15:31.900 --> 00:15:33.610 align:middle line:90%
So let's start that proof.

00:15:33.610 --> 00:15:48.060 align:middle line:84%
Theorem-- sequentially compact
is the same as topologically

00:15:48.060 --> 00:15:49.575 align:middle line:90%
compact as metric spaces.

00:15:49.575 --> 00:15:56.380 align:middle line:90%


00:15:56.380 --> 00:15:58.360 align:middle line:90%
So let's start the proof.

00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:10.050 align:middle line:84%
Proof-- assume
sequentially compact,

00:16:10.050 --> 00:16:18.400 align:middle line:84%
and let Ui be an open cover
of the metric space x.

00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:23.010 align:middle line:90%


00:16:23.010 --> 00:16:26.100 align:middle line:84%
What we then know by the
Lebesgue number lemma is that

00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:29.820 align:middle line:84%
there exists an R bigger than 0
such that balls of radius R are

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:32.010 align:middle line:90%
contained in one of the Ui's.

00:16:32.010 --> 00:16:40.490 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, by the
Lebesgue number lemma,

00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:45.160 align:middle line:84%
there exists an R bigger
than 0 such that balls

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:50.270 align:middle line:84%
of radius all around x are
contained in Ui for some i.

00:16:50.270 --> 00:16:53.620 align:middle line:90%


00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:58.150 align:middle line:84%
I.e. for every x, there exists
some i such that this is true.

00:16:58.150 --> 00:17:02.920 align:middle line:84%
And now, how do we go from this
to finitely many of these Ui's?

00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:04.869 align:middle line:84%
Well, here we use
the following lemma.

00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:06.680 align:middle line:84%
We know that it's
totally bounded.

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.660 align:middle line:84%
So given this R
bigger than 0, let R

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:15.609 align:middle line:84%
be equal to epsilon and the
definition of totally bounded.

00:17:15.609 --> 00:17:27.750 align:middle line:84%
And then we know that there
exists finitely many y1

00:17:27.750 --> 00:17:36.700 align:middle line:84%
through yk such that x is
contained in balls of radius

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:41.860 align:middle line:84%
in the union of balls
of radius R around yi

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:45.010 align:middle line:90%
from i equals 1 to k.

00:17:45.010 --> 00:17:51.760 align:middle line:84%
But we want to go from
this to a finite subcover.

00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:55.690 align:middle line:84%
But what we notice is that each
of these balls of radius R is

00:17:55.690 --> 00:17:58.780 align:middle line:90%
contained in one of the Ui's.

00:17:58.780 --> 00:18:02.380 align:middle line:84%
So right now, this is
going to be contained

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:06.700 align:middle line:84%
in the union of Uij,
where ij is the one such

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:12.430 align:middle line:84%
that the balls of radius R
around yi is contained in Uij.

00:18:12.430 --> 00:18:15.990 align:middle line:90%


00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:19.830 align:middle line:84%
And then we're done with the
forward direction, right?

00:18:19.830 --> 00:18:21.570 align:middle line:84%
Because we've gone
from an open cover

00:18:21.570 --> 00:18:24.000 align:middle line:84%
of our sequentially
compact metric space

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.470 align:middle line:90%
and reached a finite subcover.

00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:28.200 align:middle line:90%


00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.810 align:middle line:84%
So that shows that
sequentially compact

00:18:30.810 --> 00:18:33.590 align:middle line:90%
implies topologically compact.

00:18:33.590 --> 00:18:37.670 align:middle line:84%
The other direction is
going to be mildly harder,

00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:43.820 align:middle line:84%
but it's still going to
be essentially what we've

00:18:43.820 --> 00:18:45.290 align:middle line:90%
been doing this entire time.

00:18:45.290 --> 00:18:47.990 align:middle line:84%
We're going to assume that
it's not sequentially compact,

00:18:47.990 --> 00:18:51.320 align:middle line:84%
construct a sequence, and take
the convergent subsequence,

00:18:51.320 --> 00:18:54.600 align:middle line:84%
and reach a
contradiction somehow.

00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:55.200 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.155 align:middle line:84%
So suppose
topologically compact--

00:18:59.155 --> 00:19:09.130 align:middle line:90%


00:19:09.130 --> 00:19:10.970 align:middle line:90%
oh, I'm holding it backwards.

00:19:10.970 --> 00:19:11.960 align:middle line:90%
Let me rewrite this.

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.460 align:middle line:90%
Compact.

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:18.250 align:middle line:90%


00:19:18.250 --> 00:19:21.460 align:middle line:84%
And let's suppose for the
sake of contradiction--

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:28.640 align:middle line:84%
assume for the sake
of contradiction--

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.440 align:middle line:90%
we're not sequentially compact.

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:35.820 align:middle line:90%


00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:39.460 align:middle line:90%
What we're going to do is--

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:41.080 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, let me
first state what

00:19:41.080 --> 00:19:43.300 align:middle line:84%
does it mean to be not
sequentially compact?

00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:49.060 align:middle line:84%
Then there exists
some sequence--

00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:52.780 align:middle line:90%
let's call it xn, of course--

00:19:52.780 --> 00:19:55.480 align:middle line:90%
with no convergent subsequence.

00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:00.600 align:middle line:90%


00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:04.620 align:middle line:84%
Our goal is to go from this
to an open cover of our space

00:20:04.620 --> 00:20:06.630 align:middle line:84%
and show that there
is no finite subcover

00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:08.940 align:middle line:90%
to reach our contradiction.

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:10.270 align:middle line:90%
Well, how do we do that?

00:20:10.270 --> 00:20:12.240 align:middle line:84%
Well first, we need
to note some facts

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.760 align:middle line:90%
about convergent subsequences.

00:20:14.760 --> 00:20:23.640 align:middle line:90%
Firstly, none of the xi's--

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:25.390 align:middle line:84%
actually, I guess I
shouldn't say firstly.

00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:28.330 align:middle line:84%
Just note that
none of the xi can

00:20:28.330 --> 00:20:29.590 align:middle line:90%
appear infinitely many times.

00:20:29.590 --> 00:20:38.405 align:middle line:90%


00:20:38.405 --> 00:20:39.030 align:middle line:90%
Actually, yeah.

00:20:39.030 --> 00:20:40.920 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to call this firstly.

00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.460 align:middle line:90%
Why is this true?

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:45.625 align:middle line:84%
Well, if any of the xi's
appeared infinitely many times,

00:20:45.625 --> 00:20:47.250 align:middle line:84%
then that would mean
that we could just

00:20:47.250 --> 00:20:50.550 align:middle line:84%
take a very trivial
subsequence of xi's, and that

00:20:50.550 --> 00:20:53.112 align:middle line:90%
would converge to xi.

00:20:53.112 --> 00:20:55.570 align:middle line:84%
So we know that none of them
appears infinitely many times.

00:20:55.570 --> 00:20:57.028 align:middle line:84%
So we can just
assume that each one

00:20:57.028 --> 00:20:59.100 align:middle line:90%
appears finitely many times.

00:20:59.100 --> 00:21:02.730 align:middle line:84%
But furthermore, we know
that for all epsilon bigger--

00:21:02.730 --> 00:21:05.100 align:middle line:84%
nope, that's not
what I meant to say.

00:21:05.100 --> 00:21:08.460 align:middle line:84%
We know that there exists
an epsilon n bigger

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:14.910 align:middle line:84%
than 0 such that the ball of
radius epsilon n around xn

00:21:14.910 --> 00:21:20.770 align:middle line:84%
is simply the set xn, where
here I mean the single point xn.

00:21:20.770 --> 00:21:27.480 align:middle line:84%
So I guess to be extra clear,
I'll write this as xj and xj.

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.900 align:middle line:90%
Why is this true?

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:30.960 align:middle line:84%
Well, suppose for the
sake of contradiction

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.450 align:middle line:84%
that for every
epsilon bigger than 0,

00:21:33.450 --> 00:21:39.480 align:middle line:84%
there exists some xi in a ball
of radius epsilon around xj.

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.640 align:middle line:84%
Well then what
that would tell us

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.850 align:middle line:84%
is that we could take a
convergent subsequence, which

00:21:44.850 --> 00:21:47.520 align:middle line:90%
will converge to xj.

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.330 align:middle line:84%
We just choose closer
and closer points to xj.

00:21:51.330 --> 00:21:53.640 align:middle line:84%
So we know that there must
exist some epsilon n such

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.720 align:middle line:90%
that this is the case.

00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.430 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to use this
to create our open cover.

00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:04.560 align:middle line:84%
We're going to let these
be the open cover of uj.

00:22:04.560 --> 00:22:09.810 align:middle line:90%
So let's call them ui, or uj's.

00:22:09.810 --> 00:22:10.620 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:22:10.620 --> 00:22:13.300 align:middle line:90%
From j equals 1 to infinity.

00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:15.090 align:middle line:84%
But this isn't
quite an open cover.

00:22:15.090 --> 00:22:17.350 align:middle line:84%
We don't know that we've
fully covered x yet.

00:22:17.350 --> 00:22:24.240 align:middle line:84%
So what we're going
to do is let U0

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:30.600 align:middle line:84%
be equal to x not including any
of the terms in our sequence.

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:35.500 align:middle line:90%


00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.570 align:middle line:90%
Now, why does this make sense?

00:22:37.570 --> 00:22:40.630 align:middle line:84%
Or sorry, why is
this an open set?

00:22:40.630 --> 00:22:44.450 align:middle line:84%
Well, we know that the
complement of this set

00:22:44.450 --> 00:22:46.400 align:middle line:84%
contains all of its
limit points, which

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.370 align:middle line:84%
means that it's going to
be closed, as you're shown

00:22:49.370 --> 00:22:51.437 align:middle line:90%
on your second problem set.

00:22:51.437 --> 00:22:53.270 align:middle line:84%
So what this tells us
is that the complement

00:22:53.270 --> 00:22:55.460 align:middle line:84%
of the complement is
therefore going to be open.

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:59.180 align:middle line:90%
So U0 is open.

00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:02.150 align:middle line:84%
Therefore, we've reached an open
cover of our metric space x.

00:23:02.150 --> 00:23:06.920 align:middle line:84%
We have that x is contained--
oh, wrong direction--

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:12.650 align:middle line:84%
contained in U0 union the
infinite union of ui's or uj's.

00:23:12.650 --> 00:23:17.130 align:middle line:90%
j equals 1 to infinity.

00:23:17.130 --> 00:23:21.320 align:middle line:84%
Now, from here we want to
reach a finite subcover,

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:32.650 align:middle line:84%
but notice that every
finite subcover is

00:23:32.650 --> 00:23:42.650 align:middle line:84%
going to be emitting
infinitely many points, right?

00:23:42.650 --> 00:23:45.380 align:middle line:84%
Because every finite subcover
is going to have finitely many

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:47.540 align:middle line:90%
of these uj's.

00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:52.575 align:middle line:84%
But what that tells you is
that infinitely many of them--

00:23:52.575 --> 00:23:54.950 align:middle line:84%
sorry, let me double-check
what I want to be saying here.

00:23:54.950 --> 00:23:58.700 align:middle line:90%


00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.330 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:23:59.330 --> 00:24:02.150 align:middle line:84%
Because it's going to emit
infinitely many points,

00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:05.120 align:middle line:90%
this tells us that x--

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:16.473 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, there is
no finite subcover,

00:24:16.473 --> 00:24:18.140 align:middle line:84%
which is our contradiction
because we're

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:20.570 align:middle line:90%
assuming topologically compact.

00:24:20.570 --> 00:24:23.390 align:middle line:84%
So we've shown that
topologically compact implies

00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:24.620 align:middle line:90%
sequentially compact.

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:27.980 align:middle line:84%
And that concludes the other
direction of our proof.

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:30.510 align:middle line:90%
And thus, we're done.

00:24:30.510 --> 00:24:33.650 align:middle line:84%
So this is
essentially what we've

00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:36.020 align:middle line:84%
set off to do from the very
beginning, which is very

00:24:36.020 --> 00:24:39.790 align:middle line:90%
motivated by metric spaces.

00:24:39.790 --> 00:24:41.740 align:middle line:84%
But as you may
guess from the fact

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:47.753 align:middle line:84%
that sequentially compact
implies totally bounded,

00:24:47.753 --> 00:24:50.170 align:middle line:84%
there's quite a bit more that
we can actually be assuming.

00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:53.780 align:middle line:90%


00:24:53.780 --> 00:24:56.450 align:middle line:84%
So what we're going to
show for the rest of today

00:24:56.450 --> 00:24:59.750 align:middle line:84%
is two more equivalent
definitions of compactness

00:24:59.750 --> 00:25:01.280 align:middle line:90%
on a metric space.

00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:04.670 align:middle line:84%
And I'll again reiterate these
are for a metric space, not

00:25:04.670 --> 00:25:10.040 align:middle line:84%
inherently a topological space,
as you might see in 18901.

00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:13.310 align:middle line:84%
But this is the definition
of compactness or equivalent

00:25:13.310 --> 00:25:15.950 align:middle line:84%
definitions of compactness
for a metric space.

00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:19.110 align:middle line:90%


00:25:19.110 --> 00:25:22.550 align:middle line:84%
But before I do that, I want
to first state some lemmas

00:25:22.550 --> 00:25:24.530 align:middle line:84%
or some corollaries
of these facts

00:25:24.530 --> 00:25:28.250 align:middle line:84%
that we've shown so far because
they're deeply important.

00:25:28.250 --> 00:25:30.362 align:middle line:84%
Compactness has some
very deep results.

00:25:30.362 --> 00:25:31.820 align:middle line:84%
And I know that
this is going to be

00:25:31.820 --> 00:25:33.450 align:middle line:90%
a very proof-intensive class.

00:25:33.450 --> 00:25:36.237 align:middle line:84%
So I want to first start
by stating some facts

00:25:36.237 --> 00:25:37.820 align:middle line:84%
that are a little
bit easier to prove,

00:25:37.820 --> 00:25:40.460 align:middle line:90%
but also mildly intuitive.

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:47.610 align:middle line:84%
So first, recall a
function f from x to y,

00:25:47.610 --> 00:25:58.190 align:middle line:84%
where x and y are metric spaces,
is continuous if and only

00:25:58.190 --> 00:26:09.185 align:middle line:84%
if, for every u open in y,
f inverse of u is open in x.

00:26:09.185 --> 00:26:12.020 align:middle line:90%


00:26:12.020 --> 00:26:13.770 align:middle line:84%
Sorry, I know I didn't
fully write it out,

00:26:13.770 --> 00:26:16.140 align:middle line:84%
but I at least said it
verbally. f inverse of you

00:26:16.140 --> 00:26:17.580 align:middle line:90%
is going to be open in x.

00:26:17.580 --> 00:26:19.800 align:middle line:84%
This is the definition
of continuous.

00:26:19.800 --> 00:26:26.110 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to do
is therefore show lemma.

00:26:26.110 --> 00:26:33.850 align:middle line:84%
If k is a compact subset of x,
where here the double subsets

00:26:33.850 --> 00:26:36.930 align:middle line:90%
implies compact--

00:26:36.930 --> 00:26:39.030 align:middle line:90%
so recall that notation--

00:26:39.030 --> 00:26:46.830 align:middle line:84%
we're going to note that
f of k is compact in y.

00:26:46.830 --> 00:26:51.570 align:middle line:84%
Over here f is a
continuous map from x to y.

00:26:51.570 --> 00:26:55.572 align:middle line:90%


00:26:55.572 --> 00:26:57.280 align:middle line:84%
So this is our first
statement that we're

00:26:57.280 --> 00:26:59.753 align:middle line:90%
going to prove today.

00:26:59.753 --> 00:27:01.420 align:middle line:84%
Or sorry, the first
statement that we're

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:04.990 align:middle line:90%
going to prove right now.

00:27:04.990 --> 00:27:11.220 align:middle line:84%
Proof-- well, we want to somehow
reach an open cover of k.

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:30.340 align:middle line:84%
So let Ui be an open
cover of f of k in y.

00:27:30.340 --> 00:27:32.110 align:middle line:90%
Then what do we know?

00:27:32.110 --> 00:27:39.860 align:middle line:84%
Well, what this will imply
is that f inverse of Ui

00:27:39.860 --> 00:27:41.390 align:middle line:90%
will be a finite--

00:27:41.390 --> 00:27:51.770 align:middle line:84%
sorry, not finite-- will
be an open cover of k.

00:27:51.770 --> 00:27:53.450 align:middle line:84%
The fact that the
inverse images cover

00:27:53.450 --> 00:27:56.120 align:middle line:84%
k is by the very
definition of f of k,

00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:58.070 align:middle line:84%
but how do we know
that they're open?

00:27:58.070 --> 00:28:00.300 align:middle line:84%
Well, this is from the
fact that it's continuous.

00:28:00.300 --> 00:28:04.070 align:middle line:84%
These are the inverse
images of open sets.

00:28:04.070 --> 00:28:09.110 align:middle line:84%
And so what we know is that we
can reach a finite subcover--

00:28:09.110 --> 00:28:20.460 align:middle line:84%
a finite subcover given
by f inverse Ui from,

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:24.030 align:middle line:90%
let's say, i equals 1 to k.

00:28:24.030 --> 00:28:27.000 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to do
is map this back to f of k.

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:37.520 align:middle line:84%
Notice that then f
of f inverse of Ui

00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:43.760 align:middle line:84%
equals Ui, which
is therefore going

00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:46.040 align:middle line:90%
to give us our open-- sorry.

00:28:46.040 --> 00:28:48.600 align:middle line:90%
How should I say this?

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:49.590 align:middle line:90%
How should I say this?

00:28:49.590 --> 00:28:53.010 align:middle line:84%
This is not necessarily
directly true.

00:28:53.010 --> 00:29:00.450 align:middle line:84%
What I mean to say is that
then Ui from i equals 1 to k

00:29:00.450 --> 00:29:09.050 align:middle line:90%
is open cover of f of k.

00:29:09.050 --> 00:29:10.560 align:middle line:90%
How do we know this?

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:13.010 align:middle line:84%
Well, we know that the
Ui's are such that--

00:29:13.010 --> 00:29:17.060 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, the f inverse
of Ui's cover k.

00:29:17.060 --> 00:29:21.200 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, the images
of them must cover f of k.

00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:23.990 align:middle line:84%
And so we've gone from
an open cover of f of k

00:29:23.990 --> 00:29:28.400 align:middle line:84%
to a finite subcover, which
shows that it's compact in y.

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:29.660 align:middle line:90%
So that is our proof.

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:32.150 align:middle line:84%
That shows that the
image of compact sets

00:29:32.150 --> 00:29:36.560 align:middle line:84%
is going to be compact
under continuity.

00:29:36.560 --> 00:29:39.230 align:middle line:84%
And using this and the fact that
we have sequential compactness

00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:43.010 align:middle line:84%
is going to allow us to state
some very helpful lemmas.

00:29:43.010 --> 00:29:47.540 align:middle line:90%
So lemma-- or sorry, not lemma--

00:29:47.540 --> 00:29:48.220 align:middle line:90%
corollary.

00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:53.430 align:middle line:90%


00:29:53.430 --> 00:30:03.330 align:middle line:84%
On that f from x to, let's say,
the real numbers, continuous

00:30:03.330 --> 00:30:21.360 align:middle line:84%
has a max and a min achieved
on compact sets, by which I

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:25.590 align:middle line:84%
mean for every compact subset
of x, the image of it to R

00:30:25.590 --> 00:30:28.200 align:middle line:84%
is going to have a maximum
and a minimum achieved.

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:31.540 align:middle line:84%
And the proof is very
short at this point.

00:30:31.540 --> 00:30:35.310 align:middle line:84%
We know that f of
k is going to be

00:30:35.310 --> 00:30:37.858 align:middle line:84%
compact in R, which
implies that it's

00:30:37.858 --> 00:30:39.150 align:middle line:90%
going to be closed and bounded.

00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:44.610 align:middle line:90%


00:30:44.610 --> 00:30:46.740 align:middle line:84%
Closed and bounded,
which you can

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:48.960 align:middle line:84%
think of as sequentially
compact in the same way,

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.230 align:middle line:84%
implies that we can find a
maximum and a minimum of f

00:30:52.230 --> 00:30:53.550 align:middle line:90%
of k.

00:30:53.550 --> 00:30:56.020 align:middle line:84%
This is essentially just
the extreme value theorem.

00:30:56.020 --> 00:30:58.770 align:middle line:84%
But it's much more general
than the extreme value theorem.

00:30:58.770 --> 00:31:00.420 align:middle line:84%
Before, the extreme
value theorem

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:03.450 align:middle line:84%
was a map from the real numbers,
or at least a compact subset,

00:31:03.450 --> 00:31:06.070 align:middle line:84%
like a to b, to
the real numbers.

00:31:06.070 --> 00:31:09.120 align:middle line:84%
Now, all of a sudden, we have
the extreme value theorem

00:31:09.120 --> 00:31:13.260 align:middle line:90%
for metric spaces.

00:31:13.260 --> 00:31:17.080 align:middle line:90%
This fact is extremely helpful.

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:20.430 align:middle line:84%
I cannot iterate how important
it's going to be in the long

00:31:20.430 --> 00:31:22.290 align:middle line:84%
term if you keep taking
analysis courses,

00:31:22.290 --> 00:31:25.680 align:middle line:84%
but the fact that images of
compact sets are going to be

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:30.510 align:middle line:84%
compact is very, very helpful,
and helps us with finding

00:31:30.510 --> 00:31:31.860 align:middle line:90%
a maximum and a minimum.

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:34.590 align:middle line:84%
In fact, one other way
to think of this theorem

00:31:34.590 --> 00:31:37.140 align:middle line:84%
is just to take a
sequence that converges

00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:39.540 align:middle line:84%
to the maximum and
converges to the minimum.

00:31:39.540 --> 00:31:42.098 align:middle line:84%
And there has to be a convergent
subsequence of that sequence

00:31:42.098 --> 00:31:43.515 align:middle line:84%
because it's
sequentially compact.

00:31:43.515 --> 00:31:46.120 align:middle line:90%


00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:50.610 align:middle line:84%
Besides this, I
also want to note--

00:31:50.610 --> 00:32:07.230 align:middle line:84%
corollary-- maps f
given x is compact,

00:32:07.230 --> 00:32:16.800 align:middle line:84%
f from x to R continuous
is going to be bounded.

00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:20.800 align:middle line:90%


00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:23.530 align:middle line:84%
This is the second
corollary, right?

00:32:23.530 --> 00:32:25.300 align:middle line:84%
Before, we were
using closedness.

00:32:25.300 --> 00:32:27.440 align:middle line:84%
Right now, we're
using boundedness.

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.820 align:middle line:84%
So this is very
helpful just in order

00:32:30.820 --> 00:32:34.190 align:middle line:84%
to be able to conceptualize
what's happening.

00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:38.560 align:middle line:84%
So the proof is already
complete by before.

00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:42.040 align:middle line:84%
So I will stop there
for the moment being.

00:32:42.040 --> 00:32:43.540 align:middle line:84%
Now, we have one
more theorem that I

00:32:43.540 --> 00:32:49.240 align:middle line:84%
want to show that will
have some implications that

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:50.840 align:middle line:90%
will be conceptually helpful.

00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:53.840 align:middle line:84%
But before I do that, I'm
going to drink some water.

00:32:53.840 --> 00:32:57.520 align:middle line:84%
The next theorem is known as
Cantor's intersection theorem.

00:32:57.520 --> 00:33:01.420 align:middle line:84%
It's one that tells us
things about nested sequences

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:03.850 align:middle line:90%
of compact sets.

00:33:03.850 --> 00:33:06.020 align:middle line:90%
And it's helpful conceptually.

00:33:06.020 --> 00:33:07.790 align:middle line:90%
It's used all the time.

00:33:07.790 --> 00:33:10.192 align:middle line:84%
In fact, if you were to take
a complex analysis class,

00:33:10.192 --> 00:33:11.650 align:middle line:84%
it's one of the
first things that's

00:33:11.650 --> 00:33:16.900 align:middle line:84%
used to show convergence
of line integrals

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:20.460 align:middle line:90%
for holomorphic functions.

00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:21.830 align:middle line:90%
So what's the statement?

00:33:21.830 --> 00:33:25.580 align:middle line:90%


00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:29.275 align:middle line:84%
Theorem-- this is known as
Cantor's intersection theorem.

00:33:29.275 --> 00:33:40.660 align:middle line:90%


00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:49.830 align:middle line:84%
So given K1 containing
K2 containing

00:33:49.830 --> 00:33:58.290 align:middle line:84%
K3, so on and so forth,
each compact, each nonempty

00:33:58.290 --> 00:33:58.980 align:middle line:90%
and compact--

00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:03.400 align:middle line:90%


00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:07.810 align:middle line:84%
by compact, I mean topologically
or sequentially, which we know.

00:34:07.810 --> 00:34:11.300 align:middle line:90%
That's a simple fact that--

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:13.130 align:middle line:90%
let me reiterate.

00:34:13.130 --> 00:34:17.000 align:middle line:84%
Buy nonempty and compact, I mean
sequentially or topologically

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.400 align:middle line:84%
because they're the
equivalent on a metric space.

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.860 align:middle line:84%
And here I'm assuming
that the compact subsets

00:34:21.860 --> 00:34:23.180 align:middle line:90%
are in a metric space.

00:34:23.180 --> 00:34:25.889 align:middle line:90%


00:34:25.889 --> 00:34:32.480 align:middle line:84%
Then the intersection
of the ki's from i

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:37.000 align:middle line:84%
equals 1 to infinity
is nonempty.

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.830 align:middle line:90%
How do we prove this?

00:34:39.830 --> 00:34:44.179 align:middle line:84%
Well, we prove this by taking
a sequence of terms in ki's.

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:52.300 align:middle line:84%
So proof-- let wi
be in ki for all i.

00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.197 align:middle line:84%
And we know that there
exists such an xi

00:34:54.197 --> 00:34:55.239 align:middle line:90%
because they're nonempty.

00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:58.930 align:middle line:84%
So right off the bat, we're
using that hypothesis.

00:34:58.930 --> 00:35:03.380 align:middle line:84%
And what we want to note
is then that there exists--

00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:06.260 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, let's
focus on K1 for now.

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:12.875 align:middle line:90%
Notice xi is in K1 for all i.

00:35:12.875 --> 00:35:15.750 align:middle line:90%


00:35:15.750 --> 00:35:18.060 align:middle line:84%
This follows from the fact
that it's a nested sequence

00:35:18.060 --> 00:35:20.430 align:middle line:90%
of compact sets.

00:35:20.430 --> 00:35:31.780 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, there exists
a convergent subsequence xnk

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:37.300 align:middle line:90%
converging to sum a in K1.

00:35:37.300 --> 00:35:39.950 align:middle line:84%
And what you can
continue to show

00:35:39.950 --> 00:35:42.110 align:middle line:84%
is that it's going to
continue to convergence

00:35:42.110 --> 00:35:45.300 align:middle line:90%
into a in every ki.

00:35:45.300 --> 00:36:04.030 align:middle line:84%
So secondly, notice-- xi
from i equal to 2 to infinity

00:36:04.030 --> 00:36:09.580 align:middle line:84%
as opposed to including 1 is
going to be a subset of K2.

00:36:09.580 --> 00:36:12.220 align:middle line:84%
And therefore, there exists
a convergent subsequence.

00:36:12.220 --> 00:36:15.470 align:middle line:84%
And the convergent subsequence
has a unique limit point,

00:36:15.470 --> 00:36:15.970 align:middle line:90%
right?

00:36:15.970 --> 00:36:17.740 align:middle line:84%
This is what we said
on the second day.

00:36:17.740 --> 00:36:21.190 align:middle line:84%
Convergent sequences have
equivalent or have the same--

00:36:21.190 --> 00:36:26.282 align:middle line:90%


00:36:26.282 --> 00:36:27.365 align:middle line:90%
how do I want to say this?

00:36:27.365 --> 00:36:30.160 align:middle line:90%


00:36:30.160 --> 00:36:31.730 align:middle line:90%
Have the same limit points.

00:36:31.730 --> 00:36:35.230 align:middle line:90%
So therefore, a will be in K2.

00:36:35.230 --> 00:36:37.960 align:middle line:84%
And we can continue this
process over and over again,

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.620 align:middle line:84%
ending up with a single point
at least in all of the ki's.

00:36:42.620 --> 00:36:45.940 align:middle line:90%
So this concludes our proof.

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:48.700 align:middle line:84%
And this is used in
complex analysis,

00:36:48.700 --> 00:36:53.650 align:middle line:84%
as I stated, to go from
the sequence of triangles,

00:36:53.650 --> 00:36:54.150 align:middle line:90%
let's say.

00:36:54.150 --> 00:36:56.372 align:middle line:90%


00:36:56.372 --> 00:36:58.330 align:middle line:84%
So let's say we have the
sequence of triangles,

00:36:58.330 --> 00:37:01.870 align:middle line:84%
and we know that there exists
a point in every one of them.

00:37:01.870 --> 00:37:04.120 align:middle line:84%
We can keep reiterating
this pattern

00:37:04.120 --> 00:37:06.550 align:middle line:84%
and end up with a
point in the limit.

00:37:06.550 --> 00:37:09.420 align:middle line:90%


00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:12.000 align:middle line:84%
So we know that the
limits of the intersection

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.815 align:middle line:90%
is going to be nonempty.

00:37:13.815 --> 00:37:17.230 align:middle line:84%
So that's how it's used
in complex analysis.

00:37:17.230 --> 00:37:20.840 align:middle line:84%
Of course, we can't
discuss this more fully

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.630 align:middle line:84%
now because it requires
a discussion that

00:37:23.630 --> 00:37:26.980 align:middle line:84%
takes numerous days of
complex analysis to prove.

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:30.000 align:middle line:84%
But if you take
complex analysis,

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.090 align:middle line:84%
this will be one of the
first things you see.

00:37:33.090 --> 00:37:34.728 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:37:34.728 --> 00:37:36.770 align:middle line:84%
So what are we going to
do with this new theorem?

00:37:36.770 --> 00:37:39.830 align:middle line:84%
Well, we're going to
define a new property.

00:37:39.830 --> 00:37:45.685 align:middle line:84%
Definition-- a collection
of closed sets--

00:37:45.685 --> 00:37:51.060 align:middle line:90%


00:37:51.060 --> 00:37:53.385 align:middle line:84%
notice here that I'm assuming
closed and not compact--

00:37:53.385 --> 00:37:56.600 align:middle line:90%


00:37:56.600 --> 00:38:20.530 align:middle line:84%
is or has the finite
intersection property

00:38:20.530 --> 00:38:25.980 align:middle line:90%
if every finite subsection--

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:30.930 align:middle line:90%


00:38:30.930 --> 00:38:35.590 align:middle line:84%
i.e. if I take finitely
many of the closed sets--

00:38:35.590 --> 00:38:39.520 align:middle line:84%
we're going to assume that it
has nonempty n intersection.

00:38:39.520 --> 00:38:47.280 align:middle line:90%


00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:48.750 align:middle line:84%
We know that this
is already going

00:38:48.750 --> 00:38:50.460 align:middle line:84%
to be true for
compact sets because

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:52.552 align:middle line:84%
the infinite intersection
of them is nonempty.

00:38:52.552 --> 00:38:54.510 align:middle line:84%
But this statement is a
little bit more general

00:38:54.510 --> 00:38:57.282 align:middle line:84%
in that we're only assuming
that it's going to be closed.

00:38:57.282 --> 00:38:59.490 align:middle line:84%
And so we're assuming that
every finite subcollection

00:38:59.490 --> 00:39:03.647 align:middle line:90%
has a nonempty intersection.

00:39:03.647 --> 00:39:05.980 align:middle line:84%
And so what we're going to
show is that in fact, there's

00:39:05.980 --> 00:39:08.350 align:middle line:84%
a relationship between
the finite intersection

00:39:08.350 --> 00:39:12.400 align:middle line:84%
property and topologically
and sequentially compact.

00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.470 align:middle line:84%
That's going to be our
huge theorem for today.

00:39:14.470 --> 00:39:18.310 align:middle line:84%
It's going to take a
little bit to prove,

00:39:18.310 --> 00:39:21.670 align:middle line:84%
but will be deeply
powerful once we're done.

00:39:21.670 --> 00:39:24.770 align:middle line:90%


00:39:24.770 --> 00:39:28.310 align:middle line:84%
Our theorem is that the
following are equivalent.

00:39:28.310 --> 00:39:31.600 align:middle line:90%


00:39:31.600 --> 00:39:36.190 align:middle line:84%
The following are equivalent,
which I'll write out more fully

00:39:36.190 --> 00:39:49.050 align:middle line:84%
in case you haven't seen
this abbreviation before

00:39:49.050 --> 00:39:50.630 align:middle line:90%
on a metric space x.

00:39:50.630 --> 00:39:59.560 align:middle line:90%


00:39:59.560 --> 00:40:05.045 align:middle line:90%
One, x is topologically compact.

00:40:05.045 --> 00:40:08.180 align:middle line:90%


00:40:08.180 --> 00:40:09.110 align:middle line:90%
Topologically.

00:40:09.110 --> 00:40:18.620 align:middle line:90%


00:40:18.620 --> 00:40:25.630 align:middle line:84%
Two, x is sequentially
compact, which makes sense.

00:40:25.630 --> 00:40:27.840 align:middle line:84%
We've already shown
this implication,

00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:31.960 align:middle line:84%
but we're going to show two
more properties right now.

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:35.200 align:middle line:90%
Three, x is totally bounded.

00:40:35.200 --> 00:40:39.450 align:middle line:90%


00:40:39.450 --> 00:40:41.450 align:middle line:84%
We've already shown
sequentially compact implies

00:40:41.450 --> 00:40:44.690 align:middle line:84%
totally bounded, but there's one
more thing we need to include.

00:40:44.690 --> 00:40:46.565 align:middle line:84%
We need to include that
it's Cauchy complete.

00:40:46.565 --> 00:40:53.460 align:middle line:90%


00:40:53.460 --> 00:40:56.840 align:middle line:84%
And finally, our
fourth property is

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:59.147 align:middle line:84%
going to be the following,
which I'll state out clearly

00:40:59.147 --> 00:41:00.980 align:middle line:84%
because it's one of the
more confusing ones.

00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:04.500 align:middle line:90%


00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:17.580 align:middle line:84%
Every collection of closed
sets of closed subsets

00:41:17.580 --> 00:41:36.730 align:middle line:84%
of x with the finite
intersection property

00:41:36.730 --> 00:41:38.680 align:middle line:90%
has nonempty intersection.

00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:49.650 align:middle line:90%


00:41:49.650 --> 00:41:51.810 align:middle line:84%
Here the difference
is that we know

00:41:51.810 --> 00:41:55.020 align:middle line:84%
that every finite subcollection
has nonempty intersection,

00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.940 align:middle line:84%
but what this theorem
is telling you

00:41:56.940 --> 00:42:00.180 align:middle line:84%
is that the intersection of
all of the closed subsets,

00:42:00.180 --> 00:42:02.310 align:middle line:84%
if they have the finite
intersection property,

00:42:02.310 --> 00:42:04.050 align:middle line:90%
is also going to be nonempty.

00:42:04.050 --> 00:42:06.720 align:middle line:90%


00:42:06.720 --> 00:42:10.170 align:middle line:84%
Now, what we're going to do
is show that 1 is true if only

00:42:10.170 --> 00:42:11.145 align:middle line:90%
if 4 is true.

00:42:11.145 --> 00:42:14.375 align:middle line:90%


00:42:14.375 --> 00:42:15.750 align:middle line:84%
Let me write this
out more fully.

00:42:15.750 --> 00:42:19.650 align:middle line:84%
We've already shown that 1 is
true if an only if 2 is true.

00:42:19.650 --> 00:42:22.770 align:middle line:84%
What we're now going to do
is show that 1 is true if

00:42:22.770 --> 00:42:28.650 align:middle line:84%
and only if 4 is true, and then
show that 2 is true if and only

00:42:28.650 --> 00:42:30.870 align:middle line:84%
if 3 is true because we've
already shown sequentially

00:42:30.870 --> 00:42:33.100 align:middle line:90%
compact implies totally bounded.

00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:36.405 align:middle line:84%
So we would just have to
show Cauchy completeness.

00:42:36.405 --> 00:42:38.280 align:middle line:84%
And then that's going
to be the end of today.

00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:41.160 align:middle line:84%
We're going to show these four
properties of compact sets,

00:42:41.160 --> 00:42:45.940 align:middle line:84%
and then we're going to
end today's discussion.

00:42:45.940 --> 00:42:49.635 align:middle line:84%
So let's start with showing that
1 is true implies 4 is true.

00:42:49.635 --> 00:43:01.820 align:middle line:90%


00:43:01.820 --> 00:43:05.080 align:middle line:84%
So the proof is going
to start with supposing,

00:43:05.080 --> 00:43:07.600 align:middle line:84%
for the sake of
contradiction, there exists

00:43:07.600 --> 00:43:10.060 align:middle line:84%
a collection of closed sets
with the finite intersection

00:43:10.060 --> 00:43:13.060 align:middle line:84%
property, but with
empty intersection.

00:43:13.060 --> 00:43:21.730 align:middle line:90%
So suppose there exists ci--

00:43:21.730 --> 00:43:24.040 align:middle line:90%
i equals 1 to infinity--

00:43:24.040 --> 00:43:35.930 align:middle line:84%
closed with the finite
intersection property,

00:43:35.930 --> 00:43:38.390 align:middle line:84%
i.e. intersection of
finite subcollections

00:43:38.390 --> 00:43:48.320 align:middle line:84%
is going to be nonempty, and the
intersection of all the ci's is

00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:49.250 align:middle line:90%
empty.

00:43:49.250 --> 00:43:52.645 align:middle line:84%
That's going to be our
assumption for contradiction.

00:43:52.645 --> 00:43:54.770 align:middle line:84%
Well, knowing that the
intersection of these closed

00:43:54.770 --> 00:43:56.540 align:middle line:84%
sets is going to be
empty, what do we

00:43:56.540 --> 00:43:58.070 align:middle line:90%
know about the complements?

00:43:58.070 --> 00:44:01.340 align:middle line:84%
Well, then we know that x, which
is the complement of the empty

00:44:01.340 --> 00:44:04.850 align:middle line:84%
set, is going to be the
complement of the intersection

00:44:04.850 --> 00:44:07.130 align:middle line:90%
of ci's.

00:44:07.130 --> 00:44:10.010 align:middle line:84%
But then we know by De Morgan's
laws, which we introduced

00:44:10.010 --> 00:44:13.290 align:middle line:84%
on the second day
in general theory,

00:44:13.290 --> 00:44:17.540 align:middle line:84%
it's going to be the union of
the complements of ci's from i

00:44:17.540 --> 00:44:20.060 align:middle line:90%
equals 1 to infinity.

00:44:20.060 --> 00:44:21.680 align:middle line:90%
What do we know then?

00:44:21.680 --> 00:44:24.740 align:middle line:84%
Well, the complement of a
closed set is going to be open.

00:44:24.740 --> 00:44:27.710 align:middle line:84%
So what we've gone from is
this collection of closed

00:44:27.710 --> 00:44:31.040 align:middle line:90%
sets to an open cover of x.

00:44:31.040 --> 00:44:41.770 align:middle line:84%
Therefore, there exists a
finite subcover given by,

00:44:41.770 --> 00:44:46.210 align:middle line:84%
let's say, the union from i
equals 1 to k of ci complement.

00:44:46.210 --> 00:44:49.360 align:middle line:90%


00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.430 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going
to show is then

00:44:51.430 --> 00:44:54.250 align:middle line:84%
that it fails to have the
finite intersection property.

00:44:54.250 --> 00:45:00.920 align:middle line:84%
So notice then that the
intersection of ci from i

00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.510 align:middle line:84%
equals 1 to k is
going to be the same

00:45:05.510 --> 00:45:09.800 align:middle line:84%
as the union of the
complements from i

00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.790 align:middle line:84%
equals 1 to k,
which we know is x.

00:45:13.790 --> 00:45:18.687 align:middle line:84%
So what this tells us is
that the complement of this--

00:45:18.687 --> 00:45:20.270 align:middle line:84%
sorry, that's not
what I meant to say.

00:45:20.270 --> 00:45:27.400 align:middle line:90%


00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:29.020 align:middle line:90%
Let me reiterate.

00:45:29.020 --> 00:45:37.650 align:middle line:84%
What we know then is that x
is equal to the union of ci

00:45:37.650 --> 00:45:42.560 align:middle line:84%
complement from i
equals 1 to k, which

00:45:42.560 --> 00:45:49.340 align:middle line:84%
is, of course, equal to the
intersection from n equals 1--

00:45:49.340 --> 00:45:56.222 align:middle line:84%
oh, OK, I see-- from i
equals 1 to k ci complement.

00:45:56.222 --> 00:45:58.180 align:middle line:84%
So we've gone from the
union of the complements

00:45:58.180 --> 00:46:01.090 align:middle line:84%
to the complement
of the intersection.

00:46:01.090 --> 00:46:04.660 align:middle line:84%
And then this implies that
the intersection from i

00:46:04.660 --> 00:46:09.010 align:middle line:84%
equals 1 to k of ci must
be the empty set, which

00:46:09.010 --> 00:46:11.560 align:middle line:84%
is a contradiction because
we're assuming that it has

00:46:11.560 --> 00:46:14.320 align:middle line:84%
the finite intersection
property, which again means

00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:18.880 align:middle line:84%
that every finite subcollection
has a nonempty intersection.

00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:20.350 align:middle line:90%
So this is our contradiction.

00:46:20.350 --> 00:46:23.500 align:middle line:84%
And we've shown that
topologically compact implies

00:46:23.500 --> 00:46:25.540 align:middle line:84%
that every collection
of closed sets

00:46:25.540 --> 00:46:27.880 align:middle line:84%
has with the finite
intersection property

00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.880 align:middle line:90%
has nonempty intersection.

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:35.190 align:middle line:84%
The proof of the other direction
is going to be very similar.

00:46:35.190 --> 00:46:37.670 align:middle line:84%
We're going to show that it's
topologically compact given

00:46:37.670 --> 00:46:39.410 align:middle line:90%
property 4.

00:46:39.410 --> 00:46:42.530 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to
show that 4 implies 1.

00:46:42.530 --> 00:46:45.450 align:middle line:90%


00:46:45.450 --> 00:46:57.540 align:middle line:84%
Suppose z Ui's are
an open cover of x.

00:46:57.540 --> 00:47:04.760 align:middle line:90%


00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.570 align:middle line:84%
What we want to
go from, then, is

00:47:07.570 --> 00:47:10.700 align:middle line:84%
we want to use this to find
information about closed sets

00:47:10.700 --> 00:47:12.490 align:middle line:90%
so that we can apply property 4.

00:47:12.490 --> 00:47:18.700 align:middle line:84%
Well, what we'll do is let
Ui complement these ci, which

00:47:18.700 --> 00:47:20.470 align:middle line:90%
are going to be closed.

00:47:20.470 --> 00:47:21.970 align:middle line:84%
How do you know
that they're closed?

00:47:21.970 --> 00:47:25.000 align:middle line:84%
Because the complement is going
to be the Ui's, which are open,

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:27.550 align:middle line:84%
so that implies
that it's closed.

00:47:27.550 --> 00:47:31.930 align:middle line:84%
And so what we're going
to show is that the ci's

00:47:31.930 --> 00:47:34.670 align:middle line:90%
have finite intersection.

00:47:34.670 --> 00:47:37.580 align:middle line:84%
So of the final
intersection property--

00:47:37.580 --> 00:47:45.510 align:middle line:90%


00:47:45.510 --> 00:47:47.010 align:middle line:84%
assume for the sake
of contradiction

00:47:47.010 --> 00:47:50.950 align:middle line:84%
that they don't have the
finite intersection property--

00:47:50.950 --> 00:47:53.800 align:middle line:90%
for the sake of contradiction--

00:47:53.800 --> 00:48:00.730 align:middle line:84%
that the intersection of
ci1 cik is empty, i.e.

00:48:00.730 --> 00:48:04.340 align:middle line:84%
it doesn't have the finite
intersection property.

00:48:04.340 --> 00:48:15.740 align:middle line:84%
Well then we'll have is that
the union from i equals 1 to k

00:48:15.740 --> 00:48:22.010 align:middle line:84%
of the Ui's is equal to the
intersection of the ci k,

00:48:22.010 --> 00:48:30.210 align:middle line:84%
ci n from n equals 1 to
k complement complement,

00:48:30.210 --> 00:48:34.280 align:middle line:84%
which is, of course, then the
complement of the intersection

00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.335 align:middle line:90%
of the cosets, which is x.

00:48:36.335 --> 00:48:43.070 align:middle line:90%


00:48:43.070 --> 00:48:44.810 align:middle line:84%
Do I want to read
you this proof?

00:48:44.810 --> 00:48:46.100 align:middle line:90%
I will read you this proof.

00:48:46.100 --> 00:48:48.440 align:middle line:84%
I want to rewrite this out
more carefully because we

00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:53.630 align:middle line:90%
have two nested contradictions.

00:48:53.630 --> 00:49:04.670 align:middle line:84%
So firstly, assume for the sake
of contradiction that there is

00:49:04.670 --> 00:49:06.300 align:middle line:90%
no finite subcover of the Ui's.

00:49:06.300 --> 00:49:10.530 align:middle line:90%


00:49:10.530 --> 00:49:17.775 align:middle line:90%
Finite subcover of the Ui's--

00:49:17.775 --> 00:49:20.475 align:middle line:90%


00:49:20.475 --> 00:49:21.037 align:middle line:90%
i.e.

00:49:21.037 --> 00:49:22.870 align:middle line:84%
we're assuming for the
sake of contradiction

00:49:22.870 --> 00:49:25.210 align:middle line:84%
that x is not
topologically compact.

00:49:25.210 --> 00:49:28.360 align:middle line:84%
And furthermore,
we're going to assume

00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:37.710 align:middle line:84%
for the sake of
contradiction that the ci's

00:49:37.710 --> 00:49:41.190 align:middle line:84%
don't have the finite
intersection property.

00:49:41.190 --> 00:49:46.860 align:middle line:84%
Therefore, because
we want to show

00:49:46.860 --> 00:49:49.050 align:middle line:84%
that they do have the finite
intersection property,

00:49:49.050 --> 00:49:56.400 align:middle line:84%
so the intersection from n
equals 1 to k of ci n is empty.

00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.170 align:middle line:84%
That's what we're
going to assume.

00:49:58.170 --> 00:49:59.680 align:middle line:90%
Well, then what do we know?

00:49:59.680 --> 00:50:02.940 align:middle line:84%
We know then that the
union of the Ui's--

00:50:02.940 --> 00:50:09.150 align:middle line:90%
Ui n from n equals 1 to k--

00:50:09.150 --> 00:50:13.020 align:middle line:84%
is the intersection
of the complements--

00:50:13.020 --> 00:50:17.790 align:middle line:90%
complement from n equals 1 to k.

00:50:17.790 --> 00:50:19.740 align:middle line:84%
But then this is going
to be all of x, right?

00:50:19.740 --> 00:50:22.650 align:middle line:84%
Because it's a complement
of the empty set.

00:50:22.650 --> 00:50:24.900 align:middle line:84%
And that's a contradiction
because we're assuming that

00:50:24.900 --> 00:50:28.200 align:middle line:84%
there's no finite
subcover of the Ui's.

00:50:28.200 --> 00:50:37.820 align:middle line:84%
So what we know then
is that the ci's

00:50:37.820 --> 00:50:51.650 align:middle line:84%
have the finite
intersection property, i.e.

00:50:51.650 --> 00:50:54.260 align:middle line:84%
the intersection of
all of the ci's from i

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:58.820 align:middle line:84%
equals 1 to infinity
is nonempty.

00:50:58.820 --> 00:50:59.972 align:middle line:90%
So what do we know?

00:50:59.972 --> 00:51:02.470 align:middle line:84%
We know then that the
complement of these

00:51:02.470 --> 00:51:04.660 align:middle line:90%
is going to be not all of x.

00:51:04.660 --> 00:51:09.490 align:middle line:84%
So we know that x, which is the
complement of the empty set,

00:51:09.490 --> 00:51:13.750 align:middle line:84%
is not going to be equal to the
complement of the intersection

00:51:13.750 --> 00:51:16.450 align:middle line:90%
of the ci's.

00:51:16.450 --> 00:51:20.390 align:middle line:84%
i equals 1 to infinity,
which is, of course,

00:51:20.390 --> 00:51:22.105 align:middle line:90%
the union of the Ui's.

00:51:22.105 --> 00:51:25.052 align:middle line:90%


00:51:25.052 --> 00:51:26.760 align:middle line:84%
But this is a
contradiction because we've

00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.220 align:middle line:84%
assumed from the very
beginning that the Ui's

00:51:29.220 --> 00:51:30.990 align:middle line:90%
are an open cover of x.

00:51:30.990 --> 00:51:33.880 align:middle line:84%
So what we've shown is
that our open cover is not,

00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:37.480 align:middle line:84%
in fact, an open cover,
which is our contradiction.

00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:46.340 align:middle line:84%
So we've shown so far that 1
implies 4, which implies 1,

00:51:46.340 --> 00:51:52.130 align:middle line:84%
and 1 implies 2,
which implies 1.

00:51:52.130 --> 00:51:56.600 align:middle line:84%
So now, what we need to show is
that 2 is the same as 3, i.e.

00:51:56.600 --> 00:51:59.150 align:middle line:84%
sequentially compact is
the same as totally bounded

00:51:59.150 --> 00:52:00.753 align:middle line:90%
and Cauchy complete.

00:52:00.753 --> 00:52:03.170 align:middle line:84%
Now, one of these directions
has already been done for us.

00:52:03.170 --> 00:52:07.010 align:middle line:84%
We've already shown that
totally bounded is a consequence

00:52:07.010 --> 00:52:08.600 align:middle line:90%
of sequentially compact.

00:52:08.600 --> 00:52:12.270 align:middle line:84%
What we now need to show is
that it's Cauchy complete.

00:52:12.270 --> 00:52:17.690 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to first
show that 2 implies 3.

00:52:17.690 --> 00:52:18.190 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:52:18.190 --> 00:52:22.610 align:middle line:90%


00:52:22.610 --> 00:52:40.190 align:middle line:84%
So let xi be a Cauchy
sequence of x, i.e.

00:52:40.190 --> 00:52:42.470 align:middle line:84%
for all epsilon
bigger than 0, there

00:52:42.470 --> 00:52:47.430 align:middle line:84%
exists an n in the natural
numbers such that for all n

00:52:47.430 --> 00:52:53.990 align:middle line:84%
and m bigger than or equal to n,
the distance between xn and xm

00:52:53.990 --> 00:52:55.670 align:middle line:90%
is less than epsilon.

00:52:55.670 --> 00:52:58.800 align:middle line:84%
We're going to use
this to our advantage.

00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:03.320 align:middle line:84%
So furthermore, what we know is
that by sequential compactness,

00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.480 align:middle line:84%
there's going to exist
a convergent subsequence

00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:06.380 align:middle line:90%
of the xi's.

00:53:06.380 --> 00:53:13.520 align:middle line:90%


00:53:13.520 --> 00:53:15.065 align:middle line:90%
And let's say it converges to x.

00:53:15.065 --> 00:53:21.490 align:middle line:90%


00:53:21.490 --> 00:53:24.220 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to
show then is that in fact,

00:53:24.220 --> 00:53:25.870 align:middle line:90%
xi will converge to x.

00:53:25.870 --> 00:53:28.420 align:middle line:84%
We're going to show that the
limit point of the Cauchy

00:53:28.420 --> 00:53:33.370 align:middle line:84%
sequence is, in fact, going
to be in our metric space.

00:53:33.370 --> 00:53:35.560 align:middle line:84%
To do that, let me
move to-- actually,

00:53:35.560 --> 00:53:38.140 align:middle line:90%
I can fit this in here.

00:53:38.140 --> 00:53:45.700 align:middle line:84%
Notice then for all nk and
n bigger than or equal to n,

00:53:45.700 --> 00:53:47.740 align:middle line:84%
look at the distance
from x to xn.

00:53:47.740 --> 00:53:50.410 align:middle line:84%
And this will be less than or
equal to the distance from x

00:53:50.410 --> 00:53:59.822 align:middle line:84%
to xnk plus the
distance from xnk to xn.

00:53:59.822 --> 00:54:01.280 align:middle line:84%
And we know that
this term is going

00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:04.012 align:middle line:90%
to be less than epsilon over 2.

00:54:04.012 --> 00:54:05.720 align:middle line:84%
Or sorry, we should
assume epsilon over 2

00:54:05.720 --> 00:54:06.770 align:middle line:90%
from the beginning.

00:54:06.770 --> 00:54:09.235 align:middle line:84%
But furthermore, we know
the xnk converges to x.

00:54:09.235 --> 00:54:11.360 align:middle line:84%
So we can assume that this
one is less than epsilon

00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:13.610 align:middle line:90%
over 2, which is epsilon.

00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:17.100 align:middle line:90%
So we've shown that xn is--

00:54:17.100 --> 00:54:21.560 align:middle line:84%
so what we've shown, therefore,
is that xi will converge to x.

00:54:21.560 --> 00:54:26.340 align:middle line:84%
And so we've shown that every
Cauchy sequence is convergent.

00:54:26.340 --> 00:54:28.847 align:middle line:84%
So we've shown Cauchy
completeness, which

00:54:28.847 --> 00:54:29.930 align:middle line:90%
is what we wanted to show.

00:54:29.930 --> 00:54:32.180 align:middle line:84%
We wanted to show that
sequential compactness was

00:54:32.180 --> 00:54:34.670 align:middle line:84%
the same as totally bounded
and Cauchy complete,

00:54:34.670 --> 00:54:36.830 align:middle line:84%
which concludes the
first part of our proof.

00:54:36.830 --> 00:54:39.370 align:middle line:90%


00:54:39.370 --> 00:54:41.440 align:middle line:84%
The second part, the
second direction,

00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:43.660 align:middle line:84%
is going to be quite a
bit harder because we

00:54:43.660 --> 00:54:47.320 align:middle line:84%
want to show that every sequence
has a convergent subsequence,

00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:49.540 align:middle line:84%
assuming totally bounded
and Cauchy complete,

00:54:49.540 --> 00:54:53.080 align:middle line:84%
which is going to require
quite a bit of work,

00:54:53.080 --> 00:54:56.050 align:middle line:84%
or at least quite a
bit of mental work,

00:54:56.050 --> 00:54:59.480 align:middle line:84%
even if on the chalkboard
it's not so much.

00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.270 align:middle line:84%
It's a little bit
confusing, how we

00:55:01.270 --> 00:55:07.080 align:middle line:84%
go from totally bounded and
Cauchy complete to a convergent

00:55:07.080 --> 00:55:09.264 align:middle line:90%
subsequence.

00:55:09.264 --> 00:55:10.080 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:55:10.080 --> 00:55:14.250 align:middle line:84%
We now want to show that
property 4 implies property 1.

00:55:14.250 --> 00:55:15.645 align:middle line:84%
And this will
conclude our proof.

00:55:15.645 --> 00:55:21.860 align:middle line:90%


00:55:21.860 --> 00:55:22.360 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:23.527 align:middle line:90%
How are we going to do this?

00:55:23.527 --> 00:55:39.070 align:middle line:84%
Well, going to assume
that x is totally bounded

00:55:39.070 --> 00:55:40.015 align:middle line:90%
and Cauchy complete.

00:55:40.015 --> 00:55:44.330 align:middle line:90%


00:55:44.330 --> 00:55:47.390 align:middle line:84%
And we want to show
sequential compactness.

00:55:47.390 --> 00:55:48.270 align:middle line:90%
How do we do that?

00:55:48.270 --> 00:55:51.860 align:middle line:84%
Well, we're going to start with
an arbitrary sequence in x.

00:55:51.860 --> 00:56:02.318 align:middle line:84%
So let xi be an
arbitrary sequence in x.

00:56:02.318 --> 00:56:03.860 align:middle line:84%
And we want to show
that there exists

00:56:03.860 --> 00:56:05.570 align:middle line:84%
a convergent subsequence,
which is going

00:56:05.570 --> 00:56:07.670 align:middle line:90%
to be a little bit difficult.

00:56:07.670 --> 00:56:08.630 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:56:08.630 --> 00:56:12.890 align:middle line:84%
To do so, what we're going to do
is start with totally bounded.

00:56:12.890 --> 00:56:20.490 align:middle line:84%
We're going to note that for
all n to the natural numbers,

00:56:20.490 --> 00:56:31.250 align:middle line:84%
we have that there exists
finitely many y1, or in fact,

00:56:31.250 --> 00:56:41.850 align:middle line:84%
I'll notate this
yn1 through yr of nn

00:56:41.850 --> 00:56:59.980 align:middle line:84%
such that the balls of radius 1
over n around yi of n cover x.

00:56:59.980 --> 00:57:02.260 align:middle line:84%
This is our assumption
from totally boundedness.

00:57:02.260 --> 00:57:06.190 align:middle line:84%
Here r of n is just
a function of r.

00:57:06.190 --> 00:57:08.320 align:middle line:84%
It's a function r
that depends on n

00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:14.750 align:middle line:84%
because the number of finitely
many terms can depend on n.

00:57:14.750 --> 00:57:17.580 align:middle line:84%
So in other words, we
don't know exactly how many

00:57:17.580 --> 00:57:20.453 align:middle line:84%
finitely many terms we have,
but the more important thing

00:57:20.453 --> 00:57:22.370 align:middle line:84%
to note is that we have
finitely many of these

00:57:22.370 --> 00:57:26.510 align:middle line:84%
for every single n,
which is our superscript.

00:57:26.510 --> 00:57:27.890 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:57:27.890 --> 00:57:30.180 align:middle line:84%
What are we going
to do with this?

00:57:30.180 --> 00:57:34.418 align:middle line:84%
Well, we're going
to go from this to--

00:57:34.418 --> 00:57:38.870 align:middle line:84%
OK, we want to go from this to a
Cauchy subsequence of the xi's.

00:57:38.870 --> 00:57:40.340 align:middle line:84%
And once we know
that it's Cauchy,

00:57:40.340 --> 00:57:43.650 align:middle line:84%
we're going to know
that it's convergent.

00:57:43.650 --> 00:57:51.160 align:middle line:84%
So we know that
there must exist 1--

00:57:51.160 --> 00:57:56.317 align:middle line:90%


00:57:56.317 --> 00:57:57.400 align:middle line:90%
how do I want to say this?

00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:05.050 align:middle line:90%


00:58:05.050 --> 00:58:09.070 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, let's let S1 be
the set of these points--

00:58:09.070 --> 00:58:13.000 align:middle line:90%
y1 n through yr of nn.

00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:16.150 align:middle line:90%


00:58:16.150 --> 00:58:19.030 align:middle line:84%
What we know is
that given that xi

00:58:19.030 --> 00:58:22.930 align:middle line:84%
is an infinitely
long sequence in x,

00:58:22.930 --> 00:58:28.210 align:middle line:84%
one of the balls of radius 1
over n around these points--

00:58:28.210 --> 00:58:31.240 align:middle line:90%


00:58:31.240 --> 00:58:33.250 align:middle line:90%
sorry, I should call this Sn.

00:58:33.250 --> 00:58:36.970 align:middle line:84%
We know that around the balls
of radius 1 over n, around 1

00:58:36.970 --> 00:58:40.010 align:middle line:84%
of these points, has to contain
infinitely many of the terms.

00:58:40.010 --> 00:58:43.710 align:middle line:84%
This is by the
pigeonhole principle.

00:58:43.710 --> 00:58:47.220 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, there
exists in xi--

00:58:47.220 --> 00:58:53.610 align:middle line:90%


00:58:53.610 --> 00:58:57.780 align:middle line:84%
or sorry, I should say there
exists a ball of radius 1

00:58:57.780 --> 00:59:11.530 align:middle line:84%
around some yi of 1
containing infinitely many xi.

00:59:11.530 --> 00:59:14.130 align:middle line:90%


00:59:14.130 --> 00:59:16.350 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to do
is choose our first point

00:59:16.350 --> 00:59:20.740 align:middle line:84%
in our sequence to be
one of these points.

00:59:20.740 --> 00:59:30.610 align:middle line:84%
So let z1 be the first,
just out of assumption.

00:59:30.610 --> 00:59:33.130 align:middle line:84%
And what we're going to do is
continue constructing these

00:59:33.130 --> 00:59:34.270 align:middle line:90%
zi's.

00:59:34.270 --> 00:59:36.940 align:middle line:84%
Well, we know then,
furthermore, is

00:59:36.940 --> 00:59:46.210 align:middle line:84%
that there exists a ball of
radius 1 of yi 2 such that--

00:59:46.210 --> 00:59:51.520 align:middle line:84%
sorry, 1/2 such that the
intersection of these 2

00:59:51.520 --> 00:59:58.360 align:middle line:84%
ball of radius 1
over 2 around yi 2

00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:07.690 align:middle line:84%
intersection the ball of radius
1 yj1 has infinitely many xi.

01:00:07.690 --> 01:00:11.620 align:middle line:90%


01:00:11.620 --> 01:00:13.680 align:middle line:84%
How do we know
that this is true?

01:00:13.680 --> 01:00:15.430 align:middle line:84%
Well, we know that
infinitely many of them

01:00:15.430 --> 01:00:17.020 align:middle line:90%
already lie in this ball.

01:00:17.020 --> 01:00:19.510 align:middle line:84%
And so we already know if we
take the intersection of this

01:00:19.510 --> 01:00:22.120 align:middle line:84%
with all the other
balls of radius 1/2,

01:00:22.120 --> 01:00:24.083 align:middle line:84%
there has to be
infinitely many there.

01:00:24.083 --> 01:00:26.500 align:middle line:84%
And to see this, I'll draw a
little bit more of a picture.

01:00:26.500 --> 01:00:29.810 align:middle line:90%


01:00:29.810 --> 01:00:33.010 align:middle line:90%
So here is our metric space x.

01:00:33.010 --> 01:00:36.400 align:middle line:84%
And we start with covering
it with balls of radius 1,

01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:40.060 align:middle line:84%
which I'll draw pretty big, just
so that we don't have to make

01:00:40.060 --> 01:00:41.720 align:middle line:90%
a bunch of small pictures.

01:00:41.720 --> 01:00:43.270 align:middle line:84%
So here are the
balls of radius 1.

01:00:43.270 --> 01:00:48.290 align:middle line:90%


01:00:48.290 --> 01:00:51.530 align:middle line:84%
Well, what we know then
is that one of these--

01:00:51.530 --> 01:00:54.020 align:middle line:90%
let's say this one--

01:00:54.020 --> 01:00:57.020 align:middle line:90%
contains infinitely many terms.

01:00:57.020 --> 01:01:01.800 align:middle line:90%
So we choose our z1 to be here.

01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:04.010 align:middle line:84%
Furthermore, we have
the intersection

01:01:04.010 --> 01:01:07.190 align:middle line:84%
of this with balls
of radius 1/2.

01:01:07.190 --> 01:01:10.290 align:middle line:84%
So I make these a
little bit smaller.

01:01:10.290 --> 01:01:13.310 align:middle line:90%
Sorry, that's not quite good.

01:01:13.310 --> 01:01:15.490 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, these will be my
balls of radius 1/2.

01:01:15.490 --> 01:01:25.870 align:middle line:90%


01:01:25.870 --> 01:01:28.240 align:middle line:84%
What I know then is
that the intersection

01:01:28.240 --> 01:01:30.970 align:middle line:84%
of the balls of radius 1/2
and the balls of radius 1--

01:01:30.970 --> 01:01:33.010 align:middle line:84%
there's only going to be
finitely many of them,

01:01:33.010 --> 01:01:33.968 align:middle line:90%
by assumption.

01:01:33.968 --> 01:01:36.010 align:middle line:84%
And the fact that there
are finitely many of them

01:01:36.010 --> 01:01:39.160 align:middle line:84%
implies that there exists
infinitely many of them

01:01:39.160 --> 01:01:41.050 align:middle line:90%
that lie in one of these balls.

01:01:41.050 --> 01:01:43.150 align:middle line:84%
One of these balls of
radius 1/2 intersected

01:01:43.150 --> 01:01:46.270 align:middle line:90%
one of the balls of radius 1.

01:01:46.270 --> 01:01:50.920 align:middle line:84%
So what we can do
is choose z2 to be

01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:52.580 align:middle line:90%
in this intersection of them.

01:01:52.580 --> 01:01:54.340 align:middle line:84%
And we're going to
reiterate this process.

01:01:54.340 --> 01:01:56.543 align:middle line:84%
We're going to
assume that z3 is one

01:01:56.543 --> 01:01:58.960 align:middle line:84%
of the infinitely many points
in the intersection of balls

01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:03.800 align:middle line:84%
of radius 1/3, 1/2, and
1, and so on and so forth.

01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:06.820 align:middle line:84%
And what we hope to show
is that the sequence

01:02:06.820 --> 01:02:08.650 align:middle line:90%
is going to be Cauchy.

01:02:08.650 --> 01:02:13.187 align:middle line:84%
But that's not, at this point,
going to be too hard to do.

01:02:13.187 --> 01:02:14.770 align:middle line:84%
OK, let me write
this down more fully.

01:02:14.770 --> 01:02:19.570 align:middle line:84%
We're going to choose zk to be
in the intersection of balls

01:02:19.570 --> 01:02:25.135 align:middle line:84%
of radius nk of n
from n equals 1 to k.

01:02:25.135 --> 01:02:28.840 align:middle line:90%


01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:30.985 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, balls of radius 1 to k.

01:02:30.985 --> 01:02:32.860 align:middle line:84%
And now we want to show
that this sequence is

01:02:32.860 --> 01:02:33.850 align:middle line:90%
going to be Cauchy.

01:02:33.850 --> 01:02:36.550 align:middle line:90%
Well, what's the distance--

01:02:36.550 --> 01:02:42.380 align:middle line:84%
or for all epsilon
bigger than 0,

01:02:42.380 --> 01:02:46.850 align:middle line:84%
choose n in the natural
numbers such that 1 over n

01:02:46.850 --> 01:02:48.840 align:middle line:90%
is less than epsilon.

01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:50.030 align:middle line:90%
Then what do we know?

01:02:50.030 --> 01:02:54.800 align:middle line:84%
Well, for all n and m
bigger than or equal to n,

01:02:54.800 --> 01:03:00.260 align:middle line:84%
we know then that zn and zm
are both going to be contained

01:03:00.260 --> 01:03:04.033 align:middle line:84%
in the ball of radius 1
over n of one of the yi's.

01:03:04.033 --> 01:03:06.200 align:middle line:84%
I won't describe which one
because it's a little bit

01:03:06.200 --> 01:03:06.920 align:middle line:90%
annoying.

01:03:06.920 --> 01:03:09.620 align:middle line:84%
But we know that they
both must lie in 1 over n

01:03:09.620 --> 01:03:12.410 align:middle line:84%
because they're in this
intersection of all

01:03:12.410 --> 01:03:13.860 align:middle line:90%
these terms.

01:03:13.860 --> 01:03:20.060 align:middle line:84%
So what we know then is that
the distance from zn to zm

01:03:20.060 --> 01:03:22.830 align:middle line:84%
must be less than 1
over n or less than

01:03:22.830 --> 01:03:25.010 align:middle line:84%
or equal to 1 over
n, which is less

01:03:25.010 --> 01:03:28.610 align:middle line:84%
than epsilon, which implies
that the zi's must be Cauchy.

01:03:28.610 --> 01:03:33.920 align:middle line:84%
So therefore, the
zi's are Cauchy--

01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:37.160 align:middle line:84%
and by Cauchy completeness,
we know that there

01:03:37.160 --> 01:03:40.180 align:middle line:90%
exists a limit point.

01:03:40.180 --> 01:03:44.380 align:middle line:90%
zi converges to some z in x.

01:03:44.380 --> 01:03:47.140 align:middle line:84%
But recall again that
our zi's are constructed

01:03:47.140 --> 01:03:49.300 align:middle line:90%
from our original sequence.

01:03:49.300 --> 01:03:52.190 align:middle line:84%
They're a subsequence of
our original sequence.

01:03:52.190 --> 01:03:53.800 align:middle line:84%
So what we've
shown is that there

01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.020 align:middle line:84%
is a convergent subsequence
of our sequence in x.

01:03:57.020 --> 01:03:59.470 align:middle line:84%
And this is exactly what
we sought out to show.

01:03:59.470 --> 01:04:03.100 align:middle line:84%
And this shows that totally
bounded and Cauchy complete

01:04:03.100 --> 01:04:05.260 align:middle line:90%
implies sequentially compact.

01:04:05.260 --> 01:04:07.840 align:middle line:84%
And this is the end of
our four-part proof.

01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:10.520 align:middle line:90%


01:04:10.520 --> 01:04:13.340 align:middle line:84%
So again, to
reiterate, we've shown

01:04:13.340 --> 01:04:16.010 align:middle line:84%
that topologically compact
is the same as sequentially

01:04:16.010 --> 01:04:18.860 align:middle line:84%
compact, where here we used
the Lebesgue number lemma

01:04:18.860 --> 01:04:21.290 align:middle line:90%
and totally boundedness.

01:04:21.290 --> 01:04:23.720 align:middle line:84%
Then from here we show
that sequentially compact

01:04:23.720 --> 01:04:26.472 align:middle line:84%
is the same as totally
bounded and Cauchy complete.

01:04:26.472 --> 01:04:28.430 align:middle line:84%
Cauchy complete didn't
take too much more work.

01:04:28.430 --> 01:04:29.700 align:middle line:90%
That was pretty short.

01:04:29.700 --> 01:04:32.960 align:middle line:84%
The other direction required
quite a bit of maneuvering

01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:34.790 align:middle line:84%
to get that convergent
subsequence,

01:04:34.790 --> 01:04:38.002 align:middle line:84%
but again, the notes
contain this more fully

01:04:38.002 --> 01:04:40.460 align:middle line:84%
if you want to read through it
slowly and at your own pace.

01:04:40.460 --> 01:04:43.090 align:middle line:90%


01:04:43.090 --> 01:04:46.480 align:middle line:84%
And furthermore, lastly, we
showed that 1 is the same as 4,

01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:49.540 align:middle line:84%
where topologically compact
is the same as closed subsets

01:04:49.540 --> 01:04:51.790 align:middle line:84%
with the finite
intersection property having

01:04:51.790 --> 01:04:53.328 align:middle line:90%
nonempty intersection.

01:04:53.328 --> 01:04:55.870 align:middle line:84%
And now, let's think carefully
about how each of these proofs

01:04:55.870 --> 01:04:58.090 align:middle line:84%
went because each
have their own purpose

01:04:58.090 --> 01:05:02.650 align:middle line:90%
in a proof about metric spaces.

01:05:02.650 --> 01:05:06.320 align:middle line:84%
To show that 1 was the same as
4, we looked at open covers,

01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:06.820 align:middle line:90%
right?

01:05:06.820 --> 01:05:08.830 align:middle line:84%
We took the open
cover definition

01:05:08.830 --> 01:05:12.010 align:middle line:84%
and looked at complements of
closed sets and being open,

01:05:12.010 --> 01:05:13.780 align:middle line:84%
and complements of
open sets being closed.

01:05:13.780 --> 01:05:15.988 align:middle line:84%
And we used all these
different properties like that.

01:05:15.988 --> 01:05:18.880 align:middle line:84%
And that makes a lot of sense
because both definitions

01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:21.760 align:middle line:84%
are in terms of
closed and open sets.

01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:24.050 align:middle line:84%
But to show
sequentially compact was

01:05:24.050 --> 01:05:26.050 align:middle line:84%
the same as totally bounded
and Cauchy complete,

01:05:26.050 --> 01:05:30.400 align:middle line:84%
we used definitions of
sequential compactness, right?

01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:32.800 align:middle line:84%
Because it's so
much easier to look

01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:34.630 align:middle line:84%
at convergent
subsequences and such

01:05:34.630 --> 01:05:37.120 align:middle line:84%
when you're looking at
sequential compactness.

01:05:37.120 --> 01:05:39.983 align:middle line:84%
So we could have proven
that 1 implies 3,

01:05:39.983 --> 01:05:41.650 align:middle line:84%
but it would have
been a little bit more

01:05:41.650 --> 01:05:44.360 align:middle line:84%
difficult and a little bit
harder to maneuver around.

01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:47.320 align:middle line:84%
And in fact, that's why I've
shown these four properties

01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:50.710 align:middle line:84%
today because if you're in
a class where you're proving

01:05:50.710 --> 01:05:54.830 align:middle line:84%
facts about metric
spaces, you need

01:05:54.830 --> 01:05:57.470 align:middle line:84%
to use the property
that makes the most

01:05:57.470 --> 01:05:59.120 align:middle line:90%
sense to use in a given moment.

01:05:59.120 --> 01:06:00.620 align:middle line:84%
For instance, on
your problem set,

01:06:00.620 --> 01:06:03.020 align:middle line:84%
you're going to be asked
to show that the union

01:06:03.020 --> 01:06:06.870 align:middle line:84%
of finitely many compact
sets is going to be compact.

01:06:06.870 --> 01:06:09.650 align:middle line:84%
How do you know that
this is going to be true?

01:06:09.650 --> 01:06:11.710 align:middle line:84%
Well, you can use
sequential compactness.

01:06:11.710 --> 01:06:13.265 align:middle line:84%
You can use topological
compactness.

01:06:13.265 --> 01:06:14.890 align:middle line:84%
You can use any of
these for properties

01:06:14.890 --> 01:06:17.740 align:middle line:84%
that you still wish to choose,
but be sure to think carefully

01:06:17.740 --> 01:06:19.390 align:middle line:84%
about which one
because one of them

01:06:19.390 --> 01:06:20.690 align:middle line:90%
might be a little bit easier.

01:06:20.690 --> 01:06:24.350 align:middle line:84%
So I won't discredit you if
you use any of the other ones.

01:06:24.350 --> 01:06:26.080 align:middle line:84%
And this is true in
general when you're

01:06:26.080 --> 01:06:28.100 align:middle line:84%
going into proofs
about metric spaces.

01:06:28.100 --> 01:06:30.100 align:middle line:84%
Having the intuition to
flip from one definition

01:06:30.100 --> 01:06:34.820 align:middle line:84%
to the other is deeply important
and very useful to know.

01:06:34.820 --> 01:06:37.300 align:middle line:84%
So that will conclude
today's lecture.

01:06:37.300 --> 01:06:41.200 align:middle line:84%
On next Thursday, we're
going to prove some new facts

01:06:41.200 --> 01:06:42.430 align:middle line:90%
about compact spaces.

01:06:42.430 --> 01:06:44.350 align:middle line:84%
And in particular,
what we're going

01:06:44.350 --> 01:06:47.080 align:middle line:84%
to show or talk
about is the history

01:06:47.080 --> 01:06:49.390 align:middle line:84%
of compact metric spaces
and why they were developed

01:06:49.390 --> 01:06:51.250 align:middle line:84%
in the first place,
which comes from what

01:06:51.250 --> 01:06:53.140 align:middle line:84%
is known as the
Dirichlet problem,

01:06:53.140 --> 01:06:55.570 align:middle line:84%
but I'll leave that discussion
until next Thursday.

01:06:55.570 --> 01:06:57.890 align:middle line:90%
Until then have a great weekend.

01:06:57.890 --> 01:06:59.670 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

01:06:59.670 --> 01:07:05.000 align:middle line:90%
