The Wallace semigroup deduction #
This file formalizes Section 9, the final deduction of the Wallace-semigroup corollary in the
current paper under paper/.
The paper constructs a Hausdorff group topology on the free Abelian group and proves a
free-ultrafilter subsequence limit property. Here that output is named
HasWallaceLimitProperty. We prove from it that the nonnegative cone is Hausdorff, countably
compact, cancellative on both sides, a topological semigroup, and not a group.
Every declaration in this file is proved from its explicitly stated hypotheses.
The precise additive form of a Hausdorff Wallace semigroup.
The final conjunct says that the additive monoid has a noninvertible element, hence is not a group. An additive monoid is used rather than a bare semigroup because the counterexample in the paper is the nonnegative cone and contains zero.
Equations
- Wallace.IsWallaceSemigroup S = (ContinuousAdd S ∧ IsCancelAdd S ∧ T2Space S ∧ CountablyCompactSpace S ∧ ∃ (x : S), ¬IsAddUnit x)
Instances For
A convenient unbundled form of the accumulation-point criterion used for countable compactness.
Equations
- Wallace.HasInfiniteSetAccumulationProperty X = ∀ (B : Set X), B.Infinite → ∃ (x : X), AccPt x (Filter.principal B)
Instances For
In a T1 space, the accumulation-point property implies countable compactness.
This invokes mathlib's standard equivalence
isCountablyCompact_iff_infinite_subset_has_accPt; it is not a custom compactness notion.
An injective sequence converging along a free ultrafilter has its limit as an accumulation point of its range.
The exact part of the paper's construction used by the Wallace corollary.
Every injective sequence contained in P has a genuine subsequence (StrictMono φ) converging
to a point of P along a free ultrafilter.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
A limit in the ambient space is also a limit in a subspace when the sequence and its limit lie in that subspace.
The paper's free-ultrafilter limit property gives the accumulation-point property on the
subspace P.
The algebraic witness a ∈ P, -a ∉ P is not an additive unit of the cone.
A countably compact additive submonoid P of a Hausdorff Abelian group with continuous
addition is a Wallace semigroup whenever a ∈ P and -a ∉ P for some a.
The Wallace conclusion from the exact accumulation-point hypothesis.
The Wallace conclusion from the free-ultrafilter limit property proved in the paper.
The formalized Wallace deduction for a free Abelian group: if the topology has the exact free-ultrafilter limit property constructed by the paper, its nonnegative cone is a Wallace semigroup.
