Let VVV be a quasi-complete topological vector space over K=R\mathbb K=\mathbb RK=R or C\mathbb CC and W⊆VW\subseteq VW⊆V a closed linear subspace. Then WWW, with the subspace topology, is quasi-complete.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · Aristotle (Harmonic)

Let K\mathbb KK be a real-or-complex scalar field (in practice R\mathbb RR or C\mathbb CC), and let VVV be a K\mathbb KK-vector space that is also a real vector space with compatible scalar multiplications (multiplying by a real number rrr is the same as multiplying by r∈Kr\in\mathbb Kr∈K), carrying a topology in which addition and negation are continuous, scalar multiplication K×V→V\mathbb K\times V\to VK×V→V is jointly continuous, and which is Hausdorff. Assume VVV is quasi-complete over K\mathbb KK. Let WWW be a K\mathbb KK-subspace of VVV that is a closed subset of VVV. Then WWW, with the subspace topology and the induced operations, is quasi-complete over K\mathbb KK. Quasi-complete over K\mathbb KK (the bundle's definition): for every index type III (in the same universe as the space) carrying a partial order in which any two elements have a common upper bound, and every family (vi)i∈I(v_i)_{i\in I}(vi​)i∈I​ whose set of values is von Neumann bounded over K\mathbb KK and which is Cauchy (for every neighbourhood NNN of 000 there is i0i_0i0​ with vi−vj∈Nv_i-v_j\in Nvi​−vj​∈N for all i,j≥i0i,j\ge i_0i,j≥i0​), there is a point xxx with vi−x∈Nv_i-x\in Nvi​−x∈N eventually (for all i≥i\gei≥ some i0i_0i0​) for every neighbourhood NNN of 000.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
