The Baire category theorem - UCL
MATHEMATICS 3103 (Functional Analysis)YEAR 2012 2013, TERM 2 HANDOUT #7: THE Baire category theorem AND ITSCONSEQUENCESWe shall begin this last section of the course by returning tothe study of general metricspaces, and proving a fairly deep result called theBaire category shall thenapply the Baire category theorem to prove three fundamentalresults in functional analysis:the Uniform Boundedness theorem , the Open Mapping theorem ,and the Closed Baire category theoremLetXbe a metric space. A subsetA Xis callednowhere denseinXif the interior ofthe closure ofAis empty, (A) = . Otherwise put,Ais nowhere dense iff it is containedin a closed set with empty interior. Passing to complements,we can say equivalently thatAis nowhere dense iff its complement contains a dense open set (why?)
Remark. If you have studied Measure Theory, then you have encountered another important σ-ideal of sets in R or Rn, namely the sets of Lebesgue measure zero (also called null sets). These sets are “negligible” in the measure-theoretic sense.
