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.
As preparation for the proof of the Baire category theorem, let us prove a useful lemma due to Georg Cantor.3 Recall first that if X is a compact metric space, then …
