Proposition 6.1.3. Let $T$ be a set, $\mathfrak{S}\subset 2^{T}$ be a non-empty family of sets, and $(X, \fU)$ be a uniform space whose uniformity is induced by the pseudometrics $\seqi{d}$. For each $i \in I$ and $S \in \mathfrak{S}$, let

\[d_{i, S}: X^{T} \times X^{T} \quad (f, g) \mapsto \sup_{x \in S}d_{i}(f(x), g(x))\]

then

  1. $\bracs{d_{i, S}| i \in I, S \in \mathfrak{S}}$ is a family of pseudometrics induces the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity on $X^{T}$.

  2. If $\mathfrak{S}$ is upward-directed with respect to inclusion, then

    \[\bracs{\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r)|J \subset I \text{ finite}, r > 0, S \in \mathfrak{S}}\]

    is a fundamental system of entourages for the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity on $X^{T}$.

Proof. (1): Let $S \in \mathfrak{S}$ and $U \in \fU$, then there exists $r > 0$ and $J \subset I$ finite such that $\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j}, r) \subset U$, so

\[\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r) \subset E\paren{S, \bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_j, r)}\subset E(S, U)\]

and the uniformity induced by $\bracs{d_{i, S}| i \in I, S \in \mathfrak{S}}$ contains the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity.

On the other hand, for any $i \in I$ and $r > 0$, $E(d_{j}, r/2) \in \fU$ by Definition 5.3.3. Therefore $E(S, E(d_{j}, r/2)) \subset E(d_{j, S}, r)$, so the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity contains the induced uniformity.

(2): If $\mathfrak{S}$ is upward-directed with respect to inclusion, then by Definition 6.1.2,

\[\bracs{E(S, U)| U \in \fU, S \in \mathfrak{S}}\]

Following the same steps in (1),

\[\bracs{\bigcap_{j \in J}E(d_{j, S}, r)|J \subset I \text{ finite}, r > 0, S \in \mathfrak{S}}\]

is a fundamental system of entourages for the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity.$\square$
