Definition 8.9.1 (Projective Uniformity). Let $E$ be a vector space over $K \in \RC$, $\seqi{F}$ be TVSs over $K$, and $\seqi{T}$ where $T_{i} \in \hom(E; F_{i})$ for all $i \in I$, then there exists a uniformity $\fU$ on $E$ such that:

  1. For each $i \in I$, $T_{i} \in L(E; F_{i})$.

  2. If $\mathfrak{V}$ is a uniformity on $E$ satisfying $(1)$, then $\mathfrak{V}\supset \fU$.

Moreover,

  1. $\fU$ is translation-invariant.

  2. $E$ equipped with the topology induced by $\fU$ is a topological vector space.

  3. For any TVS $F$ over $K$ and linear map $T \in \hom(F; E)$, $T \in L(F; E)$ if and only if $T_{i} \circ T \in L(F; F_{i})$ for all $i \in I$.

  4. The collection

    \[\bracs{\bigcap_{j \in J}T_j^{-1}(U_j) \bigg | J \subset I \text{ finite}, U_j \in \cn_{F_j}(0)}\]

    is a fundamental system of neighbourhoods for $E$ at $0$.

The uniformity $\fU$ and its topology are the projective uniformity/topology induced by $\seqi{T}$.

Proof. (1), (U): By Definition 5.2.3.

Let $U \in \fU$, then there exists $J \subset I$ finite and translation-invariant entourages $\seqj{U}$ such that

\[U \subset V = \bigcap_{j \in J}(T_{j} \times T_{j})^{-1}(U_{j})\]

(3): For each $j \in J$, $(x, y) \in (T_{j} \times T_{j})^{-1}(U_{j})$, and $z \in E$,

\[(T_{j} \times T_{j})(x + z, y + z) = (T_{j}x + T_{j}z, T_{j}y + T_{j}z) \in U_{j}\]

so $(T_{j} \times T_{j})^{-1}(U_{j})$ is translation-invariant, and so is $V$.

(4): By (TVS1) and (TVS2), for each $j \in J$, there exists an entourage $V_{j}$ of $F_{j}$ and $\eps_{j} > 0$ such that for any $(x, x'), (y, y') \in V_{j}$ and $\lambda, \lambda' \in K$ with $\abs{\lambda - \lambda'}< \eps_{j}$, $(x + y, x' + y'), (\lambda x, \lambda' x') \in U_{j}$.

Therefore, for any $(x, x'), (y, y') \in \bigcap_{j \in J}T_{j}^{-1}(V_{j})$ and $\lambda, \lambda' \in K$ with $\abs{\lambda - \lambda'}< \min_{j \in J}\eps$, $(x + y, x' + y'), (\lambda x, \lambda' x') \in V$.

(5): By Definition 8.5.1 and (4) of Definition 5.2.3.

(6): By Definition 5.2.3.$\square$
