Proposition 8.11.1. Let $T$ be a set, $\mathfrak{S}\subset 2^{T}$ be an upward-directed system of sets, $F$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$, then
The $\mathfrak{S}$-uniformity on $F^{T}$ (Definition 6.1.2) is translation invariant.
The composition defined by
\[T^{F} \times T^{F} \to T^{F} \quad (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)\]is continuous.
For any vector subspace $\cf \subset F^{T}$, the following are equivalent:
The $\mathfrak{S}$-uniform topology on $\cf \subset F^{E}$ is a vector space topology.
For each $S \in \mathfrak{S}$ and $f \in \cf$, $f(S) \subset E$ is bounded.
Proof. (1): Let $U \subset F \times F$ be an entourage and $S \in \mathfrak{S}$. Using Proposition 8.1.6, assume without loss of generality that $U$ is translation-invariant. For any $(f, g) \in E(S, U)$, $h \in F^{T}$, and $x \in S$, $(f(x) + h(x), g(x) + h(x)) \in U$. Thus $(f + h, g + h) \in E(S, U)$ and $E(S, U)$ is translation-invariant.
(2): Let $f, g, f', g' \in \cf$, $S \in \mathfrak{S}$, and $U \subset F \times F$ be an entourage. By (TVS1), there exists an entourage $V \subset F \times F$ such that for any $x, x', y, y' \in F$ with $(x, x'), (y, y') \in V$, $(x + y, x' + y') \in U$. If $(f, g), (f', g') \in E(S, V) \cap \cf$, then for any $x \in S$, $(f(x) + g(x), f'(x) + g'(x)) \in U$, so $(f + g, f' + g') \in E(S, U) \cap \cf$.
(3) $\Rightarrow$ (4): Let $f \in \cf$, $S \in \mathfrak{S}$ and $U \subset F \times F$ be a symmetric entourage, then $E(S, U)(0)$ is a neighbourhood of $0$ with respect to the $\mathfrak{S}$-uniform topology. By (TVS2), there exists $\lambda > 0$ such that $f \in \lambda E(S, U)(0)$. In which case, for any $x \in S$, $\lambda^{-1}f(x) \in U(0)$ and $f(x) \in \lambda U(0)$. Thus $f(S) \subset \lambda U(0)$, and $f(S)$ is bounded.
(4) $\Rightarrow$ (3): Let $f, g \in \cf$, $\lambda, \lambda' \in K$, and $S \in \mathfrak{S}$, then for any $x \in X$,
Let $U_{0} \in \cn_{F}(0)$. By (TVS1) and Proposition 8.1.11, there exists $U \in \cn_{F}(0)$ circled such that $U + U \subset U_{0}$. By (TVS2), there exists $V \in \cn_{F}(0)$ such that $\lambda' V \subset U$. Since $f(S)$ is bounded, there exists $\eps > 0$ with $\eps f(S) \subset U$. In which case, if $\abs{\lambda - \lambda'}< \eps$ and $f(x) - g(x) \in V$ for all $x \in S$, then
for all $x \in S$.$\square$
