Lemma 119.7. (*) Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be two CW-complexes. We define the topological space \( X \otimes Y \), whose underlying set is \( X \times Y \), as on page [963. The identity map \( \mathrm{{id}} : X \otimes Y \rightarrow X \times Y \) is a CW-approximation.
Proof (*). By Proposition 36.23 we know that \( X \otimes Y \) is a CW-complex and we know that the identity map id: \( X \otimes Y \rightarrow X \times Y \) is continuous. In Proposition 36.26 we showed that the induced maps on fundamental groups are isomorphisms. Basically the same argument, with the obvious extensio...

Lemma 119.16. Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be CW-complexes. If \( X \) and \( Y \) are simple homotopy equivalent, then they are homotopy equivalent.
Proof (*). By Lemma 18.11 the notion of being homotopy equivalent is an equivalence relation. Thus it suffices to show that if a CW-complex \( X \) is an elementary collapse of a CW-complex \( Y \), then \( X \) is homotopy equivalent to \( Y \) . In fact, by Lemma 18.14 it suffices to show that \( X \) is a deformatio...

Corollary 119.19. Let \( X \) be a CW-complex. If \( X \) is simply connected and if we have \( {\mathrm{H}}_{n}\left( {X;\mathbb{Z}}\right) = 0 \) for all \( n \geq 2 \), then \( X \) is contractible, i.e. \( X \) is homotopy equivalent to a point.
Proof. We let \( Y = \{ * \} \) be the topological space that consists of a single point and let \( f : X \rightarrow Y = \{ * \} \) be the only map there is. It follows immediately from Proposition 119.6 that \( f \) is a weak homotopy equivalence. Thus the desired statement follows from the Whitehead Theorem 119.9 (1...

Lemma 120.27. Let \( \pi \) be an abelian group and let \( n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{ \geq 2} \) . If \( Y \) is an Eilenberg-Maclane space of type \( \mathrm{K}\left( {\pi, n}\right) \), then \( {\mathrm{H}}_{n + 1}\left( {Y;\mathbb{Z}}\right) = 0 \) .
Proof of Lemma 120.27. Let \( n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{ \geq 2} \) and let \( \pi \) be an abelian group. It follows from Corollary 120.13 that it suffices to show that there exists a single Eilenberg-Maclane space \( Z \) of type \( \overline{\mathrm{K}\left( {\pi, n}\right) } \) with \( {\mathrm{H}}_{n + 1}\left( {Z;\math...

1.27 Proposition. If \( \mathcal{A} \) is a nonunital \( {C}^{ * } \) algebra, there is a unique norm on \( \widetilde{\mathcal{A}} \) that makes \( \widetilde{\mathcal{A}} \) into a \( {C}^{ * } \) algebra with involution (1.26). This norm agrees with the original norm on \( \mathcal{A} \) .

To see this, let \( f \) be the characteristic function of \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{p} \). The restriction of any character \( {\xi }_{y} \) on \( {\mathbb{Q}}_{p} \) to the compact group \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{p} \) is a character on \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{p} \).

Consider the Dirichlet function \( {\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\left( x\right) \) as described in Example 0.1.3 For any partition \( P \) of \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \) ,
\[ L\left( {{\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{Q}}, P}\right) = 0\;\text{ and }\;U\left( {{\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{Q}}, P}\right) = 1. \] Therefore, \[ {\int }_{0}^{1}{\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\left( x\right) {dx} = 0\;\text{ and }\;\overline{{\int }_{0}^{1}}{\mathcal{X}}_{\mathbb{Q}}\left( x\right) {dx} = 1. \]

Corollary 0.2.3. Let \( f \in B\left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) . Then\n\n\[{\int }_{a}^{b}f\left( x\right) {dx} \leq \overline{{\int }_{a}^{b}}f\left( x\right) {dx}.\]

Theorem 0.2.6. Let \( f \) be continuous on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) . Then \( f \in R\left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) .
Proof. We will use Theorem 0.2.4 Let \( \epsilon > 0 \) be given. Since \( f \) is continuous on the closed and bounded interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack, f \) must be uniformly continuous on \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) .

We will compute the Lebesgue outer measure of \( A = \{ 3\} \) .
Let \( \epsilon > 0 \) . Set \( S = \{ \left\lbrack {3 - \epsilon ,3 + \epsilon }\right\rbrack \} \) . Thus,\n\n\[ 0 \leq {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \leq \sigma \left( S\right) = {2\epsilon }.\]\n\nSince \( \epsilon \) was arbitrary, it follows that \( {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) = 0 \) .

Let \( A = \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \) . The Lebesgue outer measure of \( A \) is 1.
This should come as no surprise. After all, the length of this interval is 1 . In fact, \( S = \{ \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \} \) is a covering of \( A \) by a single closed interval. Therefore,\n\n\[ \n{m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \leq \sigma \left( S\right) = 1 \n\]\n\nHowever, it is not an easy matter to prove tha...

Proof. (i) If either \( {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \) or \( {m}^{ * }\left( B\right) \) is infinite, then \( {m}^{ * }\left( {A \cup B}\right) \) is also infinite by Proposition 1.1.8 Thus, in this case the result is true by the convention that \( + \infty \leq + \infty \) . So, assume both \( {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \)...

Because of the above discussion, we only need to prove that if \( S = \left\{ {I}_{k}\right\} \) is a countably infinite covering of \( I \) by closed intervals, then \( v\left( I\right) \leq \sigma \left( S\right) \) .

Proof. If \( {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \) is finite, we can use the open set \( G \) from the previous theorem. In the case that \( {m}^{ * }\left( A\right) \) is infinite, use \( G = {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) .

Let \( I \subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) be a closed interval in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \). Then \( I \) is the union of its interior, which is an open set, and its sides.
The open interior is measurable by Example 1.2.3. The sides are subsets of hyperplanes, which have Lebesgue outer measure 0. Thus, the sides have Lebesgue outer measure 0 and are Lebesgue measurable by Example 1.2.4 Consequently, \( I \) is the countable union of measurable sets. By Theorem 1.2.5, \( I \) is Lebesgue m...
