Sublevel sets of the gauge as dilates #
For a convex neighbourhood s of 0 in a real topological vector space, Mathlib's
gauge_le_one_iff_mem_closure identifies the sublevel set {x | gauge s x ≤ 1} with the closure
of s. This file records the dilated form: for 0 < t, the sublevel set {x | gauge s x ≤ t} is
t • closure s, which is also the closure of the dilate t • s
(TauCeti.setOfPred_gauge_le_eq_closure_smul_of_pos); for a bounded s the identity extends to
t = 0 (TauCeti.setOfPred_gauge_le_eq_closure_smul), via the zero-gauge characterization
TauCeti.gauge_le_zero_iff_mem_closure_zero. For a convex body,
which is closed, this turns bounds on the gauge into membership in a dilate of the body
(ConvexBody.gauge_le_iff_mem_smul), which is how successive minima are stated. For such a
body, the gauge is also positive away from 0 (ConvexBody.gauge_pos_iff). The gauge of the
preimage of a set under a linear map is the gauge of the set at the image point
(LinearMap.gauge_preimage).

For a convex neighbourhood s of 0 and 0 < t, the gauge of x is at most t exactly when
x lies in the dilate t • closure s.
For a convex neighbourhood s of 0 and 0 < t, the sublevel set {x | gauge s x ≤ t} is
the closure of the dilate t • s.
For a bounded neighbourhood s of 0, the gauge of x is at most 0 exactly when x lies in
closure {0}. No separation axiom or convexity is needed.
For a bounded convex neighbourhood s of 0 and 0 ≤ t, the sublevel set
{x | gauge s x ≤ t} is the closure of the dilate t • s. At t = 0 both sides are
closure {0}, which is {0} in a T1 space. See
TauCeti.setOfPred_gauge_le_eq_closure_smul_of_pos for 0 < t, which needs no boundedness.
For a convex body K with 0 in its interior and 0 < t, the gauge of x is at most t
exactly when x lies in the dilate t • K.
For a convex body K with 0 in its interior, the gauge of x is positive exactly when
x ≠ 0.
