Bounded bilinear maps and bounded scalar actions over a normed ring #
Over a seminormed commutative ring R, which need not be a field, an R-bilinear map β with
‖β x y‖ ≤ C * ‖x‖ * ‖y‖ is jointly continuous (LinearMap.continuous₂_of_bound), and so is a
scalar action with ‖r • m‖ ≤ C * ‖r‖ * ‖m‖ (TauCeti.continuousSMul_of_norm_smul_le). For an
R-algebra S, such a bound on the action makes the structure map bounded
(TauCeti.exists_norm_algebraMap_le_of_norm_smul_le).
A fibrewise linear change of coordinates (x, v) ↦ (x, e x v), with e continuous at a, tends
to (a, 0) at (a, 0) (ContinuousAt.tendsto_prodMk_clm_apply).
An R-bilinear map bounded by C * ‖x‖ * ‖y‖ is jointly continuous.
A scalar action bounded by C * ‖r‖ * ‖m‖ is continuous.
If the action of R on an R-algebra S is bounded, ‖r • s‖ ≤ C * ‖r‖ * ‖s‖, then so is
the structure map: ‖algebraMap R S r‖ ≤ C * ‖1‖ * ‖r‖.
A fibrewise linear change of coordinates (x, v) ↦ (x, e x v), with e continuous at a,
tends to (a, 0) at (a, 0).
