Row compactness is compactoid image #
Let K be a nontrivially normed field and I, J discrete index types. For a continuous
linear map u : C₀(J, K) →L[K] C₀(I, K) between model spaces, the i-th coordinates of the
vectors u x with ‖x‖ ≤ 1 include the entries u.matrixCoeff i j = u (single j 1) i of the
i-th row of its matrix, and over an ultrametric field they are bounded by the row norm
rᵢ(u). A subset of C₀(I, K) is compactoid exactly when it is bounded and its coordinates
decay uniformly (TauCeti.isCompactoidSet_iff_isBounded_and_exists_finset_forall_norm_lt), so
over an ultrametric field u is row compact exactly when it maps the closed unit ball to a
compactoid set (ContinuousLinearMap.isRowCompact_iff_hasCompactoidImage). Neither completeness,
nor discreteness of the valuation, nor spherical completeness is used.
Together with Serre's criterion ContinuousLinearMap.isRowCompact_iff_isCompletelyContinuous
this identifies, between model spaces over a complete ultrametric field, the three notions of
compact operator: row compactness, compactoid image and complete continuity. Every topologically
compact operator between model spaces is row compact (IsCompactOperator.isRowCompact), while
over a field such as ℂ_p, which is not locally compact, the converse fails already for the
identity of C₀(I, K) with I a singleton.
The ultrametric inequality is needed for the converse direction: over ℝ, the operator on
C₀(ℕ, ℝ) with entries aᵢⱼ = 1 / (i + 1) for j ≤ i and 0 otherwise has row norms
1 / (i + 1), but maps the vectors that are 1 on {0, …, n} and 0 elsewhere to vectors whose
first n + 1 coordinates are 1.
