Continuity of maps into a restricted product #
The topology of a restricted product Πʳ i, [R i, A i] is the final topology over its principal
stages Πʳ i, [R i, A i]_[𝓟 T], T cofinite, and is in general strictly finer than the topology
induced from the full product Π i, R i. Continuity of a map into a restricted product therefore
does not follow from continuity of its coordinates. This file gives continuity and convergence
criteria for maps controlled by one principal stage, and a stagewise continuity criterion using
the universal property of the restricted product.
continuous_restrictedProduct_iff_of_forall_mem: a map whose values all lie in one principal stage of the filter is continuous exactly when it is continuous into the full product.tendsto_restrictedProduct_iff_of_eventually_mem: for a family eventually in one principal stage, convergence to any point is equivalent to coordinatewise convergence.continuous_restrictedProduct_of_apply_eq_of_isOpen: for a finite setSof indices, a map recombining an arbitrary family of coordinates onSwith a restricted-product element away fromSis continuous, provided the reference sets away fromSare open. Its domain is a product with a restricted-product factor, so the openness hypothesis is that of Mathlib's universal property with parameters,RestrictedProduct.continuous_dom_prod_left, and it is asked only at the indices outsideS. This is the topological input for the inverse of the decomposition of a restricted product into the plain product over a finite set of indices times the restricted product away from it. The openness hypothesis cannot be dropped: seenot_continuous_restrictedProduct_of_apply_eq_rat_bot.

A map into a restricted product whose values all lie in a principal stage T of the filter
is continuous exactly when it is continuous as a map into the full product Π i, R i.
For a family eventually lying in one principal stage of the filter, convergence in the restricted product to any point is equivalent to convergence of every coordinate. No openness assumption on the reference sets is needed.
For a finite set S of indices, a map that recombines a family of coordinates on S with a
restricted-product element away from S into an element of the full restricted product is
continuous when the reference sets away from S are open. The map is pinned by its two coordinate
formulas: on S it returns the given coordinate, and away from S it returns the coordinate of
the given restricted-product element.
