Definitions about filters

A filter on a type α is a collection of sets of α which contains the whole α, is upwards-closed, and is stable under intersection. Filters are mostly used to abstract two related kinds of ideas:

• limits, including finite or infinite limits of sequences, finite or infinite limits of functions at a point or at infinity, etc...
• things happening eventually, including things happening for large enough n : ℕ, or near enough a point x, or for close enough pairs of points, or things happening almost everywhere in the sense of measure theory. Dually, filters can also express the idea of things happening often: for arbitrarily large n, or at a point in any neighborhood of given a point etc...

Main definitions

• Filter : filters on a set;
• Filter.principal, 𝓟 s : filter of all sets containing a given set;
• Filter.map, Filter.comap : operations on filters;
• Filter.Tendsto : limit with respect to filters;
• Filter.Eventually : f.Eventually p means {x | p x} ∈ f;
• Filter.Frequently : f.Frequently p means {x | ¬p x} ∉ f;
• filter_upwards [h₁, ..., hₙ] : a tactic that takes a list of proofs hᵢ : sᵢ ∈ f, and replaces a goal s ∈ f with ∀ x, x ∈ s₁ → ... → x ∈ sₙ → x ∈ s;
• Filter.NeBot f : a utility class stating that f is a non-trivial filter.
• Filter.IsBounded r f: the filter f is eventually bounded w.r.t. the relation r, i.e. eventually, it is bounded by some uniform bound. r will be usually instantiated with (· ≤ ·) or (· ≥ ·).
• Filter.IsCobounded r f states that the filter f does not tend to infinity w.r.t. r. This is also called frequently bounded. Will be usually instantiated with (· ≤ ·) or (· ≥ ·).

Notations

• ∀ᶠ x in f, p x : f.Eventually p;
• ∃ᶠ x in f, p x : f.Frequently p;
• f =ᶠ[l] g : ∀ᶠ x in l, f x = g x;
• f ≤ᶠ[l] g : ∀ᶠ x in l, f x ≤ g x;
• 𝓟 s : Filter.Principal s, localized in Filter.

Implementation Notes

Important note: Bourbaki requires that a filter on X cannot contain all sets of X, which we do not require. This gives Filter X better formal properties, in particular a bottom element ⊥ for its lattice structure, at the cost of including the assumption [NeBot f] in a number of lemmas and definitions.

structure Filter (α : Type u_1) : Type u_1

A filter F on a type α is a collection of sets of α which contains the whole α, is upwards-closed, and is stable under intersection. We do not forbid this collection to be all sets of α.

• sets : Set (Set α)

  The set of sets that belong to the filter.

• univ_sets : Set.univ ∈ self.sets

  The set Set.univ belongs to any filter.

• sets_of_superset {x y : Set α} : x ∈ self.sets → x ⊆ y → y ∈ self.sets

  If a set belongs to a filter, then its superset belongs to the filter as well.

• inter_sets {x y : Set α} : x ∈ self.sets → y ∈ self.sets → x ∩ y ∈ self.sets

  If two sets belong to a filter, then their intersection belongs to the filter as well.

def Filter.seq {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} (f : Filter (α → β)) (g : Filter α) : Filter β

def Filter.lift {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} (f : Filter α) (g : Set α → Filter β) : Filter β

A variant on bind using a function g taking a set instead of a member of α. This is essentially a push-forward along a function mapping each set to a filter.

Equations

• f.lift g = ⨅ s ∈ f, g s

def Filter.lift' {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} (f : Filter α) (h : Set α → Set β) : Filter β

Specialize lift to functions Set α → Set β. This can be viewed as a generalization of map. This is essentially a push-forward along a function mapping each set to a set.

def Filter.IsBounded {α : Type u_1} (r : α → α → Prop) (f : Filter α) : Prop

f.IsBounded r: the filter f is eventually bounded w.r.t. the relation r, i.e. eventually, it is bounded by some uniform bound. r will be usually instantiated with (· ≤ ·) or (· ≥ ·).

Equations

f.IsBoundedUnder (≺) u: the image of the filter f under u is eventually bounded w.r.t. the relation ≺, i.e. eventually, it is bounded by some uniform bound.

Equations

• Filter.IsBoundedUnder r f u = Filter.IsBounded r (Filter.map u f)

def Filter.IsCobounded {α : Type u_1} (r : α → α → Prop) (f : Filter α) : Prop

IsCobounded (≺) f states that the filter f does not tend to infinity w.r.t. ≺. This is also called frequently bounded. Will be usually instantiated with ≤ or ≥.

There is a subtlety in this definition: we want f.IsCobounded to hold for any f in the case of complete lattices. This will be relevant to deduce theorems on complete lattices from their versions on conditionally complete lattices with additional assumptions. We have to be careful in the edge case of the trivial filter containing the empty set: the other natural definition ¬ ∀ a, ∀ᶠ n in f, a ≤ n would not work as well in this case.

Equations

• Filter.IsCobounded r f = ∃ (b : α), ∀ (a : α), (∀ᶠ (x : α) in f, r x a) → r b a

def Filter.IsCoboundedUnder {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} (r : α → α → Prop) (f : Filter β) (u : β → α) : Prop

IsCoboundedUnder (≺) f u states that the image of the filter f under the map u does not tend to infinity w.r.t. ≺. This is also called frequently bounded. Will be usually instantiated with ≤ or ≥.

Equations

• Filter.IsCoboundedUnder r f u = Filter.IsCobounded r (Filter.map u f)

def Mathlib.Tactic.filterUpwards : Lean.ParserDescr

filter_upwards [h₁, ⋯, hₙ] replaces a goal of the form s ∈ f and terms h₁ : t₁ ∈ f, ⋯, hₙ : tₙ ∈ f with ∀ x, x ∈ t₁ → ⋯ → x ∈ tₙ → x ∈ s. The list is an optional parameter, [] being its default value.

filter_upwards [h₁, ⋯, hₙ] with a₁ a₂ ⋯ aₖ is a short form for { filter_upwards [h₁, ⋯, hₙ], intros a₁ a₂ ⋯ aₖ }.

filter_upwards [h₁, ⋯, hₙ] using e is a short form for { filter_upwards [h1, ⋯, hn], exact e }.

Combining both shortcuts is done by writing filter_upwards [h₁, ⋯, hₙ] with a₁ a₂ ⋯ aₖ using e. Note that in this case, the aᵢ terms can be used in e.
