#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 07:57):

you need to iterate that transfinitely many times to have a T2 space

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 07:57):

and that would involve induction-recursion (is the name right?) which is stronger than Lean

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 07:58):

Why? What is the idea behind this definition

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 07:59):

by the way, I think that the definition of T2 in mathlib is contrapositive of the right one

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 08:00):

which apparently nLab calls "weakly Hausdorff"

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 08:03):

also, I don't see any nonconstructivity in that proof

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 13:20):

I used not_forall

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 15:14):

Why? What is the idea behind this definition

quotient a lot until you get a T2 space, but don't quotient more than necessary

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 15:15):

what's the problem with Johannes's definition

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 15:15):

that it doesn't produce a T2 space

why

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 15:16):

like where does the proof break down

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 15:16):

You don't need proof principles stronger than lean. You just need to know that the process stops eventually, by bounding the space of possible relations

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 18:21):

although topospaces wiki is shamefully cavalier about defining an ordinal indexed sequence of topological spaces with direct limits and then just saying "take $h^\infty$" as if that were well defined

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 18:23):

In lean, it is an interesting example of an inductive predicate that is positive but not strictly positive

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 18:29):

inductive hausify : α → α → Prop
| refl : ∀ x, hausify x x
| trans : ∀ x y z, hausify x y → hausify y z → hausify x z
| haus : ∀x y, (∀ u v : set α, is_open u → is_open v →
x ∈ u → y ∈ v → ∃ z w, z ∈ u ∧ w ∈ v ∧ hausify z w) → hausify x y


This definition is monotone but not syntactically

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 18:39):

So here's how you can do the transfinite induction construction:

inductive hausify1 (haus : α → α → Prop) : α → α → Prop
| trans : ∀ x y z, hausify1 x y → hausify1 y z → hausify1 x z
| haus : ∀x y, (∀ u v : set α, is_open u → is_open v →
x ∈ u → y ∈ v → ∃ z w, z ∈ u ∧ w ∈ v ∧ haus z w) → hausify1 x y

inductive hausify_transfinite : (α → α → Prop) → Prop
| zero : hausify_transfinite eq
| succ : ∀ r, hausify_transfinite r → hausify_transfinite (hausify1 r)
| lim : ∀ R : set (α → α → Prop), (∀ r ∈ R, hausify_transfinite r) →
hausify_transfinite (hausify1 (λ x y, ∃ r ∈ R, (r : α → α → Prop) x y))

def hausify (x y : α) : Prop := ∃ r, hausify_transfinite r ∧ r x y


Needless to say I prefer your definition

I prefer yours

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 19:40):

this whole construction is doing something similar to yours, quotienting by all relations that are hausdorffish

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 19:41):

it's easier to say t2_space (quotient r) than all this

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 22:04):

can you define ε_0 using that?

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 22:04):

oh wait you already defined ordinal notations inductively

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 22:05):

wait no I'm confused

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:22):

This allows you to do transfinite iteration over a fixed type

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:23):

the key is the fact that it is all taking place in one complete lattice

I see

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 18 2018 at 22:23):

So you can't define ordinals using this zero-lim-succ

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:24):

You have to build an inductive Type to do that

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:24):

by the way epsilon_0 is the supremum of all ordinals with ordinal_notation

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:24):

in case you wanted to define it

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:25):

It is possible to extend ordinal notations to epsilon_0 and beyond using the veblen hierarchy, but I don't think anyone around here cares about large countable ordinals

#### Mario Carneiro (Oct 18 2018 at 22:27):

I think we also have what we need to define omega_1^CK using computable functions

#### Kevin Buzzard (Oct 19 2018 at 06:58):

Is this a reflection?
