The topology on the standard simplex #

In this file, we define a topology on the standard simplex StdSimplex R M. When M is finite, this is the topology that is induced by the embedding StdSimplex R M → (M → R). In general, we use the supremum of the coinduced topologies for the maps StdSimplex.map f : StdSimplex R ι → StdSimplex R M where f : ι → M is a map from a finite set ι.

This is the topology on StdSimplex R M when M is a possibly infinite type. The lemma StdSimplex.continuous_iff shows that this topology is characterized by the fact that a map f from StdSimplex R M is continuous iff for any map g : ι → M with a finite ι, the composition f ∘ map g : StdSimplex R ι → _ is continuous, where StdSimplex R ι is equipped with the topology that is induced by the embedding StdSimplex R ι → (ι → R).

Same as StdSimplex.continuous_iff but we only consider inclusions of finite subsets of M instead of all maps ι → M for arbitrary finite types ι.
