How to prove $vertbulletvertcircpi^{-1}$ is a norm












2












$begingroup$


Suppose the seminorm on X is real valued, $U=Xbigcaplbrace x:vert xvert =0rbrace$, Y=X/U, and $pi:Xrightarrow Y$ is the canonical projection.



I want to show that $vertbulletvertcircpi^{-1}$ is a norm on Y.



But I do not know how to prove that $vertbulletvertcircpi^{-1}(y_1+y_2)le vertbulletvertcircpi^{-1}(y_1)+vertbulletvertcircpi^{-1}(y_2)$, but it is one of the necessary condition, right?

    The inverse of the projection map isn’t necessarily well-defined. If it were then you’d just take advantage of the fact that the semi-norm has the triangle inequality property that you’re looking for in building the norm. Moreover, I would like to mention that the existence of a semi-norm is not enough to build a norm on a general topological vector space.

You have a seminorm $|cdot|$ on $X$ and define
$$
|pi(x)|=|x|
$$

over $Y=X/U$, where $U={xin X:|x|=0}$ ($U$ is known to be a subspace of $X$). Every element of $Y$ is of the form $pi(x)$ for some $xin X$.



First of all, you have to prove that $|cdot|$ is well defined on $Y$. If $pi(x)=pi(x')$, then $x-x'in U$, so
$$
|x|le |x-x'|+|x'|=|x'|
$$

and, similarly, $|x'|le|x|$. Thus $|x|=|x'|$ and the proof is complete.



The proof of the seminorm properties is essentially trivial; for the triangle inequality,
$$
|pi(x)+pi(y)|=|pi(x+y)|=|x+y|le|x|+|y|=|pi(x)|+|pi(y)|
$$

and similarly for the other properties. We have a norm because
$$
|pi(x)|=0 iff |x|=0 iff xin U iff pi(x)=pi(0)
$$

so $|pi(x)|=0$ implies $pi(x)=pi(0)$.
