Ultra filter
A filer $\mathcal{F}$ containing either $Y$ or $Y^\complement$ for any
$Y \subseteq X$.
Two days ago, I spent an afternoon to understand Dudley’s proof of this little
result.
A filter is contained in some ultrafilter. A filter is an ultrafilter iff
it’s maximal.
At the first glance, I didn’t even understand the organisation of the proof!
I’m going to rephrase it for future reference.
only if: let $\mathcal{F}$ be an ultrafilter contained in another filter
$\mathcal{G}$. If $\mathcal{F}$ isn’t maximal, let $Y \in \mathcal{G}
\setminus \mathcal{F}$. Since $\mathcal{F}$ is an ultrafilter, either $Y \in
\mathcal{F}$ or $Y^\complement \in \mathcal{F}$. By construction of $Y$, only
the later option is possible, so $Y^\complement \in \mathcal{G}$ by hypothesis,
but this contradicts our assumption $Y \in \mathcal{G}$: $\varnothing = Y \cap
Y^\complement \in \mathcal{G}$, which is false since $\mathcal{G}$ is a
filter.

Problem
To show that a measure $\mu$ defined on a metric space $(S,d)$ is regular.
outer regularity: approximation by inner closed sets
inner regularity: approximation by outer open sets
Discussion
Since this problem involves all borel sets $A \in \mathcal{B}(S)$, the direct
way $\forall A \in \mathcal{B}(S), \dots$ won’t work. We have to use the
indirect way: denote $$\mathcal{C} = \lbrace A \in \mathcal{B}(S) \mid
\mathinner{\text{desired properties}} \dots \rbrace.$$ Show that

Motivation
$$ \gdef\vois#1#2{\mathcal{V}_{#1}(#2)} $$
Nets and filters are used for describing convergence in a non-metric space $X$.
Denote the collection of (open) neighbourhoods of $x \in X$ by $$\vois{X}{x}$$.
Definitions and examples
Directed set
A partially ordered set $I$ such that
$$\forall i, j \in I: i \le j, \exists k \in I: k \ge j.$$
Net
A function in $X^I$, where $I$ is a directed set.
example: any sequence in $X^\N$
Convergence of nets to a point
$x_i \to x$ if
$$\forall A \in \vois{X}{x}, \exists j \in I: \forall k \ge j, x_k \in A.$$
example: absolute convergence of series ($I$ is the collection of finite
subsets of $\N$, finite sum $\Sigma \in \R^I$.)
example: Riemann integral ($I$ is the collection of tagged partitions,
the partial order doesn’t depend on tags, $\int \in \R^I$.)
Filter base
A nonempty collection $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \mathcal{P}(X) \setminus
{\varnothing}$ such that
$$\forall F,G \in \mathcal{F},\exists H \in \mathcal{F}: H \subseteq F \cap G.$$
(contains nonempty part of intersection)
Difference with topological basis: sets have to be nonempty here
Filter
A filter base $\mathcal{F}$ so that
contains supersets: $\forall F \in \mathcal{F}, \forall G \supseteq F, G \in \mathcal{F}$
contains intersection: $\forall F, G \in \mathcal {F}, F \cap G \in \mathcal{F}$
The image of a filter $\mathcal{F}$ under a function $f$ is also a filter,
denoted by $f[[\mathcal{F}]]$.
I didn’t plan to test whether Staticman v3 work on GitHub since it’s
proprietary. However, from Staticman issues #222 and #227,
we know that the official server doesn’t respond to
GET /v2/connnect/<USERNAME>/<REPONAME>
To help others, I self-advertised my own Staticman API instance and the
migration to GitLab pages. Unfortunately, nobody had managed to
create a GitHub repo running on my API instance. To convince others that it’s
also working on GitHub, I decided to create a minimal GitHub repo.
I’ve also heard about the completion of a metric space in a more
general setting. My professor once said that it suffices to view this proof
once throughout lifetime: the proof itself wasn’t very useful.
The basic arithmetic properties of $\R$, as an equivalence class of Cauchy
sequences sharing the same limits, didn’t arouse our interests. That’s just
an extension of its rational counterpart due to some arithmetic properties of
limits.
To write math efficiently by automatically loading longer code with shorter
macro code.
For example, when I wrote Some Infinite Cardinality Identities, it
would be ten times more quicker and efficient to type \card{C} than to write
\mathop{\mathrm{card}}(C) all the time.
Changes committed to my repo
The current version of Beautiful Hugo is still using $\KaTeX$ v0.7,
which doesn’t support macros in auto-rendering. It would be inconvenient to
include the macros after invoking $\KaTeX$’s render function.
