Proof

Claim 1. Let x∈Xx\in X and let r>0r>0 be a real number. If v∈BdX(x,r)v\in B_{d_{X}}(x,r), that is dX(x,v)<rd_{X}(x,v)<r by the definition of the open ball, then dY(Φ(x),Φ(v))=dX(x,v)<rd_{Y}(\Phi(x),\Phi(v))=d_{X}(x,v)<r, so Φ(v)∈BdY(Φ(x),r)\Phi(v)\in B_{d_{Y}}(\Phi(x),r). This proves the inclusion from left to right. Conversely, let y∈BdY(Φ(x),r)y\in B_{d_{Y}}(\Phi(x),r). Since Φ\Phi is a bijection there is v∈Xv\in X with y=Φ(v)y=\Phi(v), and then

dX(x,v)=dY(Φ(x),Φ(v))=dY(Φ(x),y)<r,d_{X}(x,v)=d_{Y}(\Phi(x),\Phi(v))=d_{Y}(\Phi(x),y)<r ,

so v∈BdX(x,r)v\in B_{d_{X}}(x,r) and hence y∈Φ(BdX(x,r))y\in\Phi\bigl(B_{d_{X}}(x,r)\bigr).

Claim 2. We first show that Φ\Phi is continuous. Let W∈TdYW\in\mathcal{T}_{d_{Y}} and put U={x∈X:Φ(x)∈W}U=\{x\in X:\Phi(x)\in W\}. Let x∈Ux\in U. Since WW is open in (Y,dY)(Y,d_{Y}) and Φ(x)∈W\Phi(x)\in W, there is a real r>0r>0 with BdY(Φ(x),r)⊆WB_{d_{Y}}(\Phi(x),r)\subseteq W. By claim 1, Φ(BdX(x,r))=BdY(Φ(x),r)⊆W\Phi\bigl(B_{d_{X}}(x,r)\bigr)=B_{d_{Y}}(\Phi(x),r)\subseteq W, so every v∈BdX(x,r)v\in B_{d_{X}}(x,r) satisfies Φ(v)∈W\Phi(v)\in W, that is BdX(x,r)⊆UB_{d_{X}}(x,r)\subseteq U. Since x∈Ux\in U was arbitrary, UU is open in (X,dX)(X,d_{X}), that is U∈TdXU\in\mathcal{T}_{d_{X}}. Hence Φ\Phi is continuous.

The inverse map Φ−1:Y→X\Phi^{-1}:Y\to X is again a bijection, and it preserves distances: for y,y′∈Yy,y'\in Y, applying the hypothesis to u=Φ−1(y)u=\Phi^{-1}(y) and v=Φ−1(y′)v=\Phi^{-1}(y') gives

dX(Φ−1(y),Φ−1(y′))=dY(Φ(Φ−1(y)),Φ(Φ−1(y′)))=dY(y,y′).d_{X}\bigl(\Phi^{-1}(y),\Phi^{-1}(y')\bigr)=d_{Y}\bigl(\Phi(\Phi^{-1}(y)),\Phi(\Phi^{-1}(y'))\bigr)=d_{Y}(y,y').

So the argument just given, applied to Φ−1\Phi^{-1} in place of Φ\Phi and with the roles of (X,dX)(X,d_{X}) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_{Y}) interchanged, shows that Φ−1\Phi^{-1} is continuous.

Claim 3. Suppose first that AA is compact in XX. By claim 2 the map Φ\Phi is continuous, so claim 2 of Restriction of a Continuous Map, and Continuous Images of Compact Subsets shows that Φ(A)\Phi(A) is compact in YY. Suppose conversely that Φ(A)\Phi(A) is compact in YY. By claim 2 the map Φ−1\Phi^{-1} is continuous, so the same result, applied to Φ−1\Phi^{-1} and the subset Φ(A)\Phi(A) of YY, shows that {Φ−1(y):y∈Φ(A)}\{\Phi^{-1}(y):y\in\Phi(A)\} is compact in XX. Since Φ\Phi is a bijection, that set is AA.
