The Summation Map on Real-Valued Maps over a Finite Set, and the Dot Product, Euclidean Norm and Euclidean Distance as Maps

Summation over a finite set is a map from the real-valued maps on that set to the reals; consequently the dot product, the Euclidean norm and the Euclidean distance on RnR^n are maps, each uniquely determined by its values.

Statement

In the setting of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces, with maps and their values as in Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation §maps.

Let BB be a finite set, RB\mathbb{R}^{B} the set of maps from BB to R\mathbb{R}, and sums over BB as in Commutative Rings, Fields and Ordered Fields: Standard Notation §rings. There is exactly one map ΣB:RB→R\Sigma_{B}:\mathbb{R}^{B}\to\mathbb{R} with ΣB(a)=∑k∈Ba(k)\Sigma_{B}(a)=\sum_{k\in B}a(k) for every a∈RBa\in\mathbb{R}^{B}.

In the clauses dot-product, norm and distance, let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, with the difference of Euclidean Space Rn\mathbb{R}^n: n-Tuples of Real Numbers with Their Componentwise Operations §operations, the dot product and the Euclidean norm ∥⋅∥\lVert\cdot\rVert on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}.

There is exactly one map f:Rn×Rn→Rf:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} with f(x,y)=x⋅yf(x,y)=x\cdot y for all x,y∈Rnx,y\in\mathbb{R}^{n}.

There is exactly one map g:Rn→Rg:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} with g(x)=∥x∥g(x)=\lVert x\rVert for every x∈Rnx\in\mathbb{R}^{n}.

There is exactly one map h:Rn×Rn→Rh:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} with h(x,y)=∥x−y∥h(x,y)=\lVert x-y\rVert for all x,y∈Rnx,y\in\mathbb{R}^{n}.
