Hidden Fiber Compactness

Abstract

The hidden fiber is closed, compact, and sequentially compact coordinatewise.

Theorem 1.1 (The hidden fiber is compact in every equivalent sense).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Solenoid/HiddenFiberCompact.hiddenFiber_closed_compact_seqCompact (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Continuity of the visible projection makes its zero fiber closed. The ambient solenoid is compact, so the fiber is compact. Its countable product topology is first countable, hence compactness gives a convergent subsequence; the formal coordinatewise convergence equivalence identifies this with the diagonal, layer-by-layer limit.
