Completely metrizable theorem #813

Open StevenClontz opened 1 day ago

StevenClontz commented 1 day ago

Whether the metric fan is completely metrizable came up in our call today. Indeed, for any almost-discrete metrizable space we can choose a metric where the distance between any two isolated points is greater than some fixed $\epsilon>0$, so any Cauchy sequence is either eventually constant or converges to the one non-isolated point. (Constructively: given some metric $d(x,y)$, take $d\prime(x,y)$ that equals 1 when $x$ and $y$ are both isolated and $\min(1,d(x,y))$ otherwise.) Since this is a theorem we can add later, I see no need to add a trait now.

This is pending the introduction of "almost discrete". See #807.

From that conversation, I'd pitch these theorems:

I think http://at.yorku.ca/b/ask-a-topologist/2002/0254.htm says P63 implies strong Choquet, so we could weaken the assumptions of T132.
