Normed Division Ring Operations are Continuous/Addition

Theorem
Let $\struct {R, +, *, \norm {\,\cdot\,} }$ be a normed division ring.

Let $d$ be the metric induced by the norm $\norm {\,\cdot\,}$.

Let $p \in \R_{\ge 1} \cup \set \infty$.

Let $d_p$ be the $p$-product metric on $R \times R$.

Then the mapping:
 * $+ : \struct {R \times R, d_p} \to \struct{R,d}$

is continuous.

Proof
By $p$-Product Metric Induces Product Topology and Continuous Mapping is Continuous on Induced Topological Spaces, it suffices to consider the case $p = \infty$.

Let $\tuple {x_0, y_0} \in R \times R$.

Let $\epsilon > 0$ be given.

Let $\tuple {x, y} \in R \times R$ such that:
 * $\map {d_\infty} {\tuple {x, y}, \tuple{x_0, y_0} } < \dfrac \epsilon 2$

By the definition of the product metric $d_\infty$ then:
 * $\max \set {\map d {x, x_0}, \map d {y, y_0} } < \dfrac \epsilon 2$

or equivalently:
 * $\map d {x, x_0} < \dfrac \epsilon 2$
 * $\map d {y, y_0} < \dfrac \epsilon 2$

Then:

Since $\tuple {x_0, y_0}$ and $\epsilon$ were arbitrary, by the definition of continuity then the mapping:
 * $+ : \struct {R \times R, d_\infty} \to \struct {R, d}$

is continuous.
