Solid sphere surfaces in `Space d`

The solid sphere is the closed unit ball in `Space d`. Unlike the line or the spherical shell, it is a region of positive ambient volume, so the measure associated with it is the ambient volume restricted to the ball rather than a pushforward of a lower-dimensional measure. The requirement that the surface has ambient measure zero is therefore not applicable here, and is replaced by a statement that the solid sphere has positive ambient volume.

definition

Inclusion of the solid unit ball BdB^d into Space d\text{Space } d

For a given dimension dd, let Space d\text{Space } d be the dd-dimensional Euclidean space with origin 00. The closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)\bar{B}(0, 1) is the set of points xSpace dx \in \text{Space } d such that dist(x,0)1\text{dist}(x, 0) \leq 1. The function `Space.solidSphere` is the canonical inclusion map ι:Bˉ(0,1)Space d\iota: \bar{B}(0, 1) \hookrightarrow \text{Space } d, which maps each point xx in the unit ball to itself in the ambient space.

theorem

The inclusion map of the solid unit ball into Space d\text{Space } d is injective.

For any natural number dd, the canonical inclusion map ι:Bˉ(0,1)Space d\iota: \bar{B}(0, 1) \hookrightarrow \text{Space } d, which maps each point in the closed unit ball of the dd-dimensional Euclidean space to itself in the ambient space, is injective.

theorem

Continuity of the inclusion map for the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, let Space d\text{Space } d be the dd-dimensional Euclidean space and Bˉ(0,1)Space d\bar{B}(0, 1) \subset \text{Space } d be the closed unit ball centered at the origin. The inclusion map ι:Bˉ(0,1)Space d\iota: \bar{B}(0, 1) \to \text{Space } d (denoted as `solidSphere d`) is continuous.

theorem

The inclusion of the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d is a measurable embedding

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, the inclusion map ι:Bˉ(0,1)Space d\iota: \bar{B}(0, 1) \hookrightarrow \text{Space } d, which maps the closed unit ball centered at the origin to the dd-dimensional Euclidean space Space d\text{Space } d, is a measurable embedding. Both the ball and the ambient space are equipped with their respective Borel σ\sigma-algebras.

theorem

x1\|x\| \leq 1 for points xx in the solid unit ball Bˉ(0,1)\bar{B}(0, 1)

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, let Space d\text{Space } d be the dd-dimensional Euclidean space. For any point xx in the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)\bar{B}(0, 1) centered at the origin, the Euclidean norm of xx satisfies: x1 \|x\| \leq 1

definition

Measure of the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d

For a dd-dimensional Euclidean space Space d\text{Space } d, the measure μ\mu is defined as the restriction of the ambient Lebesgue volume measure λ\lambda to the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)\bar{B}(0, 1), which is the set of points xSpace dx \in \text{Space } d satisfying x1\|x\| \leq 1.

instance

The measure of the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d is finite

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, the measure on the dd-dimensional Euclidean space Space d\text{Space } d defined as the restriction of the ambient Lebesgue volume measure to the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)={xSpace dx1}\bar{B}(0, 1) = \{x \in \text{Space } d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\} is a finite measure. That is, the total measure of the space under this measure is finite.

instance

The solid sphere measure has temperate growth

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, let μ\mu be the measure on the dd-dimensional Euclidean space Space d\text{Space } d defined as the restriction of the Lebesgue volume measure to the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)={xSpace dx1}\bar{B}(0, 1) = \{x \in \text{Space } d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\}. Then μ\mu has temperate growth.

definition

Tempered distribution of the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, the tempered distribution solidSphereDist(d)\text{solidSphereDist}(d) is the continuous linear map from the Schwartz space S(Space d,R)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}) to R\mathbb{R} that maps a test function ff to its integral over the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)={xSpace dx1}\bar{B}(0, 1) = \{x \in \text{Space } d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\} with respect to the ambient Lebesgue volume measure.

theorem

solidSphereDist(d)(f)=fd(solidSphereMeasure d)\text{solidSphereDist}(d)(f) = \int f \, d(\text{solidSphereMeasure } d)

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N} and any test function ff in the Schwartz space S(Space d,R)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}), the value of the tempered distribution solidSphereDist(d)\text{solidSphereDist}(d) applied to ff is equal to the integral of ff over the space with respect to the measure solidSphereMeasure(d)\text{solidSphereMeasure}(d): solidSphereDist(d)(f)=Space df(x)d(solidSphereMeasure d)(x) \text{solidSphereDist}(d)(f) = \int_{\text{Space } d} f(x) \, d(\text{solidSphereMeasure } d)(x) where solidSphereMeasure(d)\text{solidSphereMeasure}(d) is the Lebesgue volume measure restricted to the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)Space d\bar{B}(0, 1) \subset \text{Space } d.

theorem

The solid sphere distribution solidSphereDist\text{solidSphereDist} as an integral over the unit ball Bˉ(0,1)\bar{B}(0, 1)

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N} and any test function ff in the Schwartz space S(Space d,R)\mathcal{S}(\text{Space } d, \mathbb{R}), the tempered distribution solidSphereDist(d)\text{solidSphereDist}(d) applied to ff is equal to the integral of ff over the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)Space d\bar{B}(0, 1) \subset \text{Space } d with respect to the ambient volume: solidSphereDist(d)(f)=x1f(x)dx \text{solidSphereDist}(d)(f) = \int_{\|x\| \leq 1} f(x) \, dx where Bˉ(0,1)={xSpace dx1}\bar{B}(0, 1) = \{x \in \text{Space } d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\}.

theorem

The volume of the closed unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d is strictly positive (vol(Bˉ(0,1))>0\text{vol}(\bar{B}(0, 1)) > 0)

For any natural number dd, the volume (Lebesgue measure) of the closed unit ball centered at the origin with radius 11 in Space d\text{Space } d is strictly positive.

theorem

The total measure of the solid unit ball in Space d\text{Space } d is strictly positive (0<solidSphereMeasure d(univ)0 < \text{solidSphereMeasure } d(\text{univ}))

For any natural number dd, the total measure of the dd-dimensional space Space d\text{Space } d under the solid sphere measure is strictly positive. Here, the solid sphere measure is defined as the restriction of the ambient Lebesgue volume measure to the closed unit ball Bˉ(0,1)={xSpace dx1}\bar{B}(0, 1) = \{x \in \text{Space } d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\}.
