That is, a vector space equipped with an inner product, with the induced metric defined by the norm of the inner product, we have a metric space, which is complete. Reminds that complete mean that every Cauchy sequence, the sequence such that for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an $N$ such that for all $m,n\geq N$, we have $|x_m-x_n|<\epsilon$, converges to a limit.

As a side note we will use later, we also defined the Borel measure on a space, here we use the following definition specialized for the space (manifolds) we are interested in.

\begin{defn}
|
||||
\label{defn:Borel_measure}
|
||||
Borel measure:
|
||||
|
||||
Let $X$ be a topological space, then a Borel measure $\mu:\mathscr{B}(X)\to [0,\infty]$ on $X$ is a measure on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$ $\mathscr{B}(X)$ satisfying the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item $X \in \mathscr{B}$.
|
||||
\item Close under complement: If $A\subseteq X$, then $\mu(A^c)=\mu(X)-\mu(A)$
|
||||
\item Close under countable unions; If $E_1,E_2,\cdots$ are disjoint sets, then $\mu(\bigcup_{i=1}^\infty E_i)=\sum_{i=1}^\infty \mu(E_i)$
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
\end{defn}
|
||||
|
||||
In later sections, we will use Lebesgue measure, and Haar measure for various circumstances, their detailed definition may be introduced in later sections.

\section{Quantum physics and terminologies}
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, we will introduce some terminologies and theorems used in quantum physics that are relevant to our study. Assuming no prior knowledge of quantum physics, we will provide brief definitions and explanations for each term.
