The operator norm of the composition of linear bounded operators between Banach spaces.

The set $B(X, Y )$ is a normed linear space with the operator norm.



If $T ∈ B(X, Y)$ and $S ∈ B(Y, Z)$ for $X, Y , Z$ normed linear spaces, then the composition
$ST ∈ B(X, Z)$ and $|ST| ≤ |S| |T|.$



I don't know how to prove this.



Here is my trial.



Since the composition if exist of 2 linear operators is a linear operator then $ST$ is a linear operator. To prove it is bounded we prove that $|ST x| < infty$.



if $|T| = sup_{|x|=1}|Tx| < infty$.



and $|S| = sup_{|y|=1}|Sy| < infty$.



I don't know how to continue.

          Let $0 neq x in X$. Then you have that $Vert frac{x}{Vert x Vert} Vert = 1$. Thus we obtain
          $$frac{1}{Vert x Vert} Vert Tx Vert = Vert Tfrac{x}{Vert x Vert} Vert leq Vert T Vert.$$
          This implies shows that $Vert Tx Vert leq Vert T Vert Vert x Vert$ for all $x in X$. (Note: For $x = 0$ this is trivial.) Now from this it follows that
          $$ Vert STx Vert leq Vert S Vert Vert T x Vert leq Vert S Vert Vert T Vert Vert x Vert qquad text{for all } x in X.$$
          Finally, this implies
          $$ Vert ST Vert = sup_{Vert x Vert = 1} Vert STx Vert leq sup_{Vert x Vert = 1} Vert S Vert Vert T Vert Vert x Vert = Vert S Vert Vert T Vert$$
          and you are since the equality above implies $Vert ST Vert leq Vert S Vert Vert T Vert < infty$.

                    Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

                    Image
                    28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form?

                    A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

                    Image
                    3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
