If distinct points $x,y$ of a dynamical system on a compact metric space satisfy $d(T^{n}x,T^{n}y)\to 0$ in one compatible metric, no compatible metric can make $T$ an isometry. On a compact space, all compatible metrics give the same asymptotic-pair property by uniform continuity, whereas an isometry preserves the strictly positive distance between distinct points. In a full shift, a constant sequence and a sequence differing at just one coordinate converge to each other under forward shifts, proving this obstruction directly in the product topology.

For every fixed mesh $1/k$, independent increments with the normal distribution imply increments of absolute value greater than one occur infinitely often almost surely, by the second Borel-Cantelli lemma. A countable intersection over $k$ contradicts uniform continuity on $[0,\infty )$.

For a uniformly elliptic operator $Lu=a^{ij}(x)D_{ij}u$ with continuous coefficients and $W⋐U$,Uniform continuity lets one freeze $a^{ij}$ on sufficiently small open balls and use the perturbation of a constant-coefficient elliptic second-derivative estimate. A partition of unity and cutoff functions reduce the global interior estimate to finitely many such balls; derivatives of the cutoffs produce only the displayed lower-order norm.

Along the dyadic partitions of an interval of $[0,1]$, the sums ${\sum }_i|{\Delta }_{i}M{|}^p$ of a continuous local martingale tend to zero in probability for $p>2$. If $0<p<2$ and these sums are eventually bounded almost surely, then $M$ is constant on $[0,1]$: compare them with the sums defining quadratic variation, using the maximum increment, which tends to zero by uniform continuity.

For a compact metric space with a continuous map $T$, suppose $y$ is a minimal point and $x,y$ are proximal. Every neighborhood $U$ of $y$ admits arbitrarily large $n$ with $T^{n}x,T^{n}y\in U$. First shrink $U$ to an open neighborhood, then choose an open $V$ with $y\in V$ and $\overline{V}\subseteq U$. Minimality and compactness give a finite cover of the orbit closure of $y$ by $T^{-j}V$, $0\le j\le J$. Uniform continuity of these finitely many iterates turns a sufficiently close proximal encounter into a common visit to $U$ after at most $J$ more steps. If the proximal encounters occur only at bounded times, a zero distance at some time makes the two future orbits coincide, and minimality then gives arbitrarily late common visits. Thus injectivity is not needed for this general lemma.

If $\Vert {\rho }_n^{\prime }-{\rho }^{\otimes n}{\Vert }_1\to 0$, thenIn finite dimension this follows from multipartite superadditivity of quantum relative entropy, additivity of quantum relative entropy, contraction of trace distance under partial trace, and uniform continuity on the compact state space.

The modulus of continuity of a function $f$ isIt quantifies uniform continuity by recording the largest oscillation of $f$ across pairs of points at distance at most $\delta$.
