+Let $(X,T)$ be a distal flow.

+    The sets

+    U_a(x) \coloneqq  \{x' : F(x,x') < a\}
+    \]
+    form the basis of a topology in $X$.
+    This topology is called the  \vocab{F-topology} on $X$.
+    In this setting, the original topology
+    is also called the \vocab{E-topology}.
+\end{theoremdef}
+This will follow from the following lemma:
+\begin{lemma}
+    \label{lem:ftophelper}
+    Let $F(x,x') < a$.
+    Then there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that
+    whenever $F(x',x'') < \epsilon$, then $F(x,x'') < a$.

+    We have to show that if $U_a(x_1) \cap U_b(x_2) \neq \emptyset$,

+    of sets of this kind.
+    Let $x' \in U_a(x_1)$.
+    Then by \yaref{lem:ftophelper},
+    there exists $\epsilon_1 > 0$ with $U_{\epsilon_1}(x') \subseteq U_a(x_1)$.
+    Similarly there exists  $\epsilon_2 > 0$
+    such that $U_{\epsilon_2}(x') \subseteq  U_b(x_2)$.
+    So for $\epsilon \le  \epsilon_1, \epsilon_2$,
+    we get $U_{\epsilon}(x') \subseteq U_a(x_1) \cap U_b(x_2)$.

+\begin{refproof}{lem:ftophelper}%
+    \footnote{This was not covered in class.}
+
+    Let $T = \bigcup_n  T_n$,% TODO Why does this exist?
+    $T_n$ compact, wlog.~$T_n \subseteq T_{n+1}$, and
+    let $G(x,x') \coloneqq  \{(gx,gx') : g \in G\} \subseteq  X \times X$.
+    Take $b$ such that $F(x,x') < b < a$.
+    Then $U = \{(u,u') \in G(x,x') : d(u,u') < b\}$
+    is open in $G(x,x')$
+    and since $F(x,x') < b$ we have $U \neq \emptyset$.
+    \begin{claim}
+        There exists $n$ such that
+        \[
+        \forall  (u,u') \in G(x,x').~T_n(u,u')\cap U \neq \emptyset.
+        \]
+    \end{claim}
+    \begin{subproof}
+        Suppose not.
+        Then for all $n$, there is $(u_n, u_n') \in G(x,x')$
+        with
+        \[T_n(u_n, u_n') \subseteq G(x,x') \setminus U.\]
+        Note that the RHS is closed.
+        For $m > n$ we have
+        $T_n(u_m, u'_m) \subseteq G(x,x') \setminus U$
+        since $T_n \subseteq T_m$.
+        By compactness of $X$,
+        there exists $v,v'$ and some subsequence
+        such that $(u_{n_k}, u'_{n_k}) \to  (v,v')$.
+
+        So for all $n$ we have $T_n(v,v') \subseteq  G(x,x') \setminus U$,
+        hence $T(v,v') \cap U = \emptyset$,
+        so $G(v,v') \cap U = \emptyset$.
+        But this is a contradiction as $\emptyset\neq U \subseteq G(v,v')$.
+    \end{subproof}
+    The map
+    \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+        T\times X&\longrightarrow & X \\
+        (t,x) &\longmapsto & tx
+    \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+    is continuous.
+    Since $T_n$ is compact,
+    we have that $\{(x,t) \mapsto tx : t \in T_n\}$
+    is equicontinuous for all $n$.
+    So there is $\epsilon > 0$ such that
+    $d(x_1,x_2) < \epsilon \implies d(tx_1, tx_2) < a -b$
+    for all $t \in T_n$.
+
+    Suppose now that $F(x', x'') < \epsilon$.
+    Then there is $t_0 \in T$ such that $d(t_0x', t_0x'') < \epsilon$,
+    hence $d(t t_0x', t t_0 x'') < a-b$ for all $t \in  T_n$.
+    Since $(t_0x, t_0x') \in G(x,x')$,
+    there is $t_1 \in T_n$
+    with $(t_1t_0x, t_1t_0x') \in U$,
+    i.e.~$d(t_1t_0x, t_1t_0x') < b$
+    and therefore
+    $F(x,x'') = d(t_1t_0x, t_1t_0x'') < a$.
+\end{refproof}
+
+Now assume $Z = \{\star\}$.
+We want to sketch a proof of \yaref{thm:l16:3} in this case,
+i.e.~show that if $(Z,T)$ is a proper factor of  a minimal distal flow
+ $(X,T)$ then there is another factor  $(Y,T)$ of  $(X,T)$
+ which is a proper isometric extension of $Z$.
+
+\begin{proof}[sketch] % TODO: Think about this
+\leavevmode
+\begin{enumerate}[1.]
+    \item For $x \in X$ define
+        \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+            F_x\colon X &\longrightarrow & \R \\
+            x' &\longmapsto & F(x,x').
+        \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+    \item Define an equivalence relation on $X$,
+        by $x_1 \sim x_2 :\iff \{x \in X : F_{x_1}(x) = F_{x_2}(x)\}$
+        is comeager in $X$\footnote{with respect to the E-topology}.
+        Then for all $g \in G$ we have
+        $x_1 \sim x_2 \implies gx_1 \sim ~ gx_2$.
+
+        Let $M \coloneqq  \{[x]_{\sim } : x \in X\} = \faktor{X}{\sim}$
+        bet the quotient space.
+        It is compact, second countable and Hausdorff.
+        Let $\pi\colon X\to M$ denote the quotient map.
+    \item $(Y,T) \mathbin{\text{\reflectbox{$\coloneqq$}}} (M,T)$
+        is an isometric flow:
+        \begin{enumerate}
+            \item For $a > 0$, $x,x' \in X$ let
+                \[
+                    W(x,x') \coloneqq  \{g \in G : F(x, gx') < a\}.
+                \]
+                This turns out to be a subbasis of a topology
+                which is coarser than the original topology on $G$.
+                The new topology makes $G$ compact.
+            \item Let $\theta(g)$ be the transformation of $M$
+                defined by $\theta(g) \pi(x) = \pi(gx)$.
+                This is well defined.
+                Let $H = \theta(G)$.
+                This is just a quotient of  $G$, $g \mapsto \theta(g)$
+                may not be injective.
+            \item One can show that $H$ is a topological group and $(M,H)$
+                is a flow.\footnote{This is non-trivial.}
+            \item Since $H$ is compact,
+                $(M,H)$ is equicontinuous, %\todo{We didn't define this}
+                i.e.~it is isometric.
+                In particular, $(M,T)$ is isometric.
+        \end{enumerate}
+    \item $M \neq  \{\star\}$, i.e.~$(M,T)$ is non-trivial:
+
+        Suppose towards a contradiction that $M = \{\star\}$,
+        i.e.~$x_1 \sim x_2$ for all $x_1,x_2 \in X$.
+        Fix $x_2$. For every $x_1 \in X$
+        we have that
+        \[
+        \{x : F(x_1,x) = F(x_2,x)\}
+        \]
+        is comeager.
+        Let $x_1$ be a point of continuity of $F_{x_2}$.
+        Let $\langle a_n : n < \omega \rangle$ be a sequence
+        of elements that set, i.e.~$F(x_1, a_n) = F(x_2, a_n)$,
+        such that $a_n \to x_1$.
+        So by the continuity of $F_{x_2}$ at $x_1$
+        \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+            \lim_{n \to \infty} F(x_2, a_n) &=& F(x_2, x_1)
+        \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+        and by the definition of $F$
+        \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
+            \lim_{n \to \infty} F(x_1,a_n) &=& F(x_1,x_1) = 0.
+        \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
+        So
+        \[
+        F(x_2,x_1) = \lim_{n \to \infty} F(x_2, a_n) = \lim_{n \to \infty}
+        F(x_1,a_n) = 0
+        \]
+        and by distality we get $x_1 = x_2$.
+        Since almost all points of $X$
+        are points of continuity of $F_{x_2}$
+        (\yaref{thm:usccomeagercont})
+        this implies that $X \setminus \{x_2\}$ is meager.
+        But then $X = \{\star\} \lightning$.
+\end{enumerate}

+\begin{theorem}\footnote{Not covered in class}

+    Let $X$ be a metric space

+    \todo{Missing figure: upper semicontinuous function}
+\end{theorem}
+\begin{proof}
+    Take $x$ such that $\Gamma$ is not continuous at $x$.
+    Then there is an $\epsilon > 0$ 
+    and $x_n \to x$ such that
+    $\Gamma(x_n) + \epsilon \le \Gamma(x)$.
+    Take $q \in \Q$ such that $\Gamma(x) - \epsilon < q < \Gamma(x)$.
+    Then let

+    \]
+    $X \setminus B_q = \{a \in X : \Gamma(a) <  q\}$
+    is open, i.e.~$B_q$ is closed.
+    Note that $x \in F_q \coloneqq B_q \setminus B_q^\circ$
+    and $B_q \setminus B_q^\circ$ is nwd
+    as it is closed and has empty interior,

+
+    Towards a contradiction assume that $Y$ is not isometric,

+    Then there are $(y_j), (y'_j) \in Y$

+    By equicontinuity of $(Y_\alpha, T)$,
+    $d_{Y_{\alpha}}(t_jz_j, t_jz'_j) \to  0$.
+    Wlog.~$(t_jz_j)$ and  $(t_jz'_j)$ converge.
+    Let $z^\ast$ be their limit.
+    On the one hand, by the triangle inequality we get

+    d(f^{-1}_\alpha(t_jz_j), f^{-1}_\alpha(t_jz_j')) > \underbrace{\epsilon}_{\mathclap{< d(t_jy_j, t_jy_j')}} - \overbrace{\frac{\epsilon}{4}}^{\mathclap{\text{Diameter of fiber}}}- \frac{\epsilon}{4} = \frac{\epsilon}{2}.
+    \]
+

+    we obtain

+    If $(Z_1,T)$ is an isometric extension of $(W,T)$,

+\end{lemma}
+\begin{proof}
+    % TODO TODO TODO Think about this
+    For $z_1,z_1' \in Z_1$ with
+    $w_1(z_1) = w_1(z_1')$ let
+    $\rho(z_1,z_1')$ be the metric on the fiber of $Z_1$ over $W$.
+    Set $\sigma(y,y') \coloneqq \rho(\pi_1(y), \pi_1(y'))$ whenever $\pi_2(y) = \pi_2(y')$.
+    In this case $w_2 \circ \pi_2(y) = w_2 \circ \pi_2(y')$
+    and $w_1 \circ \pi_1(y) = w_1 \circ \pi_1(y')$,
+    so $\sigma$ is well defined.
+    $\sigma$ is a semi-metric\footnote{Like a metric, but the distinct points can have distance $0$.}
+    on the fibers of $Y$ over $Z_2$
+    and invariant under $T$.
+
+    $\sigma$ is a metric, since if
+    if $\pi_2(y) = \pi_2(y')$ and $\sigma(y,y') = 0$,
+    then $\pi_1(y) = \pi_1(y')$ or $y = y'$.

+\begin{proof}
+    We only sketch the proof here.

+
+    In particular,
+    $(X'_{\xi+1}, T)$ is a factor of $(X_{\xi+1}, T)$.
+\end{proof}
+\begin{example}[{\cite[p. 513]{Furstenberg}}]
+    Let $X$ be the infinite torus
+    \[
+    X \coloneqq \{(\xi_1, \xi_2, \ldots) : \xi_i \in \C, |\xi_i| = 1\}.
+    \]
+    Let $\pi_n$ be the projection to the first $n$ coordinates
+    and $X_n \coloneqq \pi_n(X)$.
+
+    Let $\tau_1(\xi_1,\xi_2, \ldots, \xi_n, \ldots) = (e^{\i \alpha} \xi_1, \xi_1\xi_2, \ldots, \xi_{n-1}\xi_n, \ldots)$
+    where $\frac{\alpha}{\pi}$ is irrational.
+    Let $T = \langle \tau_1 \rangle \cong \Z$.
+
+    We will show that $(X_n,T)$ is minimal for all  $n$,
+    and so $(X,T)$ is minimal.
+    Furthermore $(X_{n+1},T)$ is the maximal isometric extension of  $(X_n,T)$
+    so $(X,T)$ has order $\omega$.
