Last piece of the puzzle: + is left continuous: we show that UU+V is continuous (for any fixed V).

Proof.

Note U+VCA (for some A) if and only if AU+V, which happens if and only if Ux,Vy,x+yA. This is equivalent to saying

{x:Vy,x+yA}U,

which is equivalent to UC{x:Vy,x+yA}, so the pre-image is open.
