Verification on proof of $sigma(kU)=k^{2n+1}sigma(U)$?

$begingroup$


Let $U$ be a bounded open subset of an $n$-dimensional euclidean space endowed with the usual topology and the usual metric $d$. Now, let



$$sigma(U)=iint_U d(x,y)dxdy$$



Suppose we scale the space by a factor of $k$ from the origin. Let $k U$ be the new shape.



I think I have a proof of $sigma(kU)=k^{2n+1}sigma(U)$, but I don't feel confortable with it, as it seems too easy. Anyway, here is the proof:





Each of its points of $U$ will have coordinates $x=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$. Then the new shape $kU$ will have points with coordinates $x'=(x_1',ldots,x_n')$ with the relations



$$x_i'=kx_i$$



$$dx_i'=kdx_i$$



Then, because $x_i=x_i'/k$, the shape $kU$ gets transformed to ${xmid exists x'in kU:x'=kx}=U$:



begin{align}
sigma(kU) &= iint_{kU}d(x',y')dx'dy' \
&= iint_U d(kx,ky)kdx kdy \
&= int_{x_1^0}^{x_1^1}cdotsint_{x_n^0}^{x_n^1}int_{y_1^0}^{y_1^1}cdotsint_{y_n^0}^{y_n^1} sqrt{(kx_1-ky_1)^2+cdots+(kx_n-ky_n)^2}kdx_1ldots kdx_nkdy_1ldots kdy_n \
&= int_{x_1^0}^{x_1^1}cdotsint_{x_n^0}^{x_n^1}int_{y_1^0}^{y_1^1}cdotsint_{y_n^0}^{y_n^1} ksqrt{(x_1-y_1)^2+cdots+(x_n-y_n)^2}k^{2n}dx_1ldots dx_ndy_1ldots dy_n \
&= k^{2n+1}int_{x_1^0}^{x_1^1}cdotsint_{x_n^0}^{x_n^1}int_{y_1^0}^{y_1^1}cdotsint_{y_n^0}^{y_n^1} sqrt{(x_1-y_1)^2+cdots+(x_n-y_n)^2}dx_1ldots dx_ndy_1ldots dy_n \
&= k^{2n+1}iint_Ud(x,y)dxdy \
sigma(kU)&= k^{2n+1}sigma(U)
end{align}



Is this correct? Thanks.

          But that's fine because what you only need is that $d(kx,ky)=kd(x,y)$ for all $x,yin U$ (which is certainly true) and that $d(kx)d(ky)=k^{2n}dxdy$ which is true as well for the reason you mention.
