Specific classes of maps between topological spaces #
This file introduces the following properties of a map f : X → Y between topological spaces:
IsOpenMap fmeans the image of an open set underfis open.IsClosedMap fmeans the image of a closed set underfis closed.
(Open and closed maps need not be continuous.)
-
Inducing fmeans the topology onXis the one induced viaffrom the topology onY. These behave like embeddings except they need not be injective. Instead, points ofXwhich are identified byfare also inseparable in the topology onX. -
Embedding fmeansfis inducing and also injective. Equivalently,fidentifiesXwith a subspace ofY. -
OpenEmbedding fmeansfis an embedding with open image, so it identifiesXwith an open subspace ofY. Equivalently,fis an embedding and an open map. -
ClosedEmbedding fsimilarly meansfis an embedding with closed image, so it identifiesXwith a closed subspace ofY. Equivalently,fis an embedding and a closed map. -
QuotientMap fis the dual condition toEmbedding f:fis surjective and the topology onYis the one coinduced viaffrom the topology onX. Equivalently,fidentifiesYwith a quotient ofX. Quotient maps are also sometimes known as identification maps.

- induced : tα = TopologicalSpace.induced f tβ
The topology on the domain is equal to the induced topology.
A function f : α → β between topological spaces is inducing if the topology on α is induced
by the topology on β through f, meaning that a set s : Set α is open iff it is the preimage
under f of some open set t : Set β.

A topological embedding is injective.
A function between topological spaces is an embedding if it is injective,
and for all s : Set α, s is open iff it is the preimage of an open set.
Instances For
The topology induced under an inclusion f : X → Y from a discrete topological space Y
is the discrete topology on X.
See also DiscreteTopology.of_continuous_injective.
A function between topological spaces is a quotient map if it is surjective,
and for all s : Set β, s is open iff its preimage is an open set.
Equations
- QuotientMap f = (Function.Surjective f ∧ tβ = TopologicalSpace.coinduced f tα)
Instances For
A continuous surjective open map is a quotient map.
An inducing map with an open range is an open map.
A map f : α → β is said to be a closed map, if the image of any closed U : Set α
is closed in β.
Instances For
A map f : X → Y is closed if and only if for all sets s, any cluster point of f '' s is
the image by f of some cluster point of s.
If you require this for all filters instead of just principal filters, and also that f is
continuous, you get the notion of proper map. See isProperMap_iff_clusterPt.
