Induced and coinduced topologies

In this file we define the induced and coinduced topologies, as well as topology inducing maps, topological embeddings, and quotient maps.

Main definitions

• TopologicalSpace.induced: given f : X → Y and a topology on Y, the induced topology on X is the collection of sets that are preimages of some open set in Y. This is the coarsest topology that makes f continuous.

• TopologicalSpace.coinduced: given f : X → Y and a topology on X, the coinduced topology on Y is defined such that s : Set Y is open if the preimage of s is open. This is the finest topology that makes f continuous.

• IsInducing: a map f : X → Y is called inducing, if the topology on the domain is equal to the induced topology.

• IsEmbedding: a map f : X → Y is an embedding, if it is a topology inducing map and it is injective.

• IsOpenEmbedding: a map f : X → Y is an open embedding, if it is an embedding and its range is open. An open embedding is an open map.

• IsClosedEmbedding: a map f : X → Y is an open embedding, if it is an embedding and its range is open. An open embedding is an open map.

• IsQuotientMap: a map f : X → Y is a quotient map, if it is surjective and the topology on the codomain is equal to the coinduced topology.

def TopologicalSpace.induced {X : Type u_1} {Y : Type u_2} (f : X → Y) (t : TopologicalSpace Y) : TopologicalSpace X

Given f : X → Y and a topology on Y, the induced topology on X is the collection of sets that are preimages of some open set in Y. This is the coarsest topology that makes f continuous.

def TopologicalSpace.coinduced {X : Type u_1} {Y : Type u_2} (f : X → Y) (t : TopologicalSpace X) : TopologicalSpace Y

Given f : X → Y and a topology on X, the coinduced topology on Y is defined such that s : Set Y is open if the preimage of s is open. This is the finest topology that makes f continuous.

structure Topology.IsCoherentWith {X : Type u_1} [tX : TopologicalSpace X] (S : Set (Set X)) : Prop

We say that restrictions of the topology on X to sets from a family S generates the original topology, if either of the following equivalent conditions hold:

• a set which is relatively open in each s ∈ S is open;
• a set which is relatively closed in each s ∈ S is closed;
• for any topological space Y, a function f : X → Y is continuous provided that it is continuous on each s ∈ S.

• isOpen_of_forall_induced (u : Set X) : (∀ s ∈ S, IsOpen (Subtype.val ⁻¹' u)) → IsOpen u

structure Topology.IsInducing {X : Type u_1} {Y : Type u_2} [tX : TopologicalSpace X] [tY : TopologicalSpace Y] (f : X → Y) : Prop

A function f : X → Y between topological spaces is inducing if the topology on X is induced by the topology on Y through f, meaning that a set s : Set X is open iff it is the preimage under f of some open set t : Set Y.

• eq_induced : tX = TopologicalSpace.induced f tY

  The topology on the domain is equal to the induced topology.
