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 under- fis open.
- IsClosedMap fmeans the image of a closed set under- fis closed.
(Open and closed maps need not be continuous.)
- IsInducing fmeans the topology on- Xis the one induced via- ffrom the topology on- Y. These behave like embeddings except they need not be injective. Instead, points of- Xwhich are identified by- fare also inseparable in the topology on- X.
- IsEmbedding fmeans- fis inducing and also injective. Equivalently,- fidentifies- Xwith a subspace of- Y.
- IsOpenEmbedding fmeans- fis an embedding with open image, so it identifies- Xwith an open subspace of- Y. Equivalently,- fis an embedding and an open map.
- IsClosedEmbedding fsimilarly means- fis an embedding with closed image, so it identifies- Xwith a closed subspace of- Y. Equivalently,- fis an embedding and a closed map.
- IsQuotientMap fis the dual condition to- IsEmbedding f:- fis surjective and the topology on- Yis the one coinduced via- ffrom the topology on- X. Equivalently,- fidentifies- Ywith a quotient of- X. Quotient maps are also sometimes known as identification maps.

The topology induced under an inclusion f : X → Y from a discrete topological space Y
is the discrete topology on X.

A continuous surjective open map is a quotient map.

A map is open if and only if the Set.kernImage of every closed set is closed.
An inducing map with an open range is an open map.
Preimage of a dense set under an open map is dense.
A map is closed if and only if the Set.kernImage of every open set is open.
One way to understand this result is that f : X → Y is closed if and only if its fibers vary in an
upper hemicontinuous way: for any open subset U ⊆ X, the set of all y ∈ Y such that
f ⁻¹' {y} ⊆ U is open in Y.
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.

Assume f is a closed map. If some property p holds around every point in the fiber of f
at y₀, then for any y close enough to y₀ we have that p holds on the fiber at y.
Assume f is a closed map. If there are points y arbitrarily close to y₀ such that p
holds for at least some x ∈ f ⁻¹' {y}, then one can find x₀ ∈ f ⁻¹' {y₀} such that there
are points x arbitrarily close to x₀ which satisfy p.
