Locally compact spaces #
This file contains basic results about locally compact spaces.
In a weakly locally compact space, every compact set is contained in the interior of a compact set.
In a weakly locally compact space,
the filters 𝓝 x and cocompact X are disjoint for all X.
In general it suffices that all but finitely many of the spaces are compact, but that's not straightforward to state and use.
For spaces that are not Hausdorff.
A reformulation of the definition of locally compact space: In a locally compact space,
every open set containing x has a compact subset containing x in its interior.
If f : X → Y is a continuous map in a locally compact pair of topological spaces,
K : set X is a compact set, and U is an open neighbourhood of f '' K,
then there exists a compact neighbourhood L of K such that f maps L to U.
This is a generalization of exists_mem_nhds_isCompact_mapsTo.
In a locally compact space, for every containment K ⊆ U of a compact set K in an open
set U, there is a compact neighborhood L such that K ⊆ L ⊆ U: equivalently, there is a
compact L such that K ⊆ interior L and L ⊆ U.
See also exists_compact_closed_between, in which one guarantees additionally that L is closed
if the space is regular.
If f is a topology inducing map with a locally compact codomain and a locally closed range,
then the domain of f is a locally compact space.
