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.)
IsInducing 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.IsEmbedding fmeansfis inducing and also injective. Equivalently,fidentifiesXwith a subspace ofY.IsOpenEmbedding fmeansfis an embedding with open image, so it identifiesXwith an open subspace ofY. Equivalently,fis an embedding and an open map.IsClosedEmbedding fsimilarly meansfis an embedding with closed image, so it identifiesXwith a closed subspace ofY. Equivalently,fis an embedding and a closed map.IsQuotientMap fis the dual condition toIsEmbedding 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.

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.
