{"# Ordering on topologies and (co)induced topologies
Topologies on a fixed type α are ordered, by reverse inclusion. That is, for topologies t₁ and
t₂ on α, we write t₁ ≤ t₂ if every set open in t₂ is also open in t₁. (One also calls
t₁ finer than t₂, and t₂ coarser than t₁.)
Any function f : α → β induces
TopologicalSpace.induced f : TopologicalSpace β → TopologicalSpace α;TopologicalSpace.coinduced f : TopologicalSpace α → TopologicalSpace β.
Continuity, the ordering on topologies and (co)induced topologies are related as follows:
- The identity map
(α, t₁) → (α, t₂)is continuous ifft₁ ≤ t₂. - A map
f : (α, t) → (β, u)is continuous- iff
t ≤ TopologicalSpace.induced f u(continuous_iff_le_induced) - iff
TopologicalSpace.coinduced f t ≤ u(continuous_iff_coinduced_le).
- iff
Topologies on α form a complete lattice, with ⊥ the discrete topology and ⊤ the indiscrete
topology.
For a function f : α → β, (TopologicalSpace.coinduced f, TopologicalSpace.induced f) is a Galois
connection between topologies on α and topologies on β.
Implementation notes
There is a Galois insertion between topologies on α (with the inclusion ordering) and all
collections of sets in α. The complete lattice structure on topologies on α is defined as the
reverse of the one obtained via this Galois insertion. More precisely, we use the corresponding
Galois coinsertion between topologies on α (with the reversed inclusion ordering) and collections
of sets in α (with the reversed inclusion ordering).
