### More propositions

|
|
#### Proposition for continuous and quotient maps
|
|
|
|
Let $X,Y,Z$ be topological spaces. $p$ is a quotient map from $X$ to $Y$ and $g$ is a continuous map from $X$ to $Z$.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, if for any $y\in Y$, the map $g$ is constant on $p^{-1}(y)$, then there is a continuous map $f: Y\to Z$ satisfying $f\circ p=g$.
|
|

|
<summary>Proof</summary>
|
|
|
|
For any $y\in Y$, take $x\in X$ such that $p(x)=y$ (since $p$ is surjective).
|
|
|
|
Define $f(y)\coloneqq g(x)$.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is well-defined and it doesn't depend on the specific choice of $x$ that $p(x)=y$ because $g$ is constant on $p^{-1}(y)$.
|
|
|
|
Then we check that $f$ is continuous.
|
|
|
|
Let $U\subseteq Z$ be open. Then we want to show that $f^{-1}(U)\subseteq Y$ is open.
|
|
|
|
Since $p$ is a quotient map, this is equivalent to showing that $p^{-1}(f^{-1}(U))\subseteq X$ is open. Note that $p^{-1}(f^{-1}(U))=g^{-1}(U)$.
|
|
|
|
Since $g$ is continuous, $g^{-1}(U)$ is open in $X$.
|
|
|
|
Since $g^{-1}(U)$ is open in $X$, $p^{-1}(g^{-1}(U))$ is open in $Y$.

|
> In general, $p^{-1}(y)$ is called the **fiber** of $p$ over $y$. The $g$ must be constant on the fiber.
|
|
>
|
|
> We may define $p^{-1}(y)$ as the equivalence class of $y$ if $p$ is defined using the equivalence relation. By definition $p^{-1}([x])$ is the element of $x$ that are $\sim x$.
|
|
|
|
#### Additional to the proposition
|
|
|
|
Note that $f$ is unique.
|
|
|
|
It is not hard to see that $f$ is a quotient map if and only if $g$ is a quotient map. (check book for detailed proofs)
|
|
|
|
#### Definition of saturated map
|
|
|
|
Let $p:X\to Y$ be a quotient map. We say $A\subseteq X$ is **saturated** by $p$ if $A=p^{-1}(B)$ for some $B\subseteq Y$.
|
|
|
|
Equivalently, if $x\in A$, then $p^{-1}(p(x))\subseteq A$.
|
|
|
|
#### Proposition for quotient maps from saturated sets
|
|
|
|
Let $p:X\to Y$ be a quotient map and $q$ be given by restriction of $p$ to $A\subseteq X$. $q:A\to p(A)$, $q(x)=p(x),x\in A$.
|
|
|
|
Assume that $A$ is saturated by $p$.
|
|
|
|
1. If $A$ is closed or open, then $q$ is a quotient map.
|
|
2. If $p$ is closed or open, then $q$ is a quotient map.
|
|

<summary>Proof</summary>
|
|
|
|
We prove 1 and assume that $A$ is open, (the closed case is similar).
|
|
|
|
clearly, $q:A\to p(A)$ is surjective.
|
|
|
|
In general, restricting the domain and the range of a continuous map is continuous.
|
|
|
|
Since $A$ is saturated by $p$, then $p^{-1}(p(A))=A$ is open, so $p(A)$ is open because $p$ is a quotient map. Let $V\subseteq p(A)$ and $q^{-1}(V)\subseteq A$ is open. Then $q^{-1}(V)=p^{-1}(V)$.
|
|
|
|
(i) $q^{-1}(V)\subseteq p^{-1}(V)$: $x\in q^{-1}(V)\implies q(x)\in V$. Then $p(x)=q(x)\in V$
|
|
|
|
(ii) $p^{-1}(V)\subseteq q^{-1}(V)$: $x\in p^{-1}(V)\implies p(x)\in V\subseteq p(A)$. This implies that $x\in p^{-1}(p(A))=A$ since $A$ is saturated by $p$. Therefore $x\in q^{-1}(V)$.
|
|
|
|
Since $A$ is open in $X$, any open subspace of $A$ is open in $X$. In particular, $q^{-1}(V)=p^{-1}(V)$ is open in $X$.
|
|
|
|
Since $p$ is a quotient map, and $p^{-1}(V)$ is open in $X$, $V$ is open in $Y$. So $V\subseteq p(A)$ is open in $Y$.
|
|
|
|
This shows $q$ is a quotient map.
