Definition of Quotient topology
If [math](X,\mathcal{J})[/math] is a topological space, [math]A[/math] is a set, and [math]p:(X,\mathcal{J})\rightarrow A[/math] is a surjective map then there exists exactly one topology [math]\mathcal{J}_Q[/math] relative to which [math]p[/math] is a quotient map. This is the quotient topology induced by [math]p[/math]
The quotient topology is actually a topology
TODO: Easy enough
Quotient map
Let [ilmath](X,\mathcal{J})[/ilmath] and [ilmath](Y,\mathcal{K})[/ilmath] be topological spaces and let [ilmath]p:X\rightarrow Y[/ilmath] be a surjective map.
[ilmath]p[/ilmath] is a quotient map[1] if we have [math]U\in\mathcal{K}\iff p^{-1}(U)\in\mathcal{J}[/math]
Also known as:
- Identification map
Stronger than continuity
If we had [ilmath]\mathcal{K}=\{\emptyset,Y\}[/ilmath] then [ilmath]p[/ilmath] is automatically continuous (as it is surjective), the point is that [ilmath]\mathcal{K} [/ilmath] is the largest topology we can define on [ilmath]Y[/ilmath] such that [ilmath]p[/ilmath] is continuous
TODO: Now we can explore the characteristic property (with [ilmath]\text{Id}:\tfrac{X}{\sim}\rightarrow\tfrac{X}{\sim} [/ilmath] ) for now
Quotient space
Given a Topological space [ilmath](X,\mathcal{J})[/ilmath] and an Equivalence relation [ilmath]\sim[/ilmath], then the map: [math]q:(X,\mathcal{J})\rightarrow(\tfrac{X}{\sim},\mathcal{Q})[/math] with [math]q:p\mapsto[p][/math] (which is a quotient map) is continuous (as above)
The topological space [ilmath](\tfrac{X}{\sim},\mathcal{Q})[/ilmath] is the quotient space[2] where [ilmath]\mathcal{Q} [/ilmath] is the topology induced by the quotient
Also known as:
- Identification space
