Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any adjunction topological space and its any subspace, any subset of the subspace is open if and only if the projections of the preimage of the subset under the quotient map onto the attaching-origin space and the attaching-destination space are open on the projections of the preimage of the subspace under the quotient map with the condition that the attaching-origin space projection accord with the attaching-destination space projection with respect to the attaching map.

1: Description


For any topological spaces, T1,T2, any subset, ST1, any continuous map, f:ST2, the adjunction topological space, T2fT1 where f2:T1T1+T2 and f3:T2T1+T2 are the inclusions and f4:T1+T2T2fT1 is the quotient map, and any subspace, T3T2fT1, any subset, ST3, is open if and only if f41(S)T1 is open on the subspace of T1, T1=f41(T3)T1, with an open set, UT1, such that f41(S)T1=UT1 and f41(S)T2 is open on the subspace of T2, T2=f41(T3)T2, with an open set, UT2, such that f41(S)T2=UT2, with the condition that US=f1(Uf(S)).


2: Proof


Suppose that f41(S)T1 is open on T1 and f41(S)T2 is open on T2 with the prescribed condition. Let us think of U:=f4(f2(U)f3(U)). The condition, US=f1(Uf(S)), means that for any [p]U such that pf(S),[p]=f1(p){p}, f1(p){p}f2(US)f3(Uf(S)), because there is a pf2(US)f3(Uf(S)) such that f4(p)=[p], which means that pf2(US) and f(p)=p or that pf3(Uf(S)) and p=p; for the former case, pUS=f1(Uf(S)), f(p)=pf(f1(Uf(S)))Uf(S) by the proposition that for any map between sets, the composition of the map after any preimage is contained in the argument set; for the latter case, p=pUf(S); for any pf1(p){p}, pf1(p) or p=p; for the former case, pUS=f2(US) by the condition; for the latter case, pUf(S)=f3(Uf(S)).

The openness of U on T2fT1 is nothing but the openness of f41(U)T1 on T1 and the openness of f41(U)T2 on T2. f41(U)=f2(U)f3(U), because while f2(U)f3(U)f41(U) is true by the proposition that for any map between sets, any subset is contained in the preimage of the image of the subset, also f41(U)f2(U)f3(U) holds, because for any p f41(U), if pT1S or pT2f(S), f4(p)=[p]={p}U, and there is a pf2(U)f3(U) such that f4(p)=[p], which only p=p satisfies, so, pf2(U)f3(U); if pS or pf(S), f4(p)=[p]U where pf(S),[p]=f1(p){p}, so, by the claim in the last paragraph, pf1(p){p}f2(US)f3(Uf(S))). So, f41(U)T1=f2(U), open on T1, and f41(U)T2=f3(U), open on T2. So, U is open on T2fT1.

S=UT3, because for any [p]S, if pT1, pf41(S)T1=UT1U, so, f4(f2(p))=[p]U=f4(f2(U)f3(U)); if pT2, pf41(S)T2=UT2U, so, f4(f3(p))=[p]U=f4(f2(U)f3(U)); of course [p]T3; for any [p]UT3, if pT1, p(f41(U)T1)(f41(T3)T1)=f2(U)T1=UT1=f41(S)T1, so, [p]=f4(p)S; if pT2, p(f41(U)T2)(f41(T3)T2)=f3(U)T2=UT2=f41(S)T2, so, [p]=f4(p)S.

So, by the definition of subspace topology, S is open.

Suppose that S is open. By the definition of subspace topology, there is an open set, UT2fT1, such that S=UT3.

Define U:=f41(U)T1 and U:=f41(U)T2, both open by the definition of quotient topology and the definition of topological sum. They satisfy the condition, US=f1(Uf(S)), because for any pUS, f4(p)=[f(p)]U, f41([f(p)])T2={f(p)}U, so, f(p)U, so, pf1(U)=f1(Uf(S)); for any pf1(Uf(S)), f(p)Uf(S), f4(f(p))=[p]U, so, pf41([p])f41(U)T1=U, but as pS, pUS.

f41(S)T1=UT1, because for any pf41(S)T1, f4(p)=[p]SU, so, pf41(U), but as pT1, pf41(U)T1=U, and of course, pT1; for any pUT1, f4(p)f4(UT1)f4(U)f4(T1)UT3=S, pf41(S)T1. f41(S)T2=UT2, because for any pf41(S)T2, f4(p)=[p]SU; pf41(U)T2=U; of course, pT2; for any pUT2, f4(p)f4(UT2)f4(U)f4(T2)UT3=S, pf41(S)T2.

U=f4(f2(U)f3(U)), because for any [p]U, pf41([p])T1U or pf41([p])T2U, so, [p]f4(f2(U)f3(U)); for any [p]f4(f2(U)f3(U)), [p]f4(f2(U)) or [p]f4(f3(U)), so, there is a pU such that f4(f2(p))=[p] or a pU such that f4(f3(p))=[p], so, [p]U.


3: Note


The point is that only the openness of f41(S)T1 on T1 and the openness of f41(S)T2 on T2 do not guarantee the openness of S, because U on T2fT1 is being required.
