Starting Context



Target Context

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T_1\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(T'_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(T_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the open topological subspaces of } T'_2\}\)
\(f\): \(: T_1 \to T_2\), \(\in \{\text{ the open maps }\}\)
\(f'\): \(: T_1 \to T'_2, t_1 \mapsto f (t_1)\)
//

Statements:
\(f' \in \{\text{ the open maps }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each open subset, \(U_1 \subseteq T_1\), see that \(f' (U_1)\) is open on \(T'_2\).

Step 1:

Let \(U_1 \subseteq T_1\) be any open subset.

\(f' (U_1) = f (U_1) \subseteq T_2\) is open on \(T_2\).

\(f' (U_1) \subseteq T'_2\) is open on \(T'_2\), by the proposition that for any topological space and any topological subspace that is open on the base space, any subset of the subspace is open on the subspace if and only if it is open on the base space.


3: Note


Compare with the proposition that a codomain extension of an open map is not necessarily open.

Compare with the proposition that any codomain restriction of any open map is open.
