Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

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

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


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each open subset, \(U_1 \subseteq T_1\), see that \(f (U_1) \subseteq T_2\) is open.

Step 1:

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

\(f' (U_1) \subseteq T'_2\) is an open subset of \(T'_2\).

\(f (U_1) = f' (U_1) = f' (U_1) \cap T_2\), which is open on \(T_2\).


3: Note


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