Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any set with any equivalence relation, any subset, the canonical injection from the quotient set of the subset into the quotient set of the set, and any subset of the quotient set of the subset, the preimage under the classification map of the set of the image of the subset under the canonical injection is the saturation of the preimage under the classification map of the subset of the subset.

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(S'\): \(\in \{\text{ the sets }\}\), with any equivalence relation, \(\sim'\)
\(S\): \(\subseteq S'\), with the subset equivalence relation, \(\sim\)
\(f'\): \(: S' \to S' / \sim', s' \mapsto [s']'\)
\(f\): \(: S \to S / \sim, s \mapsto [s]\)
\(g\): \(: S / \sim \to S' / \sim', [s] \mapsto [s]'\)
\(\widetilde{S}\): \(\subseteq S / \sim\)
//

Statements:
\(f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S})) = Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that for each \(p \in f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S}))\), \(p \in Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\); Step 2: see that for each \(p \in Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\), \(p \in f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S}))\).

Step 1:

Let \(p \in f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S}))\) be any.

\(f' (p) \in g (\widetilde{S})\).

There is a \([s] \in \widetilde{S}\) such that \(f' (p) = g ([s])\).

But \(g ([s]) = g (f (s)) = f' \vert_{S} (s)\), by the proposition that for any set with any equivalence relation and any subset with the subset equivalence relation, there is the canonical injection from the quotient set of the subset into the quotient set of the set, \(= f' (s)\).

So, \(f' (p) = f' (s)\), which means that \(p \sim' s\).

\(g (f (s)) = g ([s]) = f' (p) \in g (\widetilde{S})\).

As \(g\) is an injection, by the proposition that for any set with any equivalence relation and any subset with the subset equivalence relation, there is the canonical injection from the quotient set of the subset into the quotient set of the set, \(f (s) \in \widetilde{S}\), because there is an \(\widetilde{s} \in \widetilde{S}\) such that \(g (f (s)) = g (\widetilde{s})\), which implies that \(f (s) = \widetilde{s} \in \widetilde{S}\), so, \(s \in f^{-1} (\widetilde{S})\).

So, \(p \in Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\).

So, \(f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S})) \subseteq Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\).

Step 2:

Let \(p \in Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\) be any,

There is an \(s \in f^{-1} (\widetilde{S})\) such that \(p \sim' s\), which implies that \(f' (p) = f' (s)\).

\(f (s) \in \widetilde{S}\).

\(g (f (s)) \in g (\widetilde{S})\).

But \(f' (p) = f' (s) = f' \vert_S (s) = g (f (s))\), by the proposition that for any set with any equivalence relation and any subset with the subset equivalence relation, there is the canonical injection from the quotient set of the subset into the quotient set of the set, \(\in g (\widetilde{S})\).

So, \(p \in f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S}))\).

So, \(Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim') \subseteq f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S}))\).

Step 3:

So, \(f'^{-1} (g (\widetilde{S})) = Sat (f^{-1} (\widetilde{S}), \sim')\).
