  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that the intersection of a non-increasing sequence of nonempty open or closed subsets does not necessarily contain a point.

Main Body


1: Structured Description 1


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(J\): \(\subseteq \mathbb{N}\)
\(s\): \(: J \to \{\text{ the open subsets of } T\} \setminus \{\emptyset\}\), \(\in \{\text{ the sequences }\}\), such that \(\forall j, j' \in J \text{ such that } j \lt j' (s (j') \subseteq s (j))\)
//

Statements:
not necessarily "\(\cap_{j \in J} s (j) \neq \emptyset\)"
//


2: Proof 1


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see a counterexample.

Step 1:

Let us see a counterexample.

Let \(T := \mathbb{R}\), as the Euclidean topological space, \(J = \mathbb{N}\), and \(s (j) := (0, 1 / (j + 1)) \subseteq T\).

\(s\) satisfies the conditions, because for each \(j \in J\), \(s (j) \neq \emptyset\), and for each \(j, j' \in J\) such that \(j \lt j'\), \(s (j') = (0, 1 / (j' + 1)) \subseteq (0, 1 / (j + 1)) = s (j)\).

Let \(t \in T\) be any.

When \(t \le 0\), \(t \notin (0, 1) = s (0)\), so, \(t \notin \cap_{j \in J} s (j)\).

When \(0 \lt t\), there is a large enough \(j \in J\) such that \(1 / (j + 1) \lt t\), so, \(t \notin (0, 1 / (j + 1)) = s (j)\), so, \(t \notin \cap_{j \in J} s (j)\).

So, anyway, \(t \notin \cap_{j \in J} s (j)\).

So, \(\cap_{j \in J} s (j) = \emptyset\).


3: Structured Description 2


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)
\(J\): \(\subseteq \mathbb{N}\)
\(s\): \(: J \to \{\text{ the closed subsets of } T\} \setminus \{\emptyset\}\), \(\in \{\text{ the sequences }\}\), such that \(\forall j, j' \in J \text{ such that } j \lt j' (s (j') \subseteq s (j))\)
//

Statements:
not necessarily "\(\cap_{j \in J} s (j) \neq \emptyset\)"
//


4: Proof 2


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see a counterexample.

Step 1:

Let us see a counterexample.

Let \(T := \mathbb{R}\), as the Euclidean topological space, \(J = \mathbb{N}\), and \(s (j) := (- \infty, - j] \subseteq T\).

\(s\) satisfies the conditions, because for each \(j \in J\), \(s (j) \neq \emptyset\), and for each \(j, j' \in J\) such that \(j \lt j'\), \(s (j') = (- \infty, - j'] \subseteq (- \infty, - j] = s (j)\).

Let \(t \in T\) be any.

There is a large enough \(j \in J\) such that \(- j \lt t\), so, \(t \notin (- \infty, - j] = s (j)\), so, \(t \notin \cap_{j \in J} s (j)\).

So, \(t \notin \cap_{j \in J} s (j)\).

So, \(\cap_{j \in J} s (j) = \emptyset\).


5: Note


When the codomain of \(s\) is not restricted to the set of the nonempty open subsets or the set of the nonempty closed subsets but to the set of the nonempty subsets, not necessarily "\(\cap_{j \in J} s (j) \neq \emptyset\)" even more, because Proof 1 and Proof 2 are some counterexamples.

The point of Description 2 is that \(T\) is not necessarily compact.

If \(T\) is compact, the intersection necessarily contains a point, by the proposition that any topological space is compact if and only if for its every collection of closed subsets for which the intersection of any finite members is not empty, the intersection of the collection is not empty.

\(S\): \(\in \{\text{ the sets }\}\)
\(J\): \(\in \{\text{ the possibly uncountable index sets }\}\)
\(\{S_j \subseteq S \vert j \in J\}\):
//

Statements:
\(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S\)
\(\iff\)
\(\cap_{j \in J} S = \emptyset\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S \setminus \cap_{j \in J} S\); Step 2: suppose that \(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S\); Step 3: see that \(\cap_{j \in J} S = \emptyset\); Step 4: suppose that \(\cap_{j \in J} S = \emptyset\); Step 5: see that \(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S\).

Step 1:

\(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S \setminus \cap_{j \in J} S\), the proposition for any set, the union of the complements of any possibly uncountable number of subsets is the complement of the intersection of the subsets.

Step 2:

Let us suppose that \(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S\).

Step 3:

\(S \setminus \cap_{j \in J} S = \cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j)\), by Step 1, \(= S\), by the supposition, which implies that \(\cap_{j \in J} S = \emptyset\).

Step 4:

Let us suppose that \(\cap_{j \in J} S = \emptyset\).

Step 5:

\(\cup_{j \in J} (S \setminus S_j) = S \setminus \cap_{j \in J} S\), by Step 1, \(= S \setminus \emptyset\), by the supposition, \(= S\).

Statements:
\(f_2 \circ f_1 \in \{\text{ the homotopy equivalences }\}\)
//


2: Note


Some people may think that this proposition is already included in the fact that being homotopy equivalent is an equivalence relation, but that fact implies only that there is a homotopy equivalence from \(T_1\) into \(T_3\), not \(f_2 \circ f_1\) is a homotopy equivalence: certainly, being an equivalence relation is usually proved by proving that \(f_2 \circ f_1\) is a homotopy equivalence, though.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take a continuous \(\widetilde{f_2}: T_2 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\) and a continuous \(\widetilde{f_3}: T_3 \to T_2\) such that \(\widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\) and \(f_2 \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq id_{T_3}\); Step 2: see that \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq id_{T_3}\).

Step 1:

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{f_2}: T_2 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\), by Note for the definition of homotopy equivalence.

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{f_3}: T_3 \to T_2\) such that \(\widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\) and \(f_2 \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq id_{T_3}\), as before.

Step 2:

Let us take \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3}: T_3 \to T_1\).

\(\widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3}\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.

\(\widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 = \widetilde{f_2} \circ (\widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2) \circ f_1 \simeq \widetilde{f_2} \circ id_{T_2} \circ f_1\), because \(\widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \simeq T_2\), by the proposition that for any homotopic maps from any 1st topological space into any 2nd topological space and any homotopic maps from the 2nd topological space into any 3rd topological space, the compositions of the homotopic maps are homotopic with a homotopy as this, \(= \widetilde{f_2} \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\).

\(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3} = f_2 \circ (f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2}) \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq f_2 \circ id_{T_2} \circ \widetilde{f_3}\), because \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\), as before, \(= f_2 \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq id_{T_3}\).

So, \(f_2 \circ f_1\) is a homotopy equivalence.

//


2: Note


\(f_2\) needs to be presupposed to be continuous, for this proposition, because Proof does not prove that \(f_2\) is continuous, which is a necessity for \(f_2\) to be a homotopy equivalence.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take \(\widetilde{f_2}: T_2 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\) and \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}: T_3 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\); Step 2: see that \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\) and \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\).

Step 1:

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{f_2}: T_2 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{f_2} \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\), by Note for the definition of homotopy equivalence.

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}: T_3 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\), likewise.

Step 2:

Let us take \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}: T_3 \to T_2\).

\(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.

\(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\), which has been seen above.

\(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 = f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ id_{T_2} \simeq f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2}\), because \(id_{T_2} \simeq f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2}\), by the proposition that for any homotopic maps from any 1st topological space into any 2nd topological space and any homotopic maps from the 2nd topological space into any 3rd topological space, the compositions of the homotopic maps are homotopic with a homotopy as this, \(= f_1 \circ (\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1) \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq f_1 \circ id_{T_1} \circ \widetilde{f_2}\), because \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\), as before, \(= f_1 \circ \widetilde{f_2} \simeq id_{T_2}\).

By the proposition that on the set of the continuous maps between any topological spaces, being homotopic is an equivalence relation, \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\).

So, \(f_2\) is a homotopy equivalence.

Step 1:

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{f_3}: T_3 \to T_2\) such that \(\widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\) and \(f_2 \circ \widetilde{f_3} \simeq id_{T_3}\), by Note for the definition of homotopy equivalence.

There is a continuous \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}: T_3 \to T_1\) such that \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\), likewise.

Step 2:

Let us take \(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2: T_2 \to T_1\).

\(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.

\(\widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\), which has been seen above.

\(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 = id_{T_2} \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \simeq \widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2\), because \(id_{T_2} \simeq \widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2\), by the proposition that for any homotopic maps from any 1st topological space into any 2nd topological space and any homotopic maps from the 2nd topological space into any 3rd topological space, the compositions of the homotopic maps are homotopic with a homotopy as this, \(= \widetilde{f_3} \circ (f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}}) \circ f_2 \simeq \widetilde{f_3} \circ id_{T_3} \circ f_2\), because \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \simeq id_{T_3}\), as before, \(= \widetilde{f_3} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\).

By the proposition that on the set of the continuous maps between any topological spaces, being homotopic is an equivalence relation, \(f_1 \circ \widetilde{\widetilde{f_3}} \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\).

So, \(f_1\) is a homotopy equivalence.

2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take any continuous map, \(f_2: T_2 \to T_1\), such that \(f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\) and a homotopy from \(f_1\) to \(f'_1\), \(F_1\); Step 2: take any homotopy from \(f_2 \circ f_1\) to \(id_{T_1}\), \(F\), and \(F': T_1 \times I \to T_1, (t_1, j) \mapsto F (f_2 \circ F_1 (t_1, j), j)\), and see that \(F'\) is a homotopy from \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1\) to \(f_2 \circ f'_1\) and that \(id_{T_1} \simeq f_2 \circ f'_1\); Step 3: take any homotopy from \(f_1 \circ f_2\) to \(id_{T_2}\), \(F\), and \(F': T_2 \times I \to T_2, (t_2, j) \mapsto F (F_1 (f_2 (t_2), j), j)\), and see that \(F'\) is a homotopy from \(f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2\) to \(f'_1 \circ f_2\) and that \(id_{T_2} \simeq f'_1 \circ f_2\); Step 4: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

There is a continuous map, \(f_2: T_2 \to T_1\), such that \(f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq id_{T_1}\) and \(f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq id_{T_2}\), by Note for the definition of homotopy equivalence.

There is a homotopy from \(f_1\) to \(f'_1\), \(F_1: T_1 \times I \to T_2\): for each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(F_1 (t_1, 0) = f_1 (t_1)\) and \(F_1 (t_1, 1) = f'_1 (t_1)\).

Step 2:

Let \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_1\) be any homotopy from \(f_2 \circ f_1\) to \(id_{T_1}\): for each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(F (t_1, 0) = f_2 \circ f_1 (t_1)\) and \(F (t_1, 1) = id_{T_1} (t_1)\).

Let us take \(F': T_1 \times I \to T_1, (t_1, j) \mapsto F (f_2 \circ F_1 (t_1, j), j)\).

\(F'': T_1 \times I \to T_1 \times I, (t_1, j) \mapsto (f_2 \circ F_1 (t_1, j), j)\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point and the proposition that any map from any topological space into any product topological space is continuous if and only if each component map is continuous: \(: T_1 \times I \to I, (t_1, j) \mapsto j\) is continuous, because for each open neighborhood of \(j\), \(U_j \subseteq I\), \(T_1 \times U_j\) is mapped into \(U_j\) where \(T_1 \times U_j \subseteq T_1 \times I\) is an open neighborhood of \((t, j)\).

\(F' = F \circ F''\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.

For each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(F' (t_1, 0) = F (f_2 \circ F_1 (t_1, 0), 0) = F (f_2 \circ f_1 (t_1), 0) = f_2 \circ f_1 (f_2 \circ f_1 (t_1)) = f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 (t_1)\) and \(F' (t_1, 1) = F (f_2 \circ F_1 (t_1, 1), 1) = F (f_2 \circ f'_1 (t_1), 1) = id_{T_1} (f_2 \circ f'_1 (t_1)) = f_2 \circ f'_1 (t_1)\).

So, \(f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq f_2 \circ f'_1\).

But as \(id_{T_1} \simeq f_2 \circ f_1\), \(id_{T_1} \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1\), by the proposition that for any homotopic maps from any 1st topological space into any 2nd topological space and any homotopic maps from the 2nd topological space into any 3rd topological space, the compositions of the homotopic maps are homotopic with a homotopy as this, but the left hand side is \(f_2 \circ f_1\), so, \(f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1\).

So, \(id_{T_1} \simeq f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \simeq f_2 \circ f'_1\).

By the proposition that on the set of the continuous maps between any topological spaces, being homotopic is an equivalence relation, \(id_{T_1} \simeq f_2 \circ f'_1\).

Step 3:

Let \(F: T_2 \times I \to T_2\) be any homotopy from \(f_1 \circ f_2\) to \(id_{T_2}\): for each \(t_2 \in T_2\), \(F (t_2, 0) = f_1 \circ f_2 (t_2)\) and \(F (t_2, 1) = id_{T_2} (t_2)\).

Let us take \(F': T_2 \times I \to T_2, (t_2, j) \mapsto F (F_1 (f_2 (t_2), j), j)\).

\(F'': T_2 \times I \to T_2 \times I, (t_2, j) \mapsto (F_1 (f_2 (t_2), j), j)\) is continuous, by the proposition that the product map of any finite number of continuous maps is continuous by the product topologies, the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point, and the proposition that any map from any topological space into any product topological space is continuous if and only if each component map is continuous: \(: T_1 \times I \to I, (t_1, j) \mapsto j\) is continuous, because for each open neighborhood of \(j\), \(U_j \subseteq I\), \(T_1 \times U_j\) is mapped into \(U_j\) where \(T_1 \times U_j \subseteq T_1 \times I\) is an open neighborhood of \((t, j)\).

\(F' = F \circ F''\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any maps between any arbitrary subspaces of any topological spaces continuous at any corresponding points, the composition is continuous at the point.

For each \(t_2 \in T_2\), \(F' (t_2, 0) = F (F_1 (f_2 (t_2), 0), 0) = F (f_1 (f_2 (t_2)), 0) = f_1 \circ f_2 (f_1 (f_2 (t_2))) = f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 (t_2)\) and \(F' (t_2, 1) = F (F_1 (f_2 (t_2), 1), 1) = F (f'_1 (f_2 (t_2)), 1) = id_{T_2} (f'_1 (f_2 (t_2))) = f'_1 (f_2 (t_2)) = f'_1 \circ f_2 (t_2)\).

So, \(f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq f'_1 \circ f_2\).

But as \(id_{T_2} \simeq f_1 \circ f_2\), \(id_{T_2} \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2\), by the proposition that for any homotopic maps from any 1st topological space into any 2nd topological space and any homotopic maps from the 2nd topological space into any 3rd topological space, the compositions of the homotopic maps are homotopic with a homotopy as this, but the left hand side is \(f_1 \circ f_2\), so, \(f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2\).

So, \(id_{T_2} \simeq f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq f_1 \circ f_2 \circ f_1 \circ f_2 \simeq f'_1 \circ f_2\).

By the proposition that on the set of the continuous maps between any topological spaces, being homotopic is an equivalence relation, \(id_{T_2} \simeq f'_1 \circ f_2\).

Step 4:

By Step 2 and Step 3, \(f'_1\) is a homotopy equivalence, by Note for the definition of homotopy equivalence.

//


2: Note


\(\{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\) is called "the quotient of the subset" in Title and Target Context, but it is not really so, because "the quotient of the subset" is \(S_1 / \sim_1\) but \(\{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\) is a subset of \(T_1 / \sim_1\), but anyway, \(\{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\) and \(S_1 / \sim_1\) are canonically 'sets - maps' isomorphic.

A typical case that this proposition applies is an adjunction space, \(T_1 = T_{1, 1} + T_{1, 2}\) and \(T_1 / \sim_1 = T_{1, 2} \cup_g T_{1, 1}\) with \(g: S \to T_{1, 2}\) and \(S_1 = S \cup T_{1, 2}\).

The reason why "\(rel S_1\)" is required is that otherwise, \(F\) would not necessarily induce \(\widetilde{F}\) in Proof.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(\widetilde{f}\) and \(\widetilde{f'}\) are well-defined; Step 2: take any homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) relative to \(S_1\), \(F\); Step 3: see that \(\widetilde{F}: (T_1 / \sim_1) \times I \to T_2 / \sim_2\) is induced from \(F\); Step 4: see that \(\widetilde{F}\) is a homotopy between \(\widetilde{f}\) and \(\widetilde{f'}\) relative to \(\{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\).

Step 1:

Let us see that \(\widetilde{f}\) and \(\widetilde{f'}\) are well-defined.

Let \(t_1, t'_1 \in T_1\) be any such that \([t_1]_1 = [t'_1]_1\).

That means that \(t_1 \sim_1 t'_1\).

By the supposition, \(f (t_1) \sim_2 f (t'_1)\).

That means that \([f (t_1)]_2 = [f (t'_1)]_2\).

So, for each \([t_1]_1 \in T_1 / \sim_1\), \([f (t_1)]_2\) is uniquely determined independent of the choice of \(t_1\).

So, \(\widetilde{f}\) is well-defined.

\(\widetilde{f'}\) is well-defined, likewise.

Step 2:

As \(f \simeq f' rel S_1\), there is a homotopy, \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_2\), such that for each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(F (t_1, 0) = f (t_1)\) and \(F (t_1, 1) = f' (t_1)\) and for each \(s_1 \in S_1\), for each \(r \in I\), \(F (s_1, r) = f (s_1) = f' (s_1)\).

Step 3:

Let us see that \(\widetilde{F}: (T_1 / \sim_1) \times I \to T_2 / \sim_2, ([t_1]_1, r) \mapsto [F (t_1, r)]_2\) is well-defined.

Let \(t_1, t'_1 \in T_1\) be any such that \([t_1]_1 = [t'_1]_1\).

When \(t_1 = t'_1\), \(F (t_1, r) = F (t'_1, r)\), so, \([F (t_1, r)]_2 = [F (t'_1, r)]_2\).

Let us suppose that \(t_1 \neq t'_1\).

\(t_1, t'_1 \in S_1\), because if \(t_1 \in T_1 \setminus S_1\), \([t_1]_1 = \{t_1\}\), by the supposition, so, \(t'_1 \in [t_1]\) would imply that \(t'_1 = t_1\), a contradiction, and likewise for \(t'_1 \in T_1 \setminus S_1\).

So, \(F (t_1, r) = f (t_1) = f' (t_1)\) and \(F (t'_1, r) = f (t'_1) = f' (t'_1)\).

But \([f (t_1)]_2 = [f (t'_1)]_2\), by the supposition.

So, \([F (t_1, r)]_2 = [f (t_1)]_2 = [f (t'_1)]_2 = [F (t'_1, r)]_2\).

So, for each \(([t_1]_1, r) \in (T_1 / \sim_1) \times I\), \([F (t_1, r)]_2\) is uniquely determined independent of the choice of \(t_1\).

So, \(\widetilde{F}\) is well-defined.

Step 4:

\(\widetilde{F}\) is continuous, by the proposition that for any continuous map from the product of any topological space and any locally compact Hausdorff topological space and any equivalence relations on the 1st space and the codomain, if each 1st space equivalence class is mapped into any codomain equivalence class, the induced map between the product of the quotient space and the 2nd space and the quotient space is continuous.

\(\widetilde{F} ([t_1]_1, 0) = [F (t_1, 0)]_2 = [f (t_1)]_2 = \widetilde{f} ([t_1]_1)\) and \(\widetilde{F} ([t_1]_1, 1) = [F (t_1, 1)]_2 = [f' (t_1)]_2 = \widetilde{f'} ([t_1]_1)\).

For each \([s_1]_1 \in \{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\} \subseteq T_1 / \sim_1\), for each \(r \in I\), \(\widetilde{F} ([s_1]_1, r) = [F (s_1, r)]_2 = [f (s_1)]_2 = [f' (s_1)]_2\), but \([f (s_1)]_2 = \widetilde{f} ([s_1]_1)\) and \([f' (s_1)]_2 = \widetilde{f'} ([s_1]_1)\).

That means that \(\widetilde{F}\) is a homotopy between \(\widetilde{f}\) and \(\widetilde{f'}\) relative to \(\{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\).

So, \(\widetilde{f} \simeq \widetilde{f'} rel \{[s_1]_1 \vert s_1 \in S_1\}\).

\(T_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}\)

//

Statements:

\(\implies\)
\(f \simeq f' rel \cup_{j \in J} S_j\)
//


2: Note


Each \(f \vert_{U_j}: U_j \to T_2\) or \(f' \vert_{U_j}: U_j \to T_2\) is inevitably continuous, by the proposition that any restriction of any continuous map on the domain and the codomain is continuous, so, talking about being homotopic of \(f \vert_{U_j}\) and \(f' \vert_{U_j}\) makes sense.

\(\{U_j \in \{\text{ the open subsets of } T_1\} \vert j \in J\}\) needs to be disjoint for this proposition, because otherwise, when the homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) was constructed from the homotopies between the restricted maps, the consistency would be a concern.

A typical case that this proposition applies is that \(T_1\) is a topological sum, \(\coprod_{j \in J} T_{1, j}\): \(\{T_{1, j}\}\) is a disjoint open cover of \(T_1\).


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each \(j \in J\), take a homotopy, \(F_j: U_j \times I \to T_2\) between \(f \vert_{U_j}\) and \(f' \vert_{U_j}\) relative to \(S_j\); Step 2: take \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_2\) such that \(F \vert_{U_j \times I} = F_j\), and see that \(F\) is a homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) relative to \(\cup_{j \in J} S_j\).

Step 1:

Let \(j \in J\) be any.

As \(f \vert_{U_j} \simeq f' \vert_{U_j} rel S_j\), there is a homotopy, \(F_j: U_j \times I \to T_2\), such that \(F_j (u_j, 0) = f (u_j)\), \(F_j (u_j, 1) = f' (u_j)\), and for each \(s_j \in S_j\), \(F_j (s_j, j) = f (s_j) = f' (s_j)\).

Step 2:

Let us take \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_2\) such that \(F \vert_{U_j \times I} = F_j\).

\(F\) is well-defined, because \(\{U_j \times I \vert j \in J\}\) is a disjoint cover of \(T_1 \times I\).

Each \(U_j \times I\) is an open subset of \(T_1 \times I\), by Note for the definition of product topology.

So, \(\{U_j \times I \vert j \in J\}\) is an open cover of \(T_1 \times I\).

\(F\) is continuous, by the proposition that any map between topological spaces is continuous if the domain restriction of the map to each open set of a possibly uncountable open cover is continuous: the proposition that for any possibly uncountable number of indexed topological spaces or any finite number of topological spaces and their subspaces, the product of the subspaces is the subspace of the product of the base spaces.

For each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(t_1 \in U_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and \(F (t_1, 0) = F_j (t_1, 0) = f (t_1)\).

For each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(t_1 \in U_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and \(F (t_1, 1) = F_j (t_1, 1) = f' (t_1)\).

For each \(s \in \cup_{j \in J} S_j\), \(s \in S_j \subseteq U_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and for each \(r \in I\), \(F (s, r) = F_j (s, r) = f (s) = f' (s)\).

So, \(F\) is a homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) relative to \(\cup_{j \in J} S_j\).

So, \(f \simeq f' rel \cup_{j \in J} S_j\).

2: Note


Each \(f \vert_{C_j}: C_j \to T_2\) or \(f' \vert_{C_j}: C_j \to T_2\) is inevitably continuous, by the proposition that any restriction of any continuous map on the domain and the codomain is continuous, so, talking about being homotopic of \(f \vert_{C_j}\) and \(f' \vert_{C_j}\) makes sense.

\(\{C_j \in \{\text{ the closed subsets of } T_1\} \vert j \in J\}\) needs to be disjoint for this proposition, because otherwise, when the homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) was constructed from the homotopies between the restricted maps, the consistency would be a concern.

A typical case that this proposition applies is that \(T_1\) is a topological sum, \(T_{1, 1} + ... + T_{1, n}\): \(\{T_{1, j}\}\) is a finite disjoint closed cover of \(T_1\).


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: for each \(j \in J\), take a homotopy, \(F_j: C_j \times I \to T_2\) between \(f \vert_{C_j}\) and \(f' \vert_{C_j}\) relative to \(S_j\); Step 2: take \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_2\) such that \(F \vert_{C_j \times I} = F_j\), and see that \(F\) is a homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) relative to \(\cup_{j \in J} S_j\).

Step 1:

Let \(j \in J\) be any.

As \(f \vert_{C_j} \simeq f' \vert_{C_j} rel S_j\), there is a homotopy, \(F_j: C_j \times I \to T_2\), such that \(F_j (c_j, 0) = f (c_j)\), \(F_j (c_j, 1) = f' (c_j)\), and for each \(s_j \in S_j\), \(F_j (s_j, j) = f (s_j) = f' (s_j)\).

Step 2:

Let us take \(F: T_1 \times I \to T_2\) such that \(F \vert_{C_j \times I} = F_j\).

\(F\) is well-defined, because \(\{C_j \times I \vert j \in J\}\) is a disjoint cover of \(T_1 \times I\).

Each \(C_j \times I\) is a closed subset of \(T_1 \times I\), by the proposition that for any product topological space, the product of any closed subsets is closed.

So, \(\{C_j \times I \vert j \in J\}\) is a closed cover of \(T_1 \times I\).

\(F\) is continuous, by the proposition that any map between topological spaces is continuous if the domain restriction of the map to each closed set of a finite closed cover is continuous: the proposition that for any possibly uncountable number of indexed topological spaces or any finite number of topological spaces and their subspaces, the product of the subspaces is the subspace of the product of the base spaces.

For each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(t_1 \in C_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and \(F (t_1, 0) = F_j (t_1, 0) = f (t_1)\).

For each \(t_1 \in T_1\), \(t_1 \in C_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and \(F (t_1, 1) = F_j (t_1, 1) = f' (t_1)\).

For each \(s \in \cup_{j \in J} S_j\), \(s \in S_j \subseteq C_j\) for a \(j \in J\), and for each \(r \in I\), \(F (s, r) = F_j (s, r) = f (s) = f' (s)\).

So, \(F\) is a homotopy between \(f\) and \(f'\) relative to \(\cup_{j \in J} S_j\).

So, \(f \simeq f' rel \cup_{j \in J} S_j\).
