Statement
|
f descends to the quotient |
---|
Suppose that (X,\mathcal{ J }) is a topological space and \sim is an equivalence relation, let (\frac{X}{\sim},\mathcal{ Q }) be the resulting quotient topology and \pi:X\rightarrow\frac{X}{\sim} the resulting quotient map, then:
- Let (Y,\mathcal{ K }) be any topological space and let f:X\rightarrow Y be a continuous map that is constant on the fibres of \pi[Note 1] then:
- there exists a unique continuous map, \bar{f}:\frac{X}{\sim}\rightarrow Y such that f=\overline{f}\circ\pi
Notes
- Jump up ↑
That means that:
- \pi(x)=\pi(y)\implies f(x)=f(y) - exactly as in quotient (function)
