In topology, a quotient space is a topological space formed on the set of equivalence classes of an equivalence relation on a topological space, using the original space's topology to create the topology on the set of equivalence classes. /Subtype /Form It is also among the most di cult concepts in point-set topology to master.

Definition: Quotient Topology If X is a topological space and A is a set and if f : X → A {\displaystyle f:X\rightarrow A} is a surjective map, then there exist exactly one topology τ {\displaystyle \tau } on A relative to which f is a quotient map; it is called the quotient topology induced by f . /BBox [0 0 16 16] endobj /Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0] Quotient Spaces and Covering Spaces 1.

Let X=Rdenote the set of equivalence classes for R, and let q: X!X=R be the function which takes each xto its equivalence class: q(x) = EC R(x): The quotient topology on X=Ris the nest topology for which qis continuous. Then the quotient topology on Y is expressed as follows: a set in Y is open iff the union in X of the subsets it consists of, is open in X. Moreover, this is the coarsest topology for which becomes continuous. A sequence inX is a function from the natural numbers to X p: N→ X. Then the quotient topology on Q makes π continuous. 13 0 obj << Basic Point-Set Topology 3 means that f(x) is not in O.On the other hand, x0 was in f −1(O) so f(x 0) is in O.Since O was assumed to be open, there is an interval (c,d) about f(x0) that is contained in O.The points f(x) that are not in O are therefore not in (c,d) so they remain at least a ﬁxed positive distance from f(x0).To summarize: there are points /Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0] /Type /XObject given the quotient topology. 23 0 obj 3.
