Topic: Continuous empty map
Nicolò Cavalleri (Aug 02 2021 at 14:54):
Do we have somewhere that the empty map from the empty type to the empty type is continuous? I'd need to prove the continuity of a map that looks like
continuous (λ x : α, _.elim)

import topology.constructions
example {α : Type*} [topological_space α] (f : pempty → α) : continuous f := continuous_bot

(found using library_search
)

Oh to the empty type! Sorry, I misread

Endomorphism of the empty type. This really has to be some formalization nonsense :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Adam Topaz (Aug 02 2021 at 15:17):
It would be helpful to know how you have this formulated. e.g.
import topology.constructions
example {α β : Type*} [is_empty β] [topological_space α] [topological_space β]
(f : α → β) : continuous f :=
by { letI := function.is_empty f, exact continuous_of_discrete_topology }

Thanks for showing how to use example, I was confused I was using #example
