The category of X-generated spaces, as a localization #
Let X i be a family of topological spaces. In this file, we introduce
a property of morphisms morphismPropertyWithGeneratedByTopologyEquiv X
in the category TopCat: it consists of the morphisms corresponding to
the canonical continuous maps WithGeneratedByTopology X Z → Z for
all topological spaces Z. We show that the functor
TopCat.toContinuousGeneratedByCat X : TopCat ⥤ ContinuousGeneratedByCat X
makes ContinuousGeneratedByCat X the localized category of TopCat with
respect to this class of morphisms. Similarly,
TopCat.toGeneratedByTopCat : TopCat ⥤ GeneratedByTopCat X is also
a localization functor.
Given a family of topological spaces X, this is the family of morphisms in TopCat
corresponding to the continuous maps WithGeneratedByTopology X Z → Z for
all topological spaces Z.
