Topology on the set of filters on a type #
This file introduces a topology on Filter α. It is generated by the sets
Set.Iic (𝓟 s) = {l : Filter α | s ∈ l}, s : Set α. A set s : Set (Filter α) is open if and
only if it is a union of a family of these basic open sets, see Filter.isOpen_iff.
This topology has the following important properties.
- If - Xis a topological space, then the map- 𝓝 : X → Filter Xis a topology inducing map.
- In particular, it is a continuous map, so - 𝓝 ∘ ftends to- 𝓝 (𝓝 a)whenever- ftends to- 𝓝 a.
- If - Xis an ordered topological space with order topology and no max element, then- 𝓝 ∘ ftends to- 𝓝 Filter.atTopwhenever- ftends to- Filter.atTop.
- It turns - Filter Xinto a T₀ space and the order on- Filter Xis the dual of the- specializationOrder (Filter X).
