Proper maps between topological spaces #

This file develops the basic theory of proper maps between topological spaces. A map f : X → Y between two topological spaces is said to be proper if it is continuous and satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

f is closed and has compact fibers.
f is universally closed, in the sense that for any topological space Z, the map Prod.map f id : X × Z → Y × Z is closed.
For any ℱ : Filter X, all cluster points of map f ℱ are images by f of some cluster point of ℱ.

We take 3 as the definition in IsProperMap, and we show the equivalence with 1, 2, and some other variations.

Main statements #

isProperMap_iff_ultrafilter: characterization of proper maps in terms of limits of ultrafilters instead of cluster points of filters.
IsProperMap.pi_map: any product of proper maps is proper.
isProperMap_iff_isClosedMap_and_compact_fibers: a map is proper if and only if it is continuous, closed, and has compact fibers

Implementation notes #

In algebraic geometry, it is common to also ask that proper maps are separated, in the sense of Stacks: definition OCY1. We don't follow this convention because it is unclear whether it would give the right notion in all cases, and in particular for the theory of proper group actions. That means that our terminology does NOT align with that of Stacks: Characterizing proper maps, instead our definition of IsProperMap coincides with what they call "Bourbaki-proper".

Regarding the proofs, we don't really follow Bourbaki and go for more filter-heavy proofs, as usual. In particular, their arguments rely heavily on restriction of closed maps (see IsClosedMap.restrictPreimage), which makes them somehow annoying to formalize in type theory. In contrast, the filter-based proofs work really well thanks to the existing API.

In fact, the filter proofs work so well that I thought this would be a great pedagogical resource about how we use filters. For that reason, all interesting proofs in this file are commented, so don't hesitate to have a look!

TODO #

prove the equivalence with condition 3 of Stacks: Theorem 005R. Note that they mean something different by "universally closed".

IsClosedMap (Prod.map f id)

A proper map f : X → Y is universally closed: for any topological space Z, the map Prod.map f id : X × Z → Y × Z is closed. We will prove in isProperMap_iff_universally_closed that proper maps are exactly continuous maps which have this property, but this result should be easier to use because it allows Z to live in any universe.

IsProperMap f ↔ Continuous f ∧ IsClosedMap (Prod.map f id)

A map f : X → Y is proper if and only if it is continuous and the map (Prod.map f id : X × Filter X → Y × Filter X) is closed. This is stronger than isProperMap_iff_universally_closed since it shows that there's only one space to check to get properness, but in most cases it doesn't matter.
