Compacta and Compact Hausdorff Spaces #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

Recall that, given a monad M on Type*, an algebra for M consists of the following data:

See the file category_theory.monad.algebra for a general version, as well as the following link. https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/monad

This file proves the equivalence between the category of compact Hausdorff topological spaces and the category of algebras for the ultrafilter monad.

Notation: #

Here are the main objects introduced in this file.

The proof of this equivalence is a bit technical. But the idea is quite simply that the structure map ultrafilter X → X for an algebra X of the ultrafilter monad should be considered as the map sending an ultrafilter to its limit in X. The topology on X is then defined by mimicking the characterization of open sets in terms of ultrafilters.

Any X : Compactum is endowed with a coercion to Type*, as well as the following instances:

Any morphism f : X ⟶ Y of is endowed with a coercion to a function X → Y, which is shown to be continuous in continuous_of_hom.

The function Compactum.of_topological_space can be used to construct a Compactum from a topological space which satisfies compact_space and t2_space.

We also add wrappers around structures which already exist. Here are the main ones, all in the Compactum namespace:
