topology.compact_open

# The compact-open topology #

In this file, we define the compact-open topology on the set of continuous maps between two topological spaces.

## Main definitions #

• compact_open is the compact-open topology on C(α, β). It is declared as an instance.
• ev is the evaluation map C(α, β) × α → β. It is continuous as long as α is locally compact.
• coev is the coevaluation map β → C(α, β × α). It is always continuous.
• continuous_map.curry is the currying map C(α × β, γ) → C(α, C(β, γ)). This map always exists and it is continuous as long as α × β is locally compact.
• continuous_map.uncurry is the uncurrying map C(α, C(β, γ)) → C(α × β, γ). For this map to exist, we need β to be locally compact. If α is also locally compact, then this map is continuous.
• homeomorph.curry combines the currying and uncurrying operations into a homeomorphism C(α × β, γ) ≃ₜ C(α, C(β, γ)). This homeomorphism exists if α and β are locally compact.

Equations
theorem continuous_map.continuous_curry' {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} {γ : Type u_3} (f : C(α × β, γ)) :

If a map α × β → γ is continuous, then its curried form α → C(β, γ) is continuous.

To show continuity of a map α → C(β, γ), it suffices to show that its uncurried form α × β → γ is continuous.

def continuous_map.curry {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} {γ : Type u_3} (f : C(α × β, γ)) :
C(α, C(β, γ))

The curried form of a continuous map α × β → γ as a continuous map α → C(β, γ). If a × β is locally compact, this is continuous. If α and β are both locally compact, then this is a homeomorphism, see homeomorph.curry.

Equations

The currying process is a continuous map between function spaces.

The uncurried form of a continuous map α → C(β, γ) is a continuous map α × β → γ.

def continuous_map.uncurry {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} {γ : Type u_3} (f : C(α, C(β, γ))) :
C(α × β, γ)

The uncurried form of a continuous map α → C(β, γ) as a continuous map α × β → γ (if β is locally compact). If α is also locally compact, then this is a homeomorphism between the two function spaces, see homeomorph.curry.

Equations

The uncurrying process is a continuous map between function spaces.
