Topology on the set of filters on a type #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
In this file introduce 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.is_open_iff.
This topology has the following important properties.
-
If
Xis a topological space, then the map𝓝 : X → filter Xis a topology inducing map. -
In particular, it is a continuous map, so
𝓝 ∘ ftends to𝓝 (𝓝 a)wheneverftends to𝓝 a. -
If
Xis an ordered topological space with order topology and no max element, then𝓝 ∘ ftends to𝓝 filter.at_topwheneverftends tofilter.at_top. -
It turns
filter Xinto a T₀ space and the order onfilter Xis the dual of thespecialization_order (filter X).
