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
X
is a topological space, then the map𝓝 : X → filter X
is a topology inducing map. -
In particular, it is a continuous map, so
𝓝 ∘ f
tends to𝓝 (𝓝 a)
wheneverf
tends to𝓝 a
. -
If
X
is an ordered topological space with order topology and no max element, then𝓝 ∘ f
tends to𝓝 filter.at_top
wheneverf
tends tofilter.at_top
. -
It turns
filter X
into a T₀ space and the order onfilter X
is the dual of thespecialization_order (filter X)
.
