Functions satisfying a local predicate form a sheaf. #

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

At this stage, in topology/sheaves/sheaf_of_functions.lean we've proved that not-necessarily-continuous functions from a topological space into some type (or type family) form a sheaf.

Why do the continuous functions form a sheaf? The point is just that continuity is a local condition, so one can use the lifting condition for functions to provide a candidate lift, then verify that the lift is actually continuous by using the factorisation condition for the lift (which guarantees that on each open set it agrees with the functions being lifted, which were assumed to be continuous).

This file abstracts this argument to work for any collection of dependent functions on a topological space satisfying a "local predicate".

As an application, we check that continuity is a local predicate in this sense, and provide

A sheaf constructed in this way has a natural map stalk_to_fiber from the stalks to the types in the ambient type family.

We give conditions sufficient to show that this map is injective and/or surjective.

structure Top.prelocal_predicate {X : Top} (T : X Type v) :

Given a topological space X : Top and a type family T : X → Type, a P : prelocal_predicate T consists of:

  • a family of predicates P.pred, one for each U : opens X, of the form (Π x : U, T x) → Prop
  • a proof that if f : Π x : V, T x satisfies the predicate on V : opens X, then the restriction of f to any open subset U also satisfies the predicate.

The natural transformation including the subpresheaf of functions satisfying a local predicate into the presheaf of all functions.

The stalk_to_fiber map is surjective at x if every point in the fiber T x has an allowed section passing through it.

The stalk_to_fiber map is injective at x if any two allowed sections which agree at x agree on some neighborhood of x.

Some repackaging: the presheaf of functions satisfying continuous_prelocal is just the same thing as the presheaf of continuous functions.
