Topology on the quotient group #

In this file we define topology on G โงธ N, where N is a subgroup of G, and prove basic properties of this topology.

instance QuotientGroup.instT1Space {G : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace G] [Group G] [ContinuousMul G] {N : Subgroup G} [hN : IsClosed โ†‘N] :

The quotient of a topological group G by a closed subgroup N is T1.

When G is normal, this implies (because G โงธ N is a topological group) that the quotient is T3 (see QuotientGroup.instT3Space).

Back to the general case, we will show later that the quotient is in fact T2 since N acts on G properly.

instance QuotientAddGroup.instT1Space {G : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace G] [AddGroup G] [ContinuousAdd G] {N : AddSubgroup G} [hN : IsClosed โ†‘N] :

The quotient of a topological additive group G by a closed subgroup N is T1.

When G is normal, this implies (because G โงธ N is a topological additive group) that the quotient is T3 (see QuotientAddGroup.instT3Space).

Back to the general case, we will show later that the quotient is in fact T2 since N acts on G properly.

A quotient of a locally compact group is locally compact.

theorem QuotientGroup.nhds_eq {G : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace G] [Group G] [ContinuousMul G] (N : Subgroup G) (x : G) :
nhds โ†‘x = Filter.map mk (nhds x)

Neighborhoods in the quotient are precisely the map of neighborhoods in the prequotient.

theorem QuotientAddGroup.nhds_eq {G : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace G] [AddGroup G] [ContinuousAdd G] (N : AddSubgroup G) (x : G) :
nhds โ†‘x = Filter.map mk (nhds x)

Neighborhoods in the quotient are precisely the map of neighborhoods in the prequotient.

The quotient of a second countable topological group by a subgroup is second countable.

The quotient of a second countable additive topological group by a subgroup is second countable.
