Topology on the set of filters on a type #
This file introduces a 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.isOpen_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.atTop
wheneverf
tends toFilter.atTop
. -
It turns
Filter X
into a T₀ space and the order onFilter X
is the dual of thespecializationOrder (Filter X)
.
