Separated maps and locally injective maps out of a topological space. #
This module introduces a pair of dual notions IsSeparatedMap
and IsLocallyInjective
.
A function from a topological space X
to a type Y
is a separated map if any two distinct
points in X
with the same image in Y
can be separated by open neighborhoods.
A constant function is a separated map if and only if X
is a T2Space
.
A function from a topological space X
is locally injective if every point of X
has a neighborhood on which f
is injective.
A constant function is locally injective if and only if X
is discrete.
Given f : X → Y
we can form the pullback $X \times_Y X$; the diagonal map
$\Delta: X \to X \times_Y X$ is always an embedding. It is a closed embedding
iff f
is a separated map, iff the equal locus of any two continuous maps
coequalized by f
is closed. It is an open embedding iff f
is locally injective,
iff any such equal locus is open. Therefore, if f
is a locally injective separated map,
the equal locus of two continuous maps coequalized by f
is clopen, so if the two maps
agree on a point, then they agree on the whole connected component.
The analogue of separated maps and locally injective maps in algebraic geometry are separated morphisms and unramified morphisms, respectively.

Instances For
A function from a topological space X
is locally injective if every point of X
has a neighborhood on which f
is injective.
Instances For
If p
is a locally injective separated map, and A
is a connected space,
then two lifts g₁, g₂ : A → E
of a map f : A → X
are equal if they agree at one point.
