Compactly generated topological spaces #
This file defines compactly generated topological spaces. A compactly generated space is a space X
whose topology is coinduced by continuous maps from compact Hausdorff spaces to X. In such a
space, a set s is closed (resp. open) if and only if for all compact Hausdorff space K and
f : K → X continuous, f ⁻¹' s is closed (resp. open) in K.
We provide two definitions. UCompactlyGeneratedSpace.{u} X corresponds to the type class where the
compact Hausdorff spaces are taken in an arbitrary universe u, and should therefore always be used
with an explicit universe parameter. It is intended for categorical purposes.
CompactlyGeneratedSpace X corresponds to the case where compact Hausdorff spaces are taken in
the same universe as X, and is intended for topological purposes.
We prove basic properties and instances, and prove that a SequentialSpace is compactly generated,
as well as a Hausdorff WeaklyLocallyCompactSpace.

compactly generated space
The compactly generated topology on a topological space X. This is the finest topology
which makes all maps from compact Hausdorff spaces to X, which are continuous for the original
topology, continuous.
Note: this definition should be used with an explicit universe parameter u for the size of the
compact Hausdorff spaces mapping to X.

Instances For
A topological space X is compactly generated if its topology is finer than (and thus equal to)
the compactly generated topology, i.e. it is coinduced by the continuous maps from compact
Hausdorff spaces to X.
This version includes an explicit universe parameter u which should always be specified. It is
intended for categorical purposes. See CompactlyGeneratedSpace for the version without this
parameter, intended for topological purposes.
The topology of
Xis finer than the compactly generated topology.
Instances
Let f : X → Y. Suppose that to prove that f is continuous, it suffices to show that
for every compact Hausdorff space K and every continuous map g : K → X, f ∘ g is continuous.
Then X is compactly generated.
If X is compactly generated, to prove that f : X → Y is continuous it is enough to show
that for every compact Hausdorff space K and every continuous map g : K → X,
f ∘ g is continuous.

open for every continuous map f : K → X, where K is compact Hausdorff.

closed for every continuous map f : K → X, where K is compact Hausdorff.
In a compactly generated space X, a set s is open when f ⁻¹' s is
open for every continuous map f : K → X, where K is compact Hausdorff.
If the topology of X is coinduced by a continuous function whose domain is
compactly generated, then so is X.
The quotient of a compactly generated space is compactly generated.
The sum of two compactly generated spaces is compactly generated.
