Summary

A set of equivalence classes supplied with the quotient topology, in which a subset is open exactly when its inverse image under the quotient map is open.

Equivalence relationQuotient space

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The equivalence relation determines the quotient-set representatives; the topology is then the finest topology making the quotient map continuous.

How to interpret this relation type

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Given a topological space XX and an equivalence relation, replace points by their equivalence classes and declare UU open in X/X/{\sim} exactly when its quotient-map preimage is open in XX.

How to interpret this relation type

Identify elements by a stated equivalence relation and equip the quotient with the induced structure. The edge detail must state the representatives and equivalence relation.
