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
Xis a topological space, then the map𝓝 : X → Filter Xis a topology inducing map.In particular, it is a continuous map, so
𝓝 ∘ ftends to𝓝 (𝓝 a)wheneverftends to𝓝 a.If
Xis an ordered topological space with order topology and no max element, then𝓝 ∘ ftends to𝓝 Filter.atTopwheneverftends toFilter.atTop.It turns
Filter Xinto a T₀ space and the order onFilter Xis the dual of thespecializationOrder (Filter X).
