  Quotient space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given a surjective map f : X → Y from a topological space X to a set Y we can define the quotient topology on Y as the finest topology for which f is continuous.
The quotient space X/~ is then homeomorphic to Y (with its quotient topology) via the homeomorphism which sends the equivalence class of x to f(x).
The continuous maps defined on X/~ are therefore precisely those maps which arise from continuous maps defined on X that respect the equivalence relation (in the sense that they send equivalent elements to the same image).

 Quotient space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In topology and functional analysis, a quotient space is (intuitively speaking) the result ofidentifying or "gluing together" certain points of some other space.
The continuous maps defined on X/~ are therefore precisely those maps which arise from continuous maps defined onX that respect the equivalence relation (in the sense that they send equivalent elements to the same image).
The quotient space is already endowed with a vectorspace structure by the construction of the previous section.

 Hausdorff space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pseudometric spaces typically are not Hausdorff, but they are preregular, and their use in analysis is usually only in the construction of Hausdorff gauge spaces.
In contrast, non-preregular spaces are encountered much more frequently in abstract algebra and algebraic geometry, in particular as the Zariski topology on an algebraic variety or the spectrum of a ring.
Let f : X → Y be a quotient map with X a compact Hausdorff space.

The quotient map induces a group homomorphism from the units of r onto the units of r/j.
The quotient map r/j induces an r module homomorphism from the cosets of h in r to the cosets of y in r/j.
Verify that this is indeed a homomorphism, that the kernel is precisely h (the 0 coset), and that every coset of y is accessible, hence the homomorphism is an isomorphism.

Such a map is called a {\it special generic map}, which was first defined by Burlet and de Rham for $(n, p) = (3, 2)$ and later extended to general $(n, p)$ by Porto, Furuya, Sakuma and Saeki.
In this paper, we study the global topology of such maps for $p = 3$ and give various new results, among which are a splitting theorem for manifolds admitting special generic maps into ${\bf R}^3$ and a classification theorem of 4- and 5-dimensional manifolds with free fundamental groups admitting special generic maps into ${\bf R}^3$.
Throughout the paper, manifolds and maps are of class $C^\infty$ and the symbol ^^ ^^ $\cong$" denotes a diffeomorphism between manifolds or an appropriate isomorphism between algebraic objects.

The resulting distribution map, unlike the one it replaced, revealed a number of ridings with variations in excess of 15 percent from the provincial quotient and indicated a problem of under-representation in urban areas.
A glance at the 1981 map demonstrates that each and every southern riding, whether urban or rural, is within 15 percent of the provincial quotient -- the figure obtained by dividing the southern voting population by the number of southern ridings.
For instance, the 1981 map provides proof that it is possible in Saskatchewan to achieve equality within 15 percent of the provincial quotient for all southern constituencies while still addressing other relevant considerations such as the differing nature of rural and urban interests.

 On The Pullback Stability Of A Quotient Map With Respect To A Closure Operator (ResearchIndex)
There are well-known characterizations of the hereditary quotient maps in the category of topological spaces, (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback along embeddings), as well as of universal quotient maps (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback).
These are precisely the so-called pseudo-open maps, as shown by Arhangel'skii, and the bi-quotient maps of Michael, as shown by Day and Kelly, respectively.
In this paper hereditary and stable quotient maps are characterized...

Let p be the quotient map from X onto Q. Then: p is an open map; i.e., whenever G is an open subset of X, then p(G) is an open subset of Q. Also: If K is closed, then Q is Hausdorff.
The map f factors naturally through p -- we have a map g from Q to Y defined by g(p(x)) = f(x).
Verify that g is a continuous linear bijection from Q onto Y; hence it is an isomorphism of topologies; hence it is an open map.

A Riemann surface is a topological space with a collection of "charts": homeomorphisms phi_i of open subsets of X to open subsets of the complex plane, such that the charts cover X, and wherever two charts overlap, the functions phi_i composed with {phi_j}^{-1} is a holomorphic function.
By the Riemann mapping theorem, though, there is an isomorphism between any two bounded simply connected open subsets of the complex plane; there's a 1-1 map from one to the other which has an inverse which is also holomorphic.
Rational functions are holomorphic maps from the sphere to itself; the points where the denominator goes to zero but the numerator doesn't get mapped to infinity, and infinity gets mapped to the limit of the function as you approach infinity.

A map or continuous function from a topological space (X,OX) to a topological space (Y,OY) is a function from X to Y such that the preimage of any member of OY is a member of OX.
A homeomorphism is a bijective map of which the inverse is a map, too.
Also, there need not be any non-constant maps from [0,1] to a connected topological space (indeed, there exist countable connected Hausdorff spaces), and in such a case all path-components are singletons.
