Proper map
Given topological spaces
Properties
-
If
andπ are locally compactπ - If
is second-countable: a continuous mapπ is proper iff every sequence without limit points maps to a sequence without limit points.π : π β π - A continuous map
is compact iff the mapπ : π β π
π β : π β β π β π β¦ π π₯ β π β¦ π ( π₯ ) between Alexandroff extensions is continuous.
- If
-
If
is compact: all continuous maps are proper, since all compact subsets ofπ are closed and all closed subsets ofπ are compact.π
