Topology on the quotient group #

In this file we define topology on G ⧸ N, where N is a subgroup of G, and prove basic properties of this topology.

The quotient of a topological group G by a closed subgroup N is T1.

When G is normal, this implies (because G ⧸ N is a topological group) that the quotient is T3 (see QuotientGroup.instT3Space).

Back to the general case, we will show later that the quotient is in fact T2 since N acts on G properly.

The quotient of a topological additive group G by a closed subgroup N is T1.

When G is normal, this implies (because G ⧸ N is a topological additive group) that the quotient is T3 (see QuotientAddGroup.instT3Space).

Back to the general case, we will show later that the quotient is in fact T2 since N acts on G properly.

A quotient of a locally compact group is locally compact.

Neighborhoods in the quotient are precisely the map of neighborhoods in the prequotient.

Neighborhoods in the quotient are precisely the map of neighborhoods in the prequotient.

The quotient of a second countable topological group by a subgroup is second countable.
