Semiconjugate by sSup
#
In this file we prove two facts about semiconjugate (families of) functions.
First, if an order isomorphism fa : α → α
is semiconjugate to an order embedding fb : β → β
by
g : α → β
, then fb
is semiconjugate to fa
by y ↦ sSup {x | g x ≤ y}
, see
Semiconj.symm_adjoint
.
Second, consider two actions f₁ f₂ : G → α → α
of a group on a complete lattice by order
isomorphisms. Then the map x ↦ ⨆ g : G, (f₁ g)⁻¹ (f₂ g x)
semiconjugates each f₁ g'
to f₂ g'
,
see Function.sSup_div_semiconj
. In the case of a conditionally complete lattice, a similar
statement holds true under an additional assumption that each set {(f₁ g)⁻¹ (f₂ g x) | g : G}
is
bounded above, see Function.csSup_div_semiconj
.
The lemmas come from [Étienne Ghys, Groupes d'homéomorphismes du cercle et cohomologie bornée][ghys87:groupes], Proposition 2.1 and 5.4 respectively. In the paper they are formulated for homeomorphisms of the circle, so in order to apply results from this file one has to lift these homeomorphisms to the real line first.
We say that g : β → α
is an order right adjoint function for f : α → β
if it sends each y
to a least upper bound for {x | f x ≤ y}
. If α
is a partial order, and f : α → β
has
a right adjoint, then this right adjoint is unique.
Equations
- IsOrderRightAdjoint f g = ∀ (y : β), IsLUB {x : α | f x ≤ y} (g y)
Instances For
If an order automorphism fa
is semiconjugate to an order embedding fb
by a function g
and g'
is an order right adjoint of g
(i.e. g' y = sSup {x | f x ≤ y}
), then fb
is
semiconjugate to fa
by g'
.

Consider two actions f₁ f₂ : G → α → α
of a group on a conditionally complete lattice by order
isomorphisms. Suppose that each set $s(x)=\{f_1(g)^{-1} (f_2(g)(x)) | g \in G\}$ is bounded above.
Then the map x ↦ sSup s(x)
semiconjugates each f₁ g'
to f₂ g'
.
