Proper maps between topological spaces #
This file develops the basic theory of proper maps between topological spaces. A map f : X → Y
between two topological spaces is said to be proper if it is continuous and satisfies
the following equivalent conditions:
f
is closed and has compact fibers.f
is universally closed, in the sense that for any topological spaceZ
, the mapProd.map f id : X × Z → Y × Z
is closed.- For any
ℱ : Filter X
, all cluster points ofmap f ℱ
are images byf
of some cluster point ofℱ
.
We take 3 as the definition in IsProperMap
, and we show the equivalence with 1, 2, and some
other variations.

Implementation notes #
In algebraic geometry, it is common to also ask that proper maps are separated, in the sense of
Stacks: definition OCY1. We don't follow this
convention because it is unclear whether it would give the right notion in all cases, and in
particular for the theory of proper group actions. That means that our terminology does NOT
align with that of Stacks: Characterizing proper maps,
instead our definition of IsProperMap
coincides with what they call "Bourbaki-proper".
Regarding the proofs, we don't really follow Bourbaki and go for more filter-heavy proofs,
as usual. In particular, their arguments rely heavily on restriction of closed maps (see
IsClosedMap.restrictPreimage
), which makes them somehow annoying to formalize in type theory.
In contrast, the filter-based proofs work really well thanks to the existing API.
In fact, the filter proofs work so well that I thought this would be a great pedagogical resource about how we use filters. For that reason, all interesting proofs in this file are commented, so don't hesitate to have a look!
TODO #
- prove the equivalence with condition 3 of Stacks: Theorem 005R. Note that they mean something different by "universally closed".

A map f : X → Y
between two topological spaces is said to be proper if it is continuous
and, for all ℱ : Filter X
, any cluster point of map f ℱ
is the image by f
of a cluster point
of ℱ
.

By definition, if
f
is a proper map andℱ
is any filter onX
, then any cluster point ofmap f ℱ
is the image byf
of some cluster point ofℱ

By definition, if f

The composition of two proper maps is proper.
If the composition of two continuous functions g ∘ f
is proper and f
is surjective,
then g
is proper.
If the composition of two continuous functions g ∘ f
is proper and g
is injective,
then f
is proper.
If the composition of two continuous functions f : X → Y
and g : Y → Z
is proper
and Y
is T2, then f
is proper.

Any product of proper maps is proper.
The preimage of a compact set by a proper map is again compact. See also
isProperMap_iff_isCompact_preimage
which proves that this property completely characterizes
proper map when the codomain is compactly generated and Hausdorff.
A map is proper if and only if it is closed and its fibers are compact.
An injective and continuous function is proper if and only if it is closed.

A continuous map from a compact space to a T₂ space is a proper map.
A proper map f : X → Y
is universally closed: for any topological space Z
, the map
Prod.map f id : X × Z → Y × Z
is closed. We will prove in isProperMap_iff_universally_closed
that proper maps are exactly continuous maps which have this property, but this result should be
easier to use because it allows Z
to live in any universe.
A map f : X → Y
is proper if and only if it is continuous and the map
(Prod.map f id : X × Filter X → Y × Filter X)
is closed. This is stronger than
isProperMap_iff_universally_closed
since it shows that there's only one space to check to get
properness, but in most cases it doesn't matter.
