Automorphisms and Endomorphisms of the Partitions of Topological Spaces
摘要
Let X be a topological space, let ∆ be a partition of X, and let Y = X/∆ be a quotient space with the corresponding quotient topology. Then the automorphism group ℋ(∆) of ∆ (i.e., the homeomorphisms of X that permute the elements of partition) acts in a natural way upon Y by homeomorphisms. We determine the cases in which the corresponding homomorphism of the action ψ: ℋ(∆) → ℋ(Y) into the group of homeomorphisms of Y is continuous with respect to the compact-open topologies. The obtained results have applications to the foliation theory.
