The fibres of a period quotient #
For a period family P : Y → (Λ →ₗ[ℤ] E), the fibre over y of the standard orbit quotient
(Y × E)/Λ → Y is canonically homeomorphic to the standard translation quotient
E / LinearMap.range (P y). The map sends [v] to [y, v] and is independent of any choice of
lattice basis. Its composite with the inclusion of the fibre is a topological embedding.
Only continuity of the periods is needed: neither injectivity nor fullness nor discreteness is required for this topological identification. In particular it applies to continuous and holomorphic families of full lattices. Both quotients carry their quotient topologies, and the fibre carries its subspace topology in the total period quotient.
The quotient topology on the slice {y} × E agrees with the subspace topology of the fibre.

Instances For
The inclusion of a fibre sends the class of v to the class of (y, v).
The image of the fibre map lies over y.
Passing from one period fibre to the total quotient identifies no further points.
The image of the fibre quotient is exactly the set-theoretic fibre of the projection.

of the total period quotient. It sends [v] to [y, v] and needs no lattice basis.
Instances For
The fibre homeomorphism is the canonical inclusion on underlying points.
On representatives, the canonical fibre homeomorphism sends [v] to [y, v].
The inverse fibre homeomorphism sends the class of (y, v) to the class of v.
