Quotient diffeologies on quotient types #
This file equips the quotient Quotient s of a diffeological space by a setoid with the quotient
diffeology, the diffeology coinduced by Quotient.mk s. It is the diffeological counterpart of
Mathlib's quotient topology instTopologicalSpaceQuotient. A map from a Cartesian space to the
quotient is a plot exactly when it locally lifts to plots of the space, the projection is a
subduction, and a function out of the quotient is smooth exactly when its composite with the
projection is.
Since MulAction.orbitRel.Quotient G X is by definition the quotient by the orbit relation, this
is in particular the diffeology on the orbit space of a group action, for instance the coarse
smooth structure on the quotient of a chart by a finite group acting smoothly. No finiteness or
smoothness of the action is needed for the statements here.
The D-topology of the quotient diffeology is the quotient of the D-topology of the space. Hence,
whenever the topology of the space is its D-topology, the D-topology of the quotient is the
ordinary quotient topology, so the quotient diffeology is compatible with Mathlib's topology on
the quotient type (TauCeti.Diffeology.instIsDTopologyCompatibleQuotient).
