The preimage of a discrete subgroup modulo a subgroup #
Let E be a real topological vector space, L a subgroup of E, and f : E → E' a continuous
linear map, over a ring K such as ℝ or ℂ, which carries L into a discrete subgroup L'
of E'. In the orbit space E / L of translation by L, consider the subgroup f⁻¹(L') / L.
This file shows that it is closed when L' is closed, and that its identity component is the
image of ker f. Combined with Submodule.orbitRelQuotientComapQuotientEquiv, which identifies
the quotient of f⁻¹(L') / L by the image of ker f with (L' ∩ range f) / f(L), this
describes the component group of f⁻¹(L') / L.
For lattices L ⊆ E and L' ⊆ E' in complex vector spaces and a complex linear map f with
f(L) ⊆ L', the subgroup f⁻¹(L') / L is the kernel of the homomorphism of complex tori
E / L → E' / L' induced by f. Its identity component is the image of ker f, which as a
group is ker f / (L ∩ ker f), a complex torus because L ∩ ker f is a full lattice in ker f
(ZLattice.isZLattice_comap_ker_subtype); its component group is (L' ∩ range f) / f(L).

If f carries L into the closed subgroup L', then f⁻¹(L') / L is closed in the orbit
space of translation by L. For lattices and a complex linear f, it is the kernel of the
induced homomorphism of complex tori.
If f carries L into the discrete subgroup L', then the image of ker f is relatively
open in f⁻¹(L') / L: it is the trace on f⁻¹(L') / L of an open subset of the orbit space of
translation by L. For lattices and a complex linear f, the image of ker f is the identity
component of the kernel of the induced homomorphism of complex tori, which is therefore an open
subgroup of that kernel.
If f carries L into the discrete subgroup L', then the connected component of 0 in
f⁻¹(L') / L, inside the orbit space of translation by L, is the image of ker f. For
lattices and a complex linear f, this is the identity component of the kernel of the induced
homomorphism of complex tori.
Inside the subgroup K = f⁻¹(L') / L of the orbit space of translation by L, the image of
ker f is the connected component of 0. Thus the quotient of K by this image, which
Submodule.orbitRelQuotientComapQuotientEquiv identifies with (L' ∩ range f) / f(L), is the
component group of K.
Let the continuous map f carry L into the discrete subgroup L'. The image of the map of
quotients ker f / (L ∩ ker f) → E / L induced by the inclusion of ker f is the identity
component of the kernel f⁻¹(L') / L of the map E / L → E' / L' induced by f. When L is
a full lattice this map is a closed embedding
(Submodule.isClosedEmbedding_orbitRelQuotientMap_subtype together with
ZLattice.isZLattice_comap_ker_subtype), so this identity component is the torus
ker f / (L ∩ ker f).
