The patch criterion for spectral spaces #
A T0 topology generated by a family of clopen subsets of a compact space is spectral. This is
the reusable criterion behind the spectrality of valuation spectra (Wedhorn, Adic Spaces,
arXiv:1910.05934v1, Proposition 3.31): a compact witness topology t' on X together with a
family U of t'-clopen sets generating a T0 topology t = generateFrom U produces a
spectral space, and the members of U are quasi-compact opens of t.
The ambient TopologicalSpace X instance plays the role of the generated topology, pinned by
the hypothesis t = generateFrom U in the style of
TopologicalSpace.isTopologicalBasis_of_subbasis; the compact witness topology t' is an
explicit second topology.
Main results #
TauCeti.spectralSpace_of_isClopen_generateFrom: Wedhorn's Proposition 3.31.TauCeti.isCompact_of_isClosed_generateFrom: everyt'-closed set is quasi-compact for the generated topology, andTauCeti.isCompact_of_isClopen_generateFrom: in particular every member ofUis.

A set compact for t' is compact for the coarser topology generateFrom U generated by
t'-open sets.
The generated topology of a compact presentation by open sets is compact; closedness of the generating sets is not needed for this component.
Every set closed for the witness topology is quasi-compact for the generated topology. The
two lemmas below are its instances, at a finite intersection of members of U and at a single
member.
Every finite intersection of members of U is quasi-compact for the generated topology.
Every member of U is quasi-compact for the generated topology.
The generated topology of a compact patch presentation is prespectral.
A set that is quasi-compact and open for the generated topology is clopen for the witness
topology: it is a finite union of finite intersections of members of U. This is the bridge
between the generated and witness topologies that the constructible-topology identification
of a patch presentation consumes.
The generated topology of a compact patch presentation is quasi-separated.
The generated topology of a compact patch presentation is quasi-sober (Wedhorn, Lemma 3.29).
