The subspace of unordered tuples with one point in each member of a family #
TauCeti.Sym.pi A is the set of unordered n-tuples having one point in each member of a family
A : Fin n → Set α of subsets. This file gives it its topology, as a subspace of the symmetric
power Sym α n: it is closed when the members of the family are, compact when they are, and, for a
pairwise disjoint family of compact sets in a Hausdorff space, homeomorphic to the product
∀ i, ↥(A i) of its members.
The case to keep in mind is the torus T_α = α₁ × ⋯ × α_g ⊆ Sym^g(Σ) attached to the g
pairwise disjoint attaching circles of a Heegaard diagram on a surface Σ (Ozsváth--Szabó,
Holomorphic disks and topological invariants for closed three-manifolds, §2.1). The circles are
compact and pairwise disjoint, so T_α really is an embedded g-torus and not merely a continuous
image of one. The companion open-range statement, where the members of the family are open rather
than compact and the product is an open subspace, is
TauCeti.Sym.isOpenEmbedding_ofFn_map.

The parametrization of TauCeti.Sym.pi A by ordered tuples is continuous.
The unordered tuples with one point in each member of a family of closed sets form a closed subspace of the symmetric power: the quotient map onto a symmetric power is closed.
The tuples with one point in each member of a pairwise disjoint family of compact sets are
an embedded product. For the attaching circles of a Heegaard diagram this says that the torus
T_α is embedded, and closed, in the symmetric power of the surface.
The subspace TauCeti.Sym.pi A is the product of the members of the family, for a pairwise
disjoint family of compact sets in a Hausdorff space: the topological refinement of
TauCeti.Sym.piEquiv.
