Total spaces of quotients by varying operator ranges #
For a family of linear operators A x : E →L[R] F, take the class of each ambient
vector in F ⧸ (A x).range. With the quotient topology on the total space, this
map is open whenever x ↦ A x u is continuous for every fixed u. No injectivity,
complement, or constant-rank assumption is needed for openness.
The scalars form a ring because Mathlib's Submodule.hasQuotient requires one
to define the fibre quotients, even when the ambient modules are additive groups.
On a domain with a fixed complementary parametrization B, the fibre equivalences
ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeEquiv assemble into a homeomorphism with the
product of the base and the complement. These are the topological local coordinates
for quotient bundles such as intrinsic normal bundles. The topology is supplied as
an explicit quotient-map hypothesis, so this construction preserves an existing
total-space topology rather than introducing a competing instance.
The openness argument uses saturation by translations, as in Mathlib's
isOpenMap_quotient_mk'_add. The coordinate construction uses
ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeEquiv and its representative formulas.

Taking ambient representatives to their classes in the quotients by a family of ranges.
Instances For
Every range-quotient class has an ambient representative with the same base point.
Saturation by range classes is the union of translations by range representatives.
The quotient by continuously varying ranges is an open quotient, including when the operators are not injective and their ranges have varying dimension.
A common complement identifies the total range-quotient space with a product. Continuity of the complementary coordinate is tested on ambient representatives.
Instances For
Complementary coordinates of a quotient class, with the base point retained.
Inverse total-space coordinates take the class of the complementary representative.
