Products of quotient topology same as quotient of product topology

$begingroup$


Let $X$ be a topological space, $p:Xto Y$ be a quotient map, and $q:Xtimes Xto Ytimes Y$ be the quotient map defined by $q(x,y)=(p(x),p(y))$. Prove that the topologies on $Y$ is the same as the topology on $Ytimes Y$ as a quotient of the product topology on $Xtimes X$.

    Are you sure that the last sentence is correct? I suspect that you want to prove that the topology on $Ytimes Y$ induced by $q$ is the same as the product topology on $Ytimes Y$, which isn’t what you actually wrote.

The suggested result is false: the example given in the book Topology and Groupoids,(T&G) p.$111$, is actually that if $p: mathbb Q to Y$ is the quotient map identifying all of $mathbb Z$ to a single point, then $p times 1: mathbb Q times mathbb Q to Y times mathbb Q$ is not a quotient map. So it is expected that $p times p$ is not a quotient map.



The result is true for $p: X to Y$ if $X$ and $Y$ are locally compact and Hausdorff.



This problem led me in my 1961 Oxford thesis to propose using the category of Hausdorff $k$-spaces, and this proposal has been improved by using what have been called compactly generated spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ which have the final topology with respect to (a set of) continuous maps $C to X$ for $C$ compact Hausdorff. This is explained in Section 5.9 of T&G. See also this ncatlab link on convenient categories of topological spaces.
