Quasi-open map
Generalization of open map in topology
In topology , a branch of mathematics, a quasi-open map (also called quasi-interior map ) is a function that generalizes the notion of open map .
Definition
A function f : X → Y between topological spaces is called quasi-open if, for any nonempty open set U ⊆ X , the interior of f ( U ) in Y is nonempty.
Such a function has also been called a quasi-interior map .
Properties
Let f : X → Y be a map between topological spaces .
If f is continuous, it need not be quasi-open. For example, the constant map f : ℝ → ℝ defined by f ( x ) = 0 is continuous but not quasi-open.
Conversely, if f is quasi-open, it need not be continuous. For example, the map f : ℝ → ℝ defined by f ( x ) = x if x < 0 and f ( x ) = x + 1 if x ≥ 0 is quasi-open but not continuous.
If f is open , then f is quasi-open. The converse is not true in general. For example, the continuous function f : ℝ → ℝ , x ↦ sin ( x ) is quasi-open but not open.
If f is a local homeomorphism , then f is quasi-open.
The composition of two quasi-open maps is quasi-open.

Notes
↑ This means that if f : X → Y and g : Y → Z are both quasi-open, then the function composition g ∘ f : X → Z is quasi-open.
