# Continuous finite conjugation relative to a class of source spaces

## Statement

This property requires a conjugate $fgf^{-1}$ and its inverse to be fully continuous whenever $f$ and $g$ satisfy the finite-continuity and forward full-continuity conditions below. The requirement ranges over every component of every closure space in a specified class.

A closure operator here is extensive, monotone, idempotent, and sends the empty set to the empty set. It need not satisfy the finite-union axiom of topological closure. A map $h:(X,c)\to(Y,d)$ is fully continuous when

$$
 h(c(E))\subseteq d(h(E))\qquad(E\subseteq X).
\tag{1}
$$

Finite continuity requires (1) only for finite $E$. A finite-homeomorphism is a bijection for which both the map and its inverse are finitely continuous; neither is thereby assumed fully continuous.

## Definition

Let $(X,c)$ be a closure space, and let $D$ be a class of source closure spaces in a fixed universe. For an eligible source $L$ and $t\in L$, let $M=\operatorname{Comp}_L(t)$, equipped with its **subspace closure**. Components are generated by pairs which are not already closed, together with equality; they are not assumed to be topological connected components or closed subsets.

The property $\operatorname{FC}_D(X,c)$ holds when the following universally quantified requirement holds:

$$
\begin{gathered}
 \text{for every }L\in D,\quad t\in L,\quad M=\operatorname{Comp}_L(t),\\
 \text{for every finite-homeomorphism } f:M\longrightarrow X
       \text{ with }f\text{ fully continuous},\\
 \text{for every finite-homeomorphism } g:M\longrightarrow M
       \text{ with }g\text{ fully continuous},\\[2pt]
 h=f\circ g\circ f^{-1}\text{ and }h^{-1}=f\circ g^{-1}\circ f^{-1}
       \text{ are fully continuous on }(X,c).
\end{gathered}
\tag{2}
$$

Both conclusions are part of the defining conjunction. Explicitly, for every $E\subseteq X$ they require

$$
 \begin{aligned}
 h(c(E))&\subseteq c(h(E)),\\
 h^{-1}(c(E))&\subseteq c(h^{-1}(E)).
 \end{aligned}
\tag{3}
$$

The [finite-conjugation construction](https://exactmathematics.org/mathlibannex/sources/gss-v0.5.0/MathlibAnnex/Topology/ClosureSpace/FiniteHomeomorph.lean.html?from=44&start=46&end=50#L46) uses the same outer maps $f$ and $f^{-1}$ in the inverse, not independently chosen maps.

The hypotheses in (2) impose full continuity on $f$ and $g$ only. They do not impose full continuity on $f^{-1}$ or $g^{-1}$. Both full-continuity conclusions in (3) are required by the definition.

## Assumptions

To form this property one supplies the target closure operator $c$ and the eligible class $D$. In each test, $L$ is any member of $D$, $t$ is any point, and $f,g$ are any finite-homeomorphisms satisfying the two stated forward full-continuity conditions. No eligible source, point, or map is existentially selected by the definition. If there are no qualifying tests, the universal requirement holds vacuously; the definition asserts no realization or existence theorem.

If $j:M\hookrightarrow L$ denotes the inclusion, the source closure used in both map hypotheses is

$$
 c_M(E)=j^{-1}\bigl(c_L(j(E))\bigr)\qquad(E\subseteq M).
\tag{4}
$$

It is not replaced by a closure generated only by finite sets, and $M$ is not equipped with an independently chosen topology.

## Conclusion

The property $\operatorname{FC}_D(X,c)$ is defined by all of (2), including both lines of (3); it need not hold for every closure space. When it holds, the [full conjugation homeomorphism](https://exactmathematics.org/mathlibannex/sources/gss-v0.5.0/MathlibAnnex/Topology/ClosureSpace/FiniteConjugation.lean.html?from=44&start=54&end=67#L54) uses exactly $fgf^{-1}$ and its displayed inverse.

The baseline's old range 41–53 and its header-only signature fingerprint are retained as historical records. The new binding fingerprints the full definition 41–50 separately. The retained printed type for this definition is **not** elided; it records the type of the definition, not a replacement for its defining right-hand side. No new parser or census was run.
