12 1. Motivation Let p be a prime number and let us denote by A the Steenrod algebra over the prime field F p. For a space X, we denote by H (X) the cohomology group with coefficients in F. Then, H p (X) has a structure of left A -module. Let us denote by A the dual Steenrod algebra. J. Milnor defined a map : H (X) H (X) A from the A -module structure of H (X). We call this map the Milnor coaction. He showed that is coassociative and counital, that is, is a representation of the affine group scheme represented by A on H (X). This motivates us to introduce various methods in representation theory to study the category of modules over the Steenrod algebra.

13 2. The Milnor coaction Let A be a graded Hopf algebra over a field K and M a graded left A -module with structure map : A M M. We assume that A and M n are finite type, namely, A and n M are finite dimensional for all n Z. n Put Hom(A, K) = A -n and consider the dual Hopf algebra A = A of A. We review how Milnor defined the coaction n n Z in this section. i+j : M M A = M A j Z i Z -i

14 In Milnor s paper The Steenrod algebra and its dual, the original definition of the Milnor coaction is as follows. He also remarked the following in the next paragraph.

15 Namely, the target of the Milnor coaction should be the completed tensor product in general, hence we have to give suitable topologies on H and A. Since the above definition of the Milnor coaction is very brief, next we try to describe the Milnor coaction in detail.

16 For vector spaces V and W, we consider the following maps. D V,W D : Hom(V, W) Hom(Hom(W, K), Hom(V, K)) V,W : Hom(V, K) Hom(W, K) Hom(V W, K) V,W : V Hom(Hom(V, K), K) V T V,W : V W W V assigns a linear map to its dual map, is defined by (f g) = f g, is defined by (x)(f) = f(x) and V,W V,W V,W V,W T V,W is the switching map. We note that D V,W W are finite dimensional., and are isomorphisms if V and V,W V

17 Let i j i+j i,j: A Hom(M, M ) be the adjoint of a component : A M M i,j i j i+j of : A M M. We put D = (-1) D : Hom(M, M ) Hom(Hom(M, K), Hom(M, K)). j i+j j,i+j i(i+j) M,M j i+j i+j j Let : A Hom(M, K) Hom(M, K) be the adjoint of the i,j i i+j following composition. j i j i+j i,j D j,i+j A Hom(M, M ) Hom(Hom(M, K), Hom(M, K)) i+j j

18 i i i i A i -i We put = (-1) : A Hom(Hom(A, K), K) = Hom(A, K), i+j = (-1) i+j : Hom(M, K) Hom(A, K) Hom(M A, K) i,j i(i+j) M,A -i i+j -i -i and T = (-1) T i+j i: Hom(M, K) A A Hom(M, K). i,j i(i+j) Hom(M, K),A i+j i i i+j Since A and M are finite type, and are isomorphisms. i i,j Let : Hom(M A, K) Hom(M, K) be the following i,j composition. i+j -i j i+j Hom(M A, K) Hom(M, K) Hom(A, K) -i -1 i,j i+j -i -1 (1 i T i,j i+j i i i+j i,j Hom(M, K) A A Hom(M, K) Hom(M, K) j

19 Then, is regarded as an element of Since D j i+j M,M A i,j -i i+j Hom(Hom(M A, K), Hom(M, K)). j i+j Let : M M A be the map whose i-th component -i i+j -i -i : Hom(M, M A ) Hom(Hom(M A, K), Hom(M, K)) is an isomorphism, there exists a unique element of Hom(M, M j i+j i+j : M M A i,j j A ) that maps to by D j i+j. -i j i+j j -i i Z is. Finally, the Milnor coaction i,j : M M A = M A i,j j Z i Z -i j M,M A is the map whose component of degree j is. j i+j -i -i j

20 Milnor showed that the left A-module structure : A M M is recovered from the Milnor coaction as follows. Theorem 2.1 For i x A and j m M, (x m) = (-1) a (x)m if ij k Z k k j+l (m) = m a M A. j k Z k k l Z -l

21 3. Topological graded rings and modules Definition 3.1 (1) We say that a graded ring K is commutative if mn xy = (-1) yx for any m, n Z and x K, y K. (2) Let K be a graded ring and M a graded K -module. A submodule of M is said to be homogeneous if it is n generated by elements of M. Similarly, an ideal of n Z K is said to be homogeneous if it is generated by elements of K. n Z n From now on, an ideal of a graded ring always means a homogeneous ideal and a submodule of a graded module means a homogeneous submodule unless otherwise stated. m n

22 Definition 3.2 (1) For a topological graded ring A, we denote by I the set of open homogeneous two-sided ideals of A. If I is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0, A A is said to be linearly topologized. A (2) Let A and K be linearly topologized graded rings and : K A a continuous homomorphism preserving degrees. mn m n If (x)y = (-1) y (x) holds for any m, n Z and x K, y A, (A, ) (or A for short) is called a topological K -algebra.

23 (3) Let (A, ) and (B, ) be topological K -algebras. If a continuous homomorphism f : A B preserving degrees satisfies f =, we call f a homomorphism of topological K -algebras. (4) For a commutative linearly topologized graded ring K, we denote by TopAlg K the category of commutative topological K -algebras and homomorphisms of topological K -algebras.

24 Definition 3.3 (1) Let L, M and N be graded abelian groups. A map : L M N is said to be biadditive if satisfies the following conditions (i) and (ii). l m l+m (i) (L M ) N for any l, m Z. (ii) (x+y, z) = (x, z) + (y, z), (x, z+w) = (x, z) + (x, w) for any x, y L and z, w M. (2) Suppose that K is a commutative graded ring and L, M, N are graded left K -modules. If : L biadditive and satisfies the following condition (iii), we say that is bilinear. (iii) (rx, z) = r (x, z), (x, rz) = (-1) r (x, z) if r K, x L and z M for l, n Z. ln M N is n l

25 Definition 3.4 (1) For a topological graded K -module M, let us denote by V the set of homogeneous open submodules of M. M If V is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0, M we say that M is linearly topologized. (2) Let K be a linearly topologized graded ring and M a topological graded left (resp. right) K -module. If { IM I I } (resp. { M I I I }) is a fundamental system K K of neighborhoods of 0, we say that the topology of M is induced by K. Remark 3.5 If A is a topological K -algebra and we regard A as a left (right) K -module, then the topology of A the topology induced by K. is coarser than

26 Definition 3.6 Let L, M and N be linearly topologized graded abelian groups. We say that a biadditive map : L M N strongly continuous if, for any open subgroup U of N, there exist an open subgroup V of L and an open subgroup W of M such that (V are contained in U. M ) and (L is W )

27 Proposition 3.7 Let K be a linearly topologized graded ring and M, N linearly topologized graded left K -modules. (1) The topology of M is coarser than the topology induced by K if and only if the structure map : K strongly continuous. (2) Let f : M the topology of M induced by K, then f is continuous. M M is N be a homomorphism of left K -modules. If is finer than the topology induced by K and the topology of N is coarser than the topology

28 For a linearly topologized graded ring K, we denote by TopMod K K -modules and continuous homomorphisms preserving induced by K. the category of linearly topologized graded left degrees. We denote by TopMod TopMod K the full subcategory of consisting of linearly topologized graded left K -modules whose topology are coarser than the topology Proposition 3.8 (1) TopMod is complete and cocomplete. K i For objects M and N of TopMod, we denote by (2) TopMod is complete and finitely cocomplete. K i K K Hom (M, N ) K the set of all morphisms in TopMod K from M to N.

29 4. Suspensions Let : K K be a homomorphism of graded rings given by K n n K K K K K (r) = (-1) r if r K. Then, it is clear that is continuous K and = id. We call the conjugation of K. For m Z and an object M m K M of TopMod as follows. of TopMod, define an object K

30 Definition 4.1 If : K M M is the K -module structure of M, we m m m define the K -module structure : K M m such that the set of open submodules of M M M by (r, ([m],x)) = ([m], ( (r),x)) for r K and x M, where : K m i i-m m i Put ( M ) = {[m]} M isomorphism of abelian groups. m m K m K K is the m times composition of K. If U is an submodule of M m, we can regard U as a m for i Z and give ( M ) the structure of an abelian group such that the projection m i ( M ) = {[m]} M i-m onto the second component is an submodule of M. We give a linear topology on M of m m is given by V = m M m { U U V }. M

31 If f : M N is a morphism in TopMod, we denote by m m m m i f: M N m i m ([m],f(x)) ( N ). It is easy to verify that f is a morphism in TopMod. Thus we have a functor K m the map which maps ([m],x) ( M ) to m : TopMod TopMod. m K K K We call M and f the m-fold suspension of M and f, respectively.

32 5. Completion of topological modules Definition 5.1 We say that an object M complete for each n Z. of TopMod is complete if M is K n Let M an object of TopMod. Regarding V as a category M whose morphisms are inclusion maps, consider a functor (M D : V TopMod M M the limit lim D U U V for U V K of D, namely, there is a limiting cone M M M U M /U ). Since the quotient maps p : M M /U define a cone of D, there is a unique map M M U M U : M M satisfying = p for any U V. M M given by D (U ) = K M M M /U. We denote by

33 Proposition 5.2 The image of : M M is dense and onto its image. M M is an open map Proposition 5.3 (1) M is Hausdorff if and only if : M M is injective. (2) M is complete Hausdorff. (3) M is complete Hausdorff if and only if : M M is an isomorphism. M M

34 Definition 5.4 The limit M of D : V TopMod is called the completion of M. M M K Let f : M (M N be a morphism in TopMod. For each U V, K N we have a map f : M /f (U ) N /U induced by f. Then, f -1 U f (U ) U -1 N /U ) is a cone of D : V TopMod. U V N There exists a unique morphism f : M N the following diagram commute for any U V. N M M M N f N f N N N K which makes

35 Proposition 5.5 Let f : M N be a morphism in TopMod such that N is complete Hausdorff. Then, there exists a unique morphism g : M N such that g =f. M Let us denote by TopMod K (resp. TopMod ) the full ck ck i K i subcategory of TopMod (resp. TopMod ) consisting of K objects which are complete Hausdorff. Proposition 5.6 A functor C : TopMod TopMod i ck (resp. C : TopMod K ck K TopMod ) defined by C(M ) = M and C(f) = f is a left adjoint of the inclusion functor TopMod TopMod (resp. i ck TopMod TopMod ). i K ck K i

36 6. Topologies on graded modules Definition 6.1 (1) A linearly topologized graded ring K is said to be finite if K is discrete and artinian. (2) For a linearly topologized graded ring K, we say that an ideal I of K that K ideals of K hood of 0. (3) If the topology of K is coarser (resp. finer) than the cofinite topology, we say that K supercofinite). Hence K cofinite ideal is open). is cofinite if K /I is artinian. We say has the cofinite topology if the set of all cofinite is a fundamental system of the neighbor- is subcofinite (resp. is subcofinite (resp. supercofinite) if and only if every open ideal is cofinite (resp. every

37 Definition 6.2 (1) An object M of TopMod is said to be finite if M is K discrete and of finite length. (2) For an object M of TopMod, we say that a submodule K N of M is cofinite if M /N is finite. We say that M has the cofinite topology if the set of all cofinite submodules of M is a fundamental system of the neighborhood of 0. (3) If the topology of M is coarser (resp. finer) than the cofinite topology, we say that M is subcofinite (resp. supercofinite). Hence M is subcofinite (resp. supercofinite) if and only if every open submodule is cofinite (resp. every cofinite submodule is open).

38 (4) If M is complete Haudorff and subcofinite, we say that M (5) For a non-negative integer n, let us denote by M [n] the submodule of M generated by M. We say that an neighborhood of 0. i n object M of TopMod has a skeletal topology if is profinite. { M [n] skeletal topology, we say that M n is open). K n = 0, 1, 2,...} is a fundamental system of the (6) If the topology of M is coarser (resp. finer) than the superskeletal). Hence M i is subskeletal (resp. if and only if every open submodule contains M [n] for some n (resp. every submodule containing M [n] for some is subskeletal (resp. superskeletal)

39 Proposition 6.3 and quotient module of M are subcofinite. (1) If M is a subcofinite K -module, then each submodule (2) If (M ) is a family of subcofinite K i -modules, then i I M i I i is also subcofinite. (3) M is isomorphic to a submodule of product of finite K -modules if and only if M is subcofinite and Hausdorff. (4) If M is subcofinite, the completion M is also subcofinite. Proposition 6.4 Let M and N be objects of TopMod. If M is super- cofinite and N is subcofinite or M is superskeletal and N is subskeletal, then every linear map from M to N preserving degrees is continuous. K

40 7. Tensor products of topological modules For objects M, N of TopMod, we give a topology on { Ker (p q : M M N so that K U V K N M /U N /V) K K M U V, V V } is a fundamental system of the neighborhood of 0. V Here, we denote by p : M M /U and q : N N /V the U quotient maps for submodules U of M and V of N. N We denote by M N the completion of M N and call K K this the completed tensor product of M and N.

41 Proposition 7.1 M,N K M, N A map : M N M N defined by (x,y) = x y is a strongly continuous bilinear map and, for a strongly continuous bilinear map B : M N L, there exists a unique K K M, N morphism B : M N L in TopMod satisfying B = B. Proposition 7.2 (1) If M or N has a topology coarser than the topology induced by K, the topology on M N the topology induced by K. is coarser than (2) M has a topology coarser than the topology induced by K if and only if there is an isomorphism K M M. K K

42 For objects M and N of TopMod, define a morphism m,n m n M, N K : M N (M N ) K m+n m,n m n m+n M, N K as follows. Define : M N (M N ) by m,n M, N for (x, y) M n(i-m) (([m], x), ([n], y)) = ([m+n], (-1) (x,y)) K M, N i-m j-n m,n N. Then, it is easy to verify that M, N is bilinear and strongly continuous. Let m,n M, N be the unique morphism satisfying m,n M, N m n =. M, N m,n M, N Clearly, m,n M, N is a natural isomorphism.

43 For an object M of TopMod, define a morphism m by K. s m : M ( K ) M M by s ([m], x) = (([m],1), x) for x M. m M Then, s m M We note that s K, M m M the topology on M m K m is a natural isomorphism if and only if K i-m is a homomorphism of K -modules is coarser than the topology induced

44 8. Spaces of homomorphisms l For r K and a morphism f : M N, define a morphism l+m rf : M N in TopMod by (rf)([l+m], x) = rf([m], x) for x M. Definition 8.1 For objects M and N of TopMod n Hom (M, N ) of TopMod as follows. Put K K Hom (M, N ) = (Hom (M, N )) = Hom ( M, N ). m, we define an object n n l n l+n The maps K Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) for l, n Z given by (r,f) rf define a left K -module structure of Hom (M, N ). K K

45 For morphisms f : M N, g : N L in TopMod, define maps f : Hom (N, L ) Hom (M, L ) and g : Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, L ) n n m by f ( ) = f and g ( ) = g for Hom (N, L ) and Hom (M, N ). It is easy to verify that f and g are maps of K -modules. For a submodule S of M and a submodule U of N, we put S U O(S, U ) = Ker( i p : Hom (M, N ) Hom (S, N /U )). K Here we denote by i : S M the inclusion map and by p U : N N /U the quotient map. S

46 Let F be the set of finitely generated submodules of M. M Define a topology on Hom (M, N ) such that { O(S, U ) S F, U V } M N is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of 0. We denote by M the dual module Hom (M, K ) of M. Proposition 8.2 N Define a map : N Hom (K, N ) by ( (x))([n], s) = (-1) sx n for x N and s K. Then, is an isomorphism whose inverse is the evaluation map E 1 : Hom (K, N ) N E 1 (f) = f([k], 1) for f Hom (K, N ). k N N n defined by

47 9. Adjointness K K k k. For x M, define a map f : N L K x k n n-k x Let M, N, L be objects of TopMod and f : M N L a morphism in TopMod by f (y) = f(x y) for y ( N ) = N. Then, f is an element x k k of Hom (N, L ) = Hom ( N, L ). Thus we have a map (f ) : M Hom a k K a k k k K ( N, L ) given by (f ) (x) = f and a family of linear maps ((f ) ) defines a x a morphism f : M Hom (N, L ) in TopMod K a k k Z. Define a map = : Hom (M N, L ) Hom (M, Hom (N, L )) by (f) = f ạ M, N, L K K K

48 Proposition 9.1 M, N, L is satisfied, is injective and if one of the following conditions M, N, L is an isomorphism. (i) M N is supercofinite and L is subcofinite. K (ii) M N is superskeletal and L K is subskeletal. (iii) The topology on M N is finer than the topology K induced by K and the topology on L is coarser than the topology induced by K.

49 10. Completion of spaces of homomorphisms Proposition 10.1 If N is Hausdorff, so is Hom (M, N ). Proposition 10.2 If N is complete Hausdorff, : Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) M is an isomorphism in TopMod. K Proposition 10.3 Suppose that N complete Hausdorff. is complete Hausdorff. If there exists a finitely generated open submodule of M, Hom (M, N ) is

50 Proposition 10.4 If one of the following conditions (i) or (ii) is satisfied, there exists a unique monomorphism that makes a diagram commute. : Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) M, N Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) N M, N Hom (M, N ) (i) M is supercofinite and N is subcofinite. (ii) M has a finitely generated open submodule.

51 Definition 10.5 (1) We say that a pair (M, N ) of objects of TopMod is each (S, U ) C. nice if there exists a cofinal subset C of F V such M N that i S U p : Hom (M, N ) Hom (S, N /U ) is surjective for (2) We say that a pair (M, N ) of objects of TopMod is and S is projective for each (S, U ) C. very nice if there exists a cofinal subset C of F such that i S U op K K op V M N p : Hom (M, N ) Hom (S, N /U ) is surjective

52 Remark 10.6 (1) A pair (M, N ) is nice if one of the following conditions is satisfied. (i) N (ii) M is injective and there exists a cofinal subset S of F such that every element of S is projective. M is projective and there exists a cofinal subset M op of V such that N /U is injective for every U M. N (iii) There exists a cofinal subset S of F such that every element of S is a direct summand of M exists a cofinal subset M of V element of M is a direct summand of N. M and there (2) (M, N ) is a very nice pair if the above (i) is satisfied. a field and M is supercofinite. op N such that every op M N (3) The above (iii) is satisfied for S = F and M = V if K is

53 Theorem 10.7 Suppose that (M, N ) is nice. If one of the following conditions (i) or (ii) is satisfied, then the morphism : Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) M, N given in (10.4) is an isomorphism. (i) M is supercofinite and N is subcofinite. (ii) M has a finitely generated open submodule.

54 11. Tensor products and spaces of homomorphisms s s K Let M, N (s = 1, 2) be objects of TopMod. We define a map : Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) Hom (M M, N N ) of graded K -modules by m+n m,n M, M (f g) = (f g)( ) m n for f Hom (M, N ) and g Hom (M, N ). In other words, m+n n(i-m) (f g)([m+n], x y) = (-1) f([m], x) g([n], y) i-m j-n 2 K if x M, y M. Then, is a morphism in TopMod. We denote by : ˆ Hom (M, N ) Hom (M, N ) Hom (M M, N N ) K the completion of K K K K K

67 13. Quasi-topological category We denote by Top the category of topological spaces and continuous maps. For x X, we denote by ev : Top(X, Y) Y the map defined x by ev (f) = f(x). For O Y, put W(x, O) = ev (O). x We give Top(X, Y) the pointwise convergent topology generated by {W(x, O) x X, O is an open set of Y}. In other words, the pointwise convergent topology on Top(X, Y) is the coarsest topology that ev is continuous x for every x X. -1 x

68 Proposition 13.1 Let X, Y and Z be topological spaces. (1) A map : Z Top(X, Y) is continuous if and only if ev : Z Y is continuous for any x X. x (2) For a continuous map f : X Y, the maps f : Top(Y, Z) Top(X, Z) and f : Top(Z, X) Top(Z, Y) induced by f are continuous.

69 Definition 13.2 A category T is called a quasi-topological category if the following conditions are satisfied. (1) For each R, S Ob T, T(R, S) is a topological space. (2) For any morphism f : R S in T and Z Ob T, the maps f : T(Z, R) T(Z, S) and f : T(S, Z) T(R, Z) are continuous. It follows from (2) of (13.1) that Top is a quasi-topological category.

70 Condition 13.3 Let T be a quasi-topological category and D : D T a functor. For an object X of T, define functors D : D Top X op X X X and D : D Top by D (i) = T(X, D(i)), D ( ) = D( ) We consider the following conditions. (T(C, X) T(D(i), X)) is a limiting cone of D. X X and D (i) = T(D(i), X), D ( ) = D( ) for i Ob D and Mor D. i (L) If (L D(i)) is a limiting cone of D, i Ob D (T(X, L) i T(X, D(i))) is a limiting cone of D. i i Ob D (C) If (D(i) C) is a colimiting cone of D, i i Ob D i Ob D Proposition 13.4 The conditions (L) and (C) of (13.3) are satisfied for any functor D : D Top and topological space X. X X

71 For categories C and D, we denote by Funct(C, D) the category of functors from C to D and natural trans- formations between them. Definition 13.5 Let C and T be quasi-topological categories. We say that a functor F : C T is continuous if F : C(R, S) T(F(R), F(S)) is continuous for any R,S Ob C. We denote by Funct (C, T) the full subcategory of c Funct(C, T) consiting of continuous functors.

72 Proposition 13.6 Let T be a quasi-topological category and R an object of T. Then, the functor h : T Top represented by R is R continuous. Proposition 13.7 Let C be a quasi-topological category and D : D Funct (C, Top) a functor. c (1) If (L i D(i)) is a limiting cone of D, L is a i Ob D continuous functor. i (2) If (D(i) C) is a colimiting cone of D, L is a i Ob D continuous functor.

73 Let us denote by Set the category of sets and maps and by : Top Set the forgetful functor. Corollary 13.8 For a quasi-topological category C, the composition of the inclusion functor and the functor : Funct c(c, Top) Funct(C, Set) Funct (C, Top) Funct(C, Top) c : Funct(C, Top) Funct(C, Set) induced by creates limits and colimits. Hence Funct (C, Top) is complete and cocomplete. c

74 Let C and T be categories. For R Ob C, define an evaluation functor E : Funct(C, T) T at R by E (F) = F(R) R R and E ( R ) = R. Let T be a quasi-topological category. For F, G Ob Funct(C, T), we give Funct(C, T)(F, G) the coarsest topology such that E : Funct(C, T)(F, G) T(F(R), G(R)) is R continuous for any object R of C. Proposition 13.9 Let C be a category and T a quasi-topological category. Then, Funct(C, T) is a quasi-topological category.

75 Proposition Let T be a quasi-topological category and F : C T a functor. i (1) Suppose that (L D(i)) is a limiting cone of a (13.3) (T = Top, for example). Then, (Funct(C, T)(F, L) i Ob D functor D : D Funct(C, T) and that, for any R Ob C, E D : D T and F(R) Ob T satisfy the condition (L) of R Mor D. i Funct(C, T)(F, D(i))) i Ob D is a limiting cone of a functor D : D Top defined by F D (i) = Funct(C, T)(F, D(i)) and D ( ) = D( ) for i Ob D, F F

76 (2) Suppose that (D(i) i C) is a colimiting cone of a i Ob D functor D : D Funct(C, T) and that, for any R Ob C, E D : D T and F(R) Ob T satisfy the condition (C) of R (13.3) (T = Top, for example). Then, (Funct(C, T)(C, L) Mor D. i Funct(C, T)(D(i), F)) i Ob D is a limiting cone of a functor D : D Top defined by D F(i) = Funct(C, T)(D(i), F) and D F ( ) = D( ) for i Ob D, F op

77 Definition If T = Set or Top, for a functor F : C T, we denote by C F the category of F-models, that is, C is given by F Ob C = {(R, x) R Ob C, x F(R)}, F C ((R, x), (Y, y)) = {f C(R, Y) F(f)(x) = y}. F Remark R Since {E (W(x, O)) (R, x) Ob C, O is an open set of G(R)} is a subbasis of the topology on Funct(C, Top)(F, G), a map f : Z Funct(C, Top)(F, G) is continuous if and only if ev E f : Z G(R) is continuous for any (R, x) Ob C. x R F F

78 Lemma Let C be a quasi-topological category and F : C Top a functor. For (R, x) Ob C and S Ob C, define a map F ( (F) ) : h (S) F(S) by ( (F) ) (f) = F(f)(x) for (R, x) S R (R, x) f C(R,S) = h (S). If F is continuous, ( (F) R Thus we have a morphism (F) (R, x) S : h F in Funct(C, Top). R (R, x) S ) is continuous. Let C be a category and R an object of C. Define a map R R R R R (G) : Funct(C, Top)(h, G) G(R) by (G)( ) = (id ).

79 Proposition For an object R of C and a functor G : C Top, the following topologies O, O 1 and O 2 on Funct(C, Top)(h R, G) are the same. (i) O is the coarsest topology such that (ii) O (iii) O E : Funct(C, Top)(h, G) Top(h (S), G(S)) S is continuous for any S Ob C. 1 the coarsest topology such that (G) : Funct(C, Top)(h, G) G(R) is continuous. R R 2 is the coarsest topology such that R E : Funct(C, Top)(h, G) Top(h (R), G(R)) is continuous. R R R R

80 Corollary (Yoneda embedding) A functor h : C Funct (C, Top) defined by h(r) = h and h(f) = h f op is continuous. Proposition (Yoneda s lemma) c Let C be a quasi-topological category and F : C Top a continuous functor. Then, (F) : Funct(C, Top)(h, F) F(R) R R is a homeomorphism. Proposition Let C be a quasi-topological category. The functor : Funct (C, Top) Funct(C, Set) c given in (13.8) has a left adjoint. R

81 If C is a quasi-topological category, we denote by op F D(F) : C Funct (C, Top) a functor given by D(F)(R, x) = h and D(F)(f) = h. Proposition f c Let C be a quasi-topological category. If F : C Top is a colimit of representable functors, then (F) (R,x) (R, x) Ob C F op F (D (R,x) F) F is a colimiting cone of the functor D(F) : C Funct (C, Top). Hence F is in the image of a left adjoint of the functor given in (13.8). : Funct (C, Top) Funct(C, Set) c c R

82 For a quasi-topological category C and a functor op (13.15). Proposition (1) If F : C Top is a colimit of representable functors and (h (i) F) is a cone of h such that c op D : D we denote by h : D Funct (C, Top) the composition of functors D D i op : D D op C and h : C Funct (C, Top) defined in i Ob D ( ) ( (h (i)) i (F)) is a colimiting cone of h. D i Then, (h (i) F) is a colimiting cone of h. D i Ob D (2) Suppose that F is a colimit of h : D Funct (C, Top) and that L is a limit of D.

83 Proposition Let A be an object of a quasi-topological category C and F : C Top a functor. Suppose that a limit L(F) of the op F functor D(F) ˆ : C C defined in (13.19) exists. If F is a colimit of representable functors, there is a bijection : Funct(C, Top)(F, h ) C(A, L(F)) = C (L(F), A). F, A Moreover, if the condition (L) of (13.3) is satisfied for A and (L(F) (R,x) D(F)(R, x)), is a homeomorphism. (R, x) Ob C F, A F Proposition For objects F and G of Funct(C, Top), suppose that limits of op F D(F) ˆ : C C and D(G) ˆ : C C exist and that F is a colimit L : Funct(C, Top)(F, G) op G of representable functors. If the condition (L) of (13.3) is (R,x) satisfied for L(G) and (L(F) D(F)(R, x)), then A C(L(G),L(F)) is continuous. op (R, x) Ob C F

84 For a quasi-topological category C, we denote by Funct (C, Top) the full subcategory of Funct(C, Top) r consisting of functors which are colimit of representable functors. Proposition For F, G Ob Funct (C, Top), there is a product of F and G r in Funct (C, Top). r

85 Definition Let A and B be objects of a quasi-topological category C. A topological coproduct of A and B is a coproduct 1 2 A A B B of A and B such that coproducts. 1 2 C(A,R) C(A B,R) C(B,R) is a product of C(A,R) and C(B,R) in Top for any R Ob C. If each pair of objects of C has a topological coproduct, we say that C is a category with finite topological Theorem If C is quasi-topological category with finite topological coproducts, Funct (C, Top) is a cartesian closed category. r

86 14. Topological affine scheme For objects A and B of TopAlg, we give a topology on K the set of morphisms TopAlg B K (A, B ) by giving a uniform structure as follows. For p TopAlg (A, B ), S A and K J I, we put U(S, J) = {(f, g) TopAlg ( A, B ) TopAlg ( A, B K U(p;S, J) = {f TopAlg K ) f(x) - g(x) J if (A, B ) (f, p) U(S, J)}. K x S}, Recall that F denotes the set of finitely generated A K -submodules of A. We also put B = {U(S, J) S F, J I }, B = {U(p;S, J) S F, J I }. p A B A B

87 B is a basis of a uniform structure of TopAlg B p K (A, B ) and is a basis of the neighborhood of p with respect to the topology defined by the uniform structure of TopAlg (A, B ). K If C is a subcategory of TopAlg K, we give C(A,B ) the K topology induced by TopAlg (A, B ) for A, B Ob C. K We remark that TopAlg (A, B ) is a subspace of Hom (A, B ) if we regard A and B as objects of TopMod. K 0

88 Definition 14.1 Let Top be the category of topological spaces and continuous maps. For an object A of TopAlg and a subcategory K C of TopAlg, we denote by h : C Top the functor repre- K A A K sented by A, that is, h maps B Ob C to TopAlg (A, B ). We call h a topological affine K -scheme. Thus we have a A op functor h : C Funct(C, Top) given by h(a ) = h and h(f)=f. A Genarally, we call a functor from a subcategory of TopAlg K to Top a topological K -functor.
