Lie Group Quotient Space


The set of left cosets of a subgroup H of a topological group G forms a topological space. Its topology is defined by the quotient topology from pi:G->G/H. Namely, the open sets in G/H are the images of the open sets in G. Moreover, if H is closed, then G/H is a T2-space.
