A Lie group quotient space is the set
of left cosets of a subgroup
of a Lie group
, equipped with the quotient topology
from
.
More generally, this construction applies to a topological
group
.
Namely, the open sets in
are the images of the open
sets in
.
Moreover, if
is closed, then
is a T2-space.
