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.
