Pseudo-open mapping
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A continuous mapping $ f : X \rightarrow Y $
such that for every point $ y \in Y $
and any neighbourhood $ U $
of the set $ f ^ { - 1 } y $
in $ X $
it is always true that $ y \in \mathop{\rm Int} f U $(
here $ \mathop{\rm Int} f U $
is the set of all interior points of $ f U $
with respect to $ Y $).
Comments
It is also called a hereditarily quotient mapping, because a mapping $ f: X \rightarrow Y $ is pseudo-open if and only if for every $ B \subseteq Y $ the corestriction $ f _ {B} : f ^ { - 1 } [ B] \rightarrow B $ is a quotient mapping.
