Some Constructions in the Category of Topological Partial Actions
Abstract
We present some theoretical aspects of the categories of global and partial group actions of topological groups on topological spaces, denoted by G-ActTop and G-pActTop, respectively. We construct topological partial actions on products and disjoint unions of topological spaces, and G-pinvariant subspaces. Furthermore, we provide an adequate definition of congruence (G-pcongruence), which enables the construction of quotient objects in the category of topological partial actions. In addition, we associate a special G-pcongruence to each pair of strong G-pmorphisms. Then, we study products, co-products, equalizers, co-equalizers, pullbacks, and pushouts in the category G-pActTop. We find that the category of topological partial actions is finitely complete and contains a co-complete subcategory. Finally, we show that the relationship between a topological partial action and its enveloping action is functorial. As a consequence, we obtain that the categorical product in G-ActTop coincides with the categorical product in G-pActTop. Moreover, the envelope of a co-product in G-pActTop is given by the co-product of the respective envelopes.
