I'm wondering about how to solve this one:



Let $X$ be a topological Hausdorff space and $A$ a subspace of $X$.



Let $f:X rightarrow A$ continuous such that $f(a) = a hspace5mm forall a in A$.



Show that $A$ is closed.



Any ideas? I think I might get the solution just by adding compactness to hypoteses..

          Hint: Consider the map $g := (f, operatornameid) : X to X times X$. If $Delta_X$ is the diagonal in $X times X$ (which is closed by the hypothesis that $X$ is Hausdorff) then what can you say about $g^-1(Delta_X)$?






          share|cite|improve this answer




















          • $g^-1(Delta _X)$ is closed because g is continuous.. but could you explain me a little better? What do you mean by $(f,id)$?

          • Also why diagonal is closed? And how it is defined?

          • Another way of saying the definition of $g$ would be: $g(x) = (f(x), x)$.

          • The diagonal is $ (x,y) in X times X mid x = y $. If $X$ is Hausdorff, and $(x, y) in (Delta_X)^c$, that means that $x ne y$, so then choosing disjoint open neighborhoods $U,V$ of $x,y$, then we will have $(x, y) in U times V$ and $U times V subseteq (Delta_X)^c$.
