Quasi-open map
In topology a branch of mathematics, a quasi-open map or quasi-interior map is a function which has similar properties to continuous maps. However, continuous maps and quasi-open maps are not related.[1]
Definition
A function f : X → Y between topological spaces X and Y is quasi-open if, for any non-empty open set U ⊆ X, the interior of f ('U) in Y is non-empty.[1][2]
Properties
Let f : X → Y be a map between topological spaces.

- Open and closed maps – A function that sends open (resp. closed) subsets to open (resp. closed) subsets
- Proper map – A map between topological spaces with the property that the preimage of every compact is compact

Notes
- This means that if f : X → Y and g : Y → Z are both quasi-open (such that all spaces are topological), then the function composition g ∘ f : X → Z is quasi-open.
