Proof
(related to Proposition: Equivalent Notions of Homeomorphisms)
By hypothesis, $(X,\mathcal O_X)$ and $(Y,\mathcal O_Y)$ are topological spaces and $f:X\to Y$ is a bijective function.
$(1)\Rightarrow(2)$
$(2)\Rightarrow(3)$
- Assume, $f$ is both, continuous and an open function.
- Let $A\subseteq X$ be a subset of $X.$
- Case $A$ is closed in $X.$
- Then $A=A^-$ (equals its closure in $X$).
- Since $f$ is an open function, the image $f[A^-]$ is closed in $Y.$
- Thus, $f[A^-]=f[A^-]^-$ (equals its closure in $Y$).
- Therefore, $f[A^-]=f[A]^-.$
- Case $A$ is open in $X.$
- Since $f$ is continuous, by equivalent notions of continuous functions, $f[A^-]\subseteq f[A]^-.$
- Since $f$ is an open function, $f[A^-]$ is closed in $Y.$
- Therefore, there is no $y\in f[A]^-$ such that $y\not\in f[A^-].$
- In other words, $f[A^-]\subseteq f[A]^-$ and $f[A^-]\not\subset f[A]^-.$
- It follows, $f[A^-]= f[A]^-.$
$(3)\Rightarrow(1)$
