In mathematics, if is a subset of , then the inclusion map (also inclusion function, insertion, or canonical injection) 〔, page 5〕 is the function that sends each element, of to , treated as an element of : : A "hooked arrow" is sometimes used in place of the function arrow above to denote an inclusion map. This and other analogous injective functions 〔, page 1 〕 from substructures are sometimes called ''natural injections''. Given any morphism ''f'' between objects ''X'' and ''Y'', if there is an inclusion map into the domain , then one can form the restriction ''fi'' of ''f''. In many instances, one can also construct a canonical inclusion into the codomain ''R''→''Y'' known as the range of ''f''. == Applications of inclusion maps == Inclusion maps tend to be homomorphisms of algebraic structures; thus, such inclusion maps are embeddings. More precisely, given a sub-structure closed under some operations, the inclusion map will be an embedding for tautological reasons. For example, for a binary operation , to require that : is simply to say that is consistently computed in the sub-structure and the large structure. The case of a unary operation is similar; but one should also look at nullary operations, which pick out a ''constant'' element. Here the point is that closure means such constants must already be given in the substructure. Inclusion maps are seen in algebraic topology where if ''A'' is a strong deformation retract of ''X'', the inclusion map yields an isomorphism between all homotopy groups (i.e. is a homotopy equivalence) Inclusion maps in geometry come in different kinds: for example embeddings of submanifolds. Contravariant objects such as differential forms ''restrict'' to submanifolds, giving a mapping in the ''other direction''. Another example, more sophisticated, is that of affine schemes, for which the inclusions :''Spec(R/I)'' → ''Spec(R)'' and :''Spec(R/I2)'' → ''Spec(R)'' may be different morphisms, where ''R'' is a commutative ring and ''I'' an ideal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inclusion map」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
