In [[mathematics]], a [[continuous function]] between [[topological space]]s is called '''proper''' if [[inverse image]]s of [[compact space|compact subsets]] are compact. In [[algebraic geometry]], the analogous concept is called a [[proper morphism]].
 
== Definition ==
 
A [[function (mathematics)|function]] ''f'' : ''X'' → ''Y'' between two [[topological space]]s is '''proper''' if the [[preimage]] of every [[compact space|compact]] set in ''Y'' is compact in ''X''.
 
There are several competing descriptions. For instance, a continuous map ''f'' is proper if it is a [[closed map]] and the pre-image of every point in ''Y'' is compact. The two definitions are equivalent if Y is compactly generated and Hausdorff. For a proof of this fact see the end of this section. More abstractly, ''f'' is proper if ''f'' is universally closed, i.e. if for any topological space ''Z'' the map
:''f'' × id<sub>''Z''</sub>: ''X'' × ''Z''  &rarr; ''Y''  × ''Z''
is closed. These definitions are equivalent to the previous one if ''X'' is [[Hausdorff space|Hausdorff]] and ''Y'' is [[Locally compact space|locally compact]] Hausdorff.
 
An equivalent, possibly more intuitive definition when ''X'' and ''Y'' are [[metric space]]s is as follows: we say an infinite sequence of points {''p''<sub>''i''</sub>} in a topological space ''X'' '''escapes to infinity''' if, for every compact set ''S'' ⊂ ''X'' only finitely many points ''p''<sub>''i''</sub> are in ''S''. Then a continuous map ''f'' : ''X'' → ''Y'' is proper if and only if for every sequence of points {''p''<sub>''i''</sub>} that escapes to infinity in ''X'', {''f''(''p''<sub>''i''</sub>)} escapes to infinity in ''Y''.
 
This last sequential idea looks like being related to the notion of sequentially proper, see a reference below.
 
=== Proof of fact ===
 
Let <math>f: X \to Y</math> be a continuous closed map, such that <math>f^{-1}(y)</math> is compact (in X) for all <math>y \in Y</math>. Let <math>K</math> be a compact subset of <math>Y</math>. We will show that <math>f^{-1}(K)</math> is compact.
 
Let  <math>\{ U_{\lambda} \vert \lambda\ \in\ \Lambda \}</math> be an open cover of <math>f^{-1}(K)</math>. Then for all <math>k\ \in K</math> this is also an open cover of <math>f^{-1}(k)</math>. Since the latter is assumed to be compact, it has a finite subcover. In other words, for all <math>k\ \in K</math> there is a finite set <math>\gamma_k \subset \Lambda</math> such that <math>f^{-1}(k) \subset \cup_{\lambda \in \gamma_k} U_{\lambda}</math>.
The set <math>X \setminus \cup_{\lambda \in \gamma_k} U_{\lambda}</math> is closed. Its image is closed in Y, because f is a closed map. Hence the set
 
<math>V_k = Y \setminus f(X \setminus \cup_{\lambda \in \gamma_k} U_{\lambda})</math> is open in Y. It is easy to check that <math>V_k</math> contains the point <math>k</math>.
Now <math>K \subset \cup_{k \in K} V_k</math> and because K is assumed to be compact, there are finitely many points <math>k_1,\dots , k_s</math> such that <math>K \subset \cup_{i =1}^s V_{k_i}</math>. Furthermore the set <math>\Gamma = \cup_{i =1}^s \gamma_{k_i} </math> is a finite union of finite sets, thus <math>\Gamma</math> is finite.
 
Now it follows that <math>f^{-1}(K) \subset f^{-1}(\cup_{i=1}^s V_{k_i}) \subset \cup_{\lambda \in \Gamma} U_{\lambda}</math> and we have found a finite subcover of <math>f^{-1}(K)</math>, which completes the proof.
 
== Properties ==
 
*A topological space is compact if and only if the map from that space to a single point is proper.
*Every continuous map from a compact space to a [[Hausdorff space]] is both proper and [[closed map|closed]].
*If ''f'' : ''X'' → ''Y'' is a proper continuous map and ''Y'' is a [[compactly generated Hausdorff space]] (this includes Hausdorff spaces which are either [[first-countable]] or [[locally compact]]), then ''f'' is closed.<ref name=palais>{{cite journal|last=Palais|first=Richard S.|title=When proper maps are closed|journal=Proc.
