Is the restriction of a projection to a compact subset a quotient map?

Let $(X, \mathcal{T}_X)$ and $(Y, \mathcal{T}_Y)$ be topological spaces, $Z = X \times Y$, $\mathcal{T}_Z$ be the product topology on $Z$, $f : Z \to X$ be defined by $f(x, y) = x$, and $C \subset Z$ ...

Compactness of symmetric power of a compact space

Suppose I have a compact metric space $(X,d)$ and let $\mathcal{X}=X^K$ be the product space. Consider the equivalence relation $\sim$ on $\mathcal{X}$ given as: for $\alpha,\beta\in \mathcal{X}$, $\...
