For an equivalence relation on a set, a binary operation, a self-map or a relation that respects the equivalence induces exactly one binary operation, self-map or relation on the quotient acting on classes through representatives.
In the setting of Class Theory NBG: the Axioms, Standing Conventions and Basic Notation, let be a set and an equivalence relation on ; write for , for the equivalence class of , and for the quotient, a set by Equivalence Classes Partition the Set: Cover, Disjointness and Representatives; the Quotient Is a Set and the Canonical Projection Is a Surjection §quotient-set.
Let be a binary operation on such that, for all , if and then . Then there is exactly one binary operation on with for all .
Let be a map such that, for all , if then . Then there is exactly one map with for all .
Let be a relation on such that, for all , if and then if and only if . Then there is exactly one relation on such that, for all , if and only if .
