... Solution: A set is open if it is either empty or it its complement is finite. (ii) Prove that the finite complement topology is, in fact, a topology. [4 marks] Solution: Given a set X, the finite complement topology is τ = {U ⊂ X : X \ U if finite, or U = ∅}. By definition, ∅ ∈ τ , and X ∈ τ because ...

Some Notes on Compact Lie Groups
... have x · y = y · x and |x|2 = xx = xx = 4i=1 (xi )2 . In particular, a non-zero element x has the inverse x/|x|2 . Thus H is a field. It has R = {x1 } and C = {x1 + ix2 } as subfields. Note that Hn can be regarded as a complex vector space, where the scalar multiplication is the multiplication from ...
