... Definition Let X be a space. A collection A = {Ui }i∈I of open subsets of X such that X = ∪i Ui is called an open cover of X. A subcollection B ⊂ A is called a subcover if the union of the sets in B is also X. A subcover is finite if it contains finitely many open sets. Example The space [0, 1] has ...

... clear that x ∈ V (x) ∩ {x}, which is the intersection of an open an a closed set. If we see that there is no other point in it, we have that the point is locally closed. Let y ∈ V (x) ∩ {x}, y 6= x. Since y ∈ V (x), every neighborhood of x contains y; since y ∈ {x}, every neighborhood of y contains ...

B may be given the relative topology or the quotient topology induced by the function p|f −1 (B) : f −1 (B) → B. Show these topologies are the same. b) If A ⊆ X is a closed or an ope ...
