Applied Topology, Fall 2016 1 Topological Spaces
... a continuous bijection between them whose inverse is also continuous; this comes down to being able to construct continuous functions. On the other hand, to show that X and Y are not homeomorphic, we have to prove that there does not exist any homeomorphism between them. This can be difficult or eve ...

For example in R1 with the normal Euclidian metric an open ball will look just like the above figure. But if we use the discrete metric then if the radius ...

... both open and closed (as we already saw for ∅ and X, and also in #1 on the first problem set); it can also fail to be either open or closed (as with a “half-open interval” [a, b) ⊂ R, or more dramatically Q ⊂ R). You may notice that Rudin defines closed sets differently (2.18d, p.32), but then prove ...

Dualities in Mathematics: Locally compact abelian groups
... The proof requires a lot of analysis but, I hope it is clear that the ingredients that we used in the finite case generalize nicely to the locally compact abelian case. In particular, Fourier theory generalizes to arbitrary locally compact abelian groups. ...

(ω)topological connectedness and hyperconnectedness
... A set X equipped with an increasing sequence {Jn } of topologies is called an (ω)topological space [2]. It is denoted by (X, {Jn }) or, simply, by X if there is no scope for confusion. Separation axioms, compactness and paracompactness of (ω)topological spaces were studied in [2]. In [3], we proved ...

... for all α ∈ A. Conversely, fn (α) → f (α) for all α ∈ A iff πα (fn ) → πα (f ) for all α ∈ A. Therefore if V = πα−1 (Vα ) ∈ E and f ∈ V, then πα (f ) ∈ Vα and πα (fn ) ∈ Vα a.a. and hence fn ∈ V a.a.. This shows that fn → f as n → ∞. Proposition 15.12.

... to ∂∆. However, f does not necessarily map all the edges and simplices of L into ∂∆. What we can say is that, since all the vertices of L do map into ∂∆, and the diameter of the image of each triangle, f (T ), is less than 1/8, that the image of L under f is a subset of ∂∆ along with three equilater ...

In order for a space X to be contained (or embedded) in a compact space it is necessary and sufficient that for each pair consisting of a closed set F⊆X and x∈X\F there is a continuous f:X → [0,1] such that f(x)=0 and f(F)=1. 4.2. DEFINITION. Suppose a space X is contained (embedded) i ...
