... Examples 1.13 Any set X can be given the discrete topology, in which every subset is open, or the indiscrete topology, in which the only open sets are X and ∅. Example 1.14 Given a subset A ⊂ X of a topological space X, the subspace topology on A is formed by taking V ⊂ A to be open if and only if V ...

... space X is obtained by adjoining a new point ∞ and defining the topology on X ∪ {∞} to consist of the open sets of X together with the sets of the form U ∪ {∞}, where U is an open subset of X with compact complement. With this topology, X ∪{∞} is always compact. Furthermore, it is Hausdorff if and o ...

The space X is said to be first countable if for every x ∈ X, X is first countable at x. Remark. Equivalently, one can take each Bn in the sequence to be open nei ...

... Exercise 1. Let X be topological space, Y be a set and f : X → Y be a surjective map. Recall that a subset U ⊆ Y is open in the quotient topology, if and only if f −1 (U ) is open in X. • Show that the quotient topology is in fact a topology. • Show that the quotient topology is the finest topology ...
