University of Bergen General Functional Analysis Problems 5 1) Let B be a base for the topological space (X, τ ). Then x ∈ E if and only if for every B ∈ B with x ∈ B, there is a y ∈ B ∩ E. 2) Let X satisfy the first axiom of countability (there is a countable base at each point). Then x ∈ E if and only if there is a sequence from E that converges to x. 3) Let X satisfy the first axiom of countability. Then x is a cluster point of a sequence {xn } from X if and only if {xn } has a subsequence that coverges to x. Is it true for an arbitrary topological space? 4) Show that f is continuous if and only if it is continouos at each point of a topological space X. 5) Let Bx be a base at x and Cy be a base at y = f (x). Then f is continuous at x if and only if for each C ∈ Cy there is a B ∈ Bx such that B ⊂ f −1 (C). 6) Prove that if X is a topological space satisfying the second axiom of countability, then any open cover of X contains a finite or countable subcover of X. 7) Prove that a topological space X satisfies the axiom T1 if and only if every set consisting of a single point is closed. 8) Prove the Urysohn Metrization Theorem Every normal topological space satisfying the second axiom of countability is metrizable. Use the following. Let {Un } be a countable base for the topology. Let (Uni , Umi ) be an enumeration of all pairs of elements in this base such that U n1 ⊂ Umi . For each i let fi be a continuous function satisfying 0 ≤ fi ≤ 1 and such that fi is 0 on U n1 and 1 on the complement of Umi . Let d(x, y) = ∞ X 1 |fi (x) − fi (y)|. 2i i=1 Show that d is a metric and that the identity mapping is continuous with respect to the given topology on X and the topology obtained from the metric. Use the fact that given x ∈ X and some open set Um in the base containing x, there exists another set Un in the base such that x ∈ Un ∈ U n ⊂ Um . 9) Let A be a connected subset of a topological space, and suppose that A ⊂ B ⊂ A. Then B is connected. 10) A space X is said to be arcwise connected if given to points x and y in X there is a continuous map f : [0, 1] → X such that f (0) = x and f (1) = y. 1. Show that an arcwise connected space is connected. 2. In the plane R2 consider the subspace 1 X = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x = 0, y ∈ [−1, 1]} ∪ {(x, y) ∈ R2 : y = sin , x ∈ (0, 1]}. x Show that X is connected but not arcwise connected. 3. Show that each connected open set G ∈ Rn is arcwise connected. Use the following argument. Let c ∈ G and let H be the set of points G that can be connected to x by a polygonal arc. Then H is open and closed in G. 1
