Topology, MM8002/SF2721, Spring 2017. Exercise set 3 Exercise 1. Consider the real numbers R with its standart topology. Show that the function ( 0 if x ≤ 0 f : R → R, x 7→ 1 if x > 0 is not continuous. Can you think of a (non discrete) topology on the domain, such that f is continuous? Exercise 2. Show: • Every subspace of a Hausdorff space is Hausdorff. • Every subspace of a first countable space is first countable. • Every subspace of a second countable space is second countable. Exercise 3. Let X be a topological space and let S be a subspace of X. Show that the inclusion map S ,→ X is a topological embedding. Exercise 4. Show that a surjective topological embedding is a homeomorphism. Give an example of a topological embedding that is neither an open map nor a closed map. Exercise 5. Let B, B 0 be bases for the topologies of X and Y. Show that the set {B × B 0 | where B ∈ B, B 0 ∈ B 0 } is a basis for the product topology on X × Y. Exercise 6. • Show that the inclusion map iy : X → X × Y, x 7→ (x, y) is a topological embedding for any y ∈ Y. • Show that the canonical projection πX : X × Y → X, (x.y) 7→ x is an open map. • Show that if X and Y are Hausdorff, so is X × Y . • Show that if X and Y are first countable, so is X × Y . • Show that if X and Y are second countable, so is X × Y . Which of these statements hold for all finite products? Which for arbitrary products? Exercise 7. Consider an arbitrary product of topological spaces Πα∈A Xα . Show that the two bases: • {Πα∈A Uα | Uα is open in Xα } • {Πα∈A Uα | Uα is open in Xα and Uα 6= Xα only for finitely many α} induce non homeomorphic topologies. Note that the second one is a basis for the product topology. Exercise 8. Let X be a discrete topological space. Show F that for any space Y the product X × Y is homeomorphic to the disjoint union x∈X Y. Exercise 9. Consider the set R2 . Let (a1 , b1 ), (a2 , b2 ) ∈ R2 , such that b1 ≤ b2 . Consider the set B 0 given by the sets • (a1 , a2 ) × {b1 } for b1 = b2 and a1 < a2 • (a1 , ∞) × {b1 } ∪ R × (b1 , b2 ) ∪ (−∞, a2 ) × {b2 } for b1 < b2 . • Show that B 0 is a base for a topology on R2 . (It is called the lexicographic order topology.) • Show that R2 with the topology given by B 0 is homeomorphic to Rd × R, where Rd denotes the set R with the discrete topology. • Show that these spaces are not separable. Are they first countable? 1
