Kelley's 1955 text, General Topology, which eventually appeared in three editions and several translations, is a classic and widely cited graduate-level introduction to topology. An appendix sets out a new approach to axiomatic set theory, now called Morse–Kelley set theory, that builds on Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory.
The product topology on X is the topology generated by sets of the form p i −1 (U), where i is in I and U is an open subset of X i. In other words, the sets {p i −1 (U)} form a subbase for the topology on X. A subset of X is open if and only if it is a (possibly infinite) union of intersections of finitely many sets of the form p i −1 (U).
In mathematics, general topology or point set topology is that branch of topology which studies properties of general topological spaces (which may not have further structure; for example, they may not be manifolds), and structures defined on them.
In general topology, a polytopological space consists of a set together with a family {} of topologies on that is linearly ordered by the inclusion relation where is an arbitrary index set. It is usually assumed that the topologies are in non-decreasing order.
The Stone–Čech compactification of the topological space X is a compact Hausdorff space βX together with a continuous map i X : X → βX that has the following universal property: any continuous map f : X → K, where K is a compact Hausdorff space, extends uniquely to a continuous map βf : βX → K, i.e. (βf)i X = f.
In fact, his theorem is much more general, giving an upper bound on the cardinality of any Hausdorff space in terms of two cardinal functions. Specifically, he showed that for any Hausdorff space X, | | () where χ(X) is the character, and L(X) is the Lindelöf number. Chris Good referred to Arhangelskii's theorem as an "impressive result", and ...
In mathematics, particularly topology, a G δ space is a topological space in which closed sets are in a way ‘separated’ from their complements using only countably many open sets. A G δ space may thus be regarded as a space satisfying a different kind of separation axiom .
Suppose that X is a regular space. Then, given any point x and neighbourhood G of x, there is a closed neighbourhood E of x that is a subset of G. In fancier terms, the closed neighbourhoods of x form a local base at x. In fact, this property characterises regular spaces; if the closed neighbourhoods of each point in a topological space form a ...
