These notes describe three topologies that can be placed on the set of all functions from a set x to a space y. The prototype let x be any metric space and take to be the set of open sets as defined earlier. Namely, we will discuss metric spaces, open sets, and closed sets. Topological spaces dmlcz czech digital mathematics library. Let x1 denote the topological space r with discrete topology and let x2 be r with usual topology. Many useful spaces are banach spaces, and indeed, we saw many examples of those. Suppose h is a subset of x such that f h is closed where h denotes the closure of h. We will now look at some more problems regarding hausdorff topological spaces. It is assumed that measure theory and metric spaces are already known to the reader.
Regard x as a topological space with the indiscrete topology. The quotient topology is one of the most ubiquitous constructions in algebraic, combinatorial, and di erential topology. Paper 1, section ii 12e metric and topological spaces. Topological spaces in this section, we introduce the concept of g closed sets in topological spaces and study some of its properties. A discrete topological space is a set with the topological structure con sisting of all subsets.
Function spaces a function space is a topological space whose points are functions. On few occasions, i have also shown that if we want to extend the result from metric spaces to topological spaces, what kind. In each of the following cases, the given set bis a basis for the given topology. In the notion of a topological vector space, there is a very nice interplay between the algebraic structure of a vector space and a topology on the space, basically so that the vector space operations are continuous mappings. In this paper a systematic study of the category gts of generalized topological spaces in the sense of h. Connectedness 1 motivation connectedness is the sort of topological property that students love. The discrete topology on x is the topology in which all sets are open. Coordinate system, chart, parameterization let mbe a topological space and u man open set. The most basic example is the space r with the order topology. Roughly speaking, a connected topological space is one that is \in one piece. Introduction when we consider properties of a reasonable function, probably the. Suppose that is a closure space and v is the quasidiscrete.
Then the set of all open sets defined in definition 1. For any set x, we have a boolean algebra px of subsets of x, so this algebra of sets may be treated as a small category with inclusions as morphisms. The real line rwith the nite complement topology is compact. Possibly a better title might be a second introduction to metric and topological spaces. It is also among the most di cult concepts in pointset topology to master. Examples of topological spaces this is a list of examples. The notations rn, cn have usual meaning through out the course. Any set can be given the discrete topology in which every subset is open. What is the difference between a topological and a metric space.
Several concepts are introduced, first in metric spaces and then repeated for topological spaces, to help convey familiarity. The only convergent sequences or nets in this topology are those that are eventually constant. Topological space definition and meaning collins english. We will allow shapes to be changed, but without tearing them. Introduction the purpose of this document is to give an introduction to the quotient topology. For example, cw complexes have proved over time to be the most natural class of spaces for algebraic topology, so they are emphasized here much more than in the books of an earlier generation. Examples of topological spaces universiteit leiden. Connectedness is one of the principal topological properties that are used to distinguish topological spaces a subset of a topological space x is a connected set if it is a connected space when viewed as a subspace of x. Hausdorff topological spaces examples 3 mathonline.
For example, it is closely related to various notions of tangent spaces of the range of the map. What is the difference between topological and metric spaces. In most of topology, the spaces considered are hausdor for example, metric spaces are hausdor intuition gained from thinking about such spaces is rather misleading when one thinks about. These are the notes prepared for the course mth 304 to be o ered to undergraduate students at iit kanpur. In topology and related branches of mathematics, a connected space is a topological space that cannot be represented as the union of two or more disjoint nonempty open subsets. The discrete topology on a set x is defined as the topology which consists of all possible subsets of x. This emphasis also illustrates the books general slant towards geometric, rather than algebraic. If a set is given a different topology, it is viewed as a different topological space. First and foremost, i want to persuade you that there are good reasons to study topology. Then is a topology called the trivial topology or indiscrete topology. Hausdorff topological spaces examples 1 fold unfold.
Can someone help me find more interesting examples. Hausdorff topological spaces examples 1 mathonline. The examples in this section are all spaces of functions with various different topologies. Metricandtopologicalspaces university of cambridge. A topology on a set x is a collection tof subsets of x such that t1. The language of metric and topological spaces is established with continuity as the motivating concept. Introduction to metric and topological spaces oxford. Any space consisting of a nite number of points is compact. For example discrete, accrete and finite spaces are quasidiscrete. Apart from closed and bounded subsets of euclidean space, typical examples of compact spaces are encountered in mathematical analysis, where the property of compactness of some topological spaces arises in the hypotheses or in the conclusions of many fundamental theorems, such as the bolzanoweierstrass theorem, the extreme value theorem, the. I will cover the topology of the real line and the definition of continuous. Introduction to topology martina rovelli these notes are an outline of the topics covered in class, and are not substitutive of the lectures, where most proofs are provided and examples are discussed in more detail. Introduction to topology answers to the test questions stefan kohl question 1.
Despite sutherlands use of introduction in the title, i suggest that any reader considering independent study might defer tackling introduction to metric and topological spaces until after completing a more basic text. These examples have been automatically selected and may contain sensitive content. Abstract while modern mathematics use many types of spaces, such as euclidean spaces, linear spaces, topological spaces, hilbert spaces, or probability spaces, it does not define the notion of space itself. To understand this concept, it is helpful to consider a few examples of what does and does not constitute a distance function for a metric space. We refer to this collection of open sets as the topology generated by the distance function don x. In this paper a class of sets called g closed sets and g open sets and a class of maps in topological spaces is introduced and some of its properties are discussed.
Thus the axioms are the abstraction of the properties that open sets have. The property we want to maintain in a topological space is that of nearness. Topology underlies all of analysis, and especially certain large spaces such. Knebusch and their strictly continuous mappings begins. The properties verified earlier show that is a topology. Chapter 5 compactness compactness is the generalization to topological spaces of the property of closed and bounded subsets of the real line.
