The topology is called indiscrete nsctopology and the tripletx, tau, e is called an indiscrete neutrosophic soft cubic topological space or simply indiscrete nsc topological space. The prototype let x be any metric space and take to be the set of open sets as defined earlier. The best way to understand topological spaces is to take a look at a few examples. I would actually prefer to say every metric space induces a topological space on the same underlying set. Prove that a topological space x is disconnected if and only if there exists a continuous and surjective. Every sequence and net in this topology converges to every point of the space. Regard x as a topological space with the indiscrete topology. Clearly the discrete topology is finer than any topology, and anytopology is finer than the indiscrete topology.
This topology is called the indiscrete topology or the trivial topology. What are some examples of topological spaces which are not. In practice, its often clear which space xwere operating inside, and then its generally safe to speak of sets simply being open without mentioning which space theyre open in. Codisc s codiscs is the topological space on s s whose only open sets are the empty set and s s itself, this is called the codiscrete topology on s s also indiscrete topology or trivial topology or chaotic topology, it is the coarsest topology on s s. Note that every compact space is locally compact, since the whole space xsatis es the necessary condition. Contents the fundamental group university of chicago. Indiscrete definition of indiscrete by the free dictionary. Regularity is supposed to be a separation axiom that says you can do even better than separating points, and yet the indiscrete topology is regular despite being unable to separate anything from anything else. Then every sequence y converges to every point of y.
Also, any set can be given the trivial topology also called the indiscrete topology, in which only the empty set and the whole space are open. Roughly speaking, a connected topological space is one that is \in one piece. Topological spaces can be fine or coarse, connected or disconnected, have few or many dimensions. The only convergent sequences or nets in this topology are those that are eventually constant. I have heard this said by many people every metric space is a topological space. If we thought for a moment we had such a metric d, we can take r dx 1. When you combine a set and a topology for that set, you get a topological space. Thus, we have x2a x2ufor some open set ucontained in a some neighbourhood of xis contained in a. In particular, each singleton is an open set in the. In some conventions, empty spaces are considered indiscrete. By a neighbourhood of a point, we mean an open set containing that point. Any group given the discrete topology, or the indiscrete topology, is a topological group.
Paper 2, section i 4e metric and topological spaces. A topological space is discrete if and only if its singletons are open, which is the case if and only if it doesnt contain any accumulation points. Then is a topology called the trivial topology or indiscrete topology. This example shows that in general topological spaces, limits of sequences need. Introduction in chapter i we looked at properties of sets, and in chapter ii we added some additional structure to a set a distance function to create a pseudomet. If a space xhas the discrete topology, then xis hausdor. If a space xhas the indiscrete topology and it contains two or more elements, then xis not hausdor. On the other hand, we also have an indiscrete topology, where only the whole set and the empty set are open. The most basic topology for a set x is the indiscrete or trivial topology, t.
Math 590 final exam practice questionsselected solutions february 2019 viiiif xis a space where limits of sequences are unique, then xis hausdor. Connectedness is the sort of topological property that students love. General topologydiscrete and indiscrete topology with examples. For example, on any set the indiscrete topology is coarser and the discrete topology is. Chapter 5 compactness compactness is the generalization to topological spaces of the property of closed and bounded subsets of the real line. The previous exercise hints at a deeper fact about the discrete and indiscrete.
Indiscrete topology the collection of the non empty set and the set x itself is always a topology on x, and is called the indiscrete topology on x. Regularity and the t 3 axiom this last example is just awful. However, locally compact does not imply compact, because the real line is locally compact, but not compact. The singletons form a basis for the discrete topology.
The space is either an empty space or its kolmogorov quotient is a onepoint space. Such spaces are commonly called indiscrete, antidiscrete, or codiscrete. X with the indiscrete topology is called an indiscrete topological space or simply an indiscrete space. For example, the various norms in rn, and the various metrics, generalize from the euclidean norm and euclidean distance. A topological space is a set xwhose members are called points together with. One can actually prove more about the discrete and indiscrete topologies. A topological group gis a group which is also a topological space such that the multiplication map g. The empty set and x itself belong to any arbitrary finite or infinite union of members of.
A set with two elements, however, is more interestin. All the points are now clumped together, since there are no open sets with which to separate the points. If x is a topological space and x 2 x, show that there is a connected subspace k x of x so that if s is any other connected subspace containing x then s k x. Indiscrete topology article about indiscrete topology by.
For any set, there is a unique topology on it making it an indiscrete space. Both of the countability axioms involve countable versus uncountable bases of topologies. A topological space xis simplyconnected if it is pathconnected and has a trivial fundamental group. Any set can be given the discrete topology in which every subset is open. A set with a single element math\\bullet\math only has one topology, the discrete one which in this case is also the indiscrete one so thats not helpful. The fundamental groups of discrete and indiscrete topological.
If xhas at least two points x 1 6 x 2, there can be no metric on xthat gives rise to this topology. We then looked at some of the most basic definitions and properties of pseudometric spaces. The properties of the topological space depend on the number of subsets and the ways in which these sets overlap. For this purpose, we introduce a natural topology on milnors kgroups k. The discrete and indiscrete topologies fold unfold. A topological space xis semilocally simplyconnected if for every. The discrete topology is the finest topology that can be given on a set, i. Bcopen subsets of a topological space is denoted by. What is the difference between topological and metric spaces. Jan 21, 2018 topological space matric space open subset close subset discrete and indiscrete topology cofinite m. Jul 11, 2017 today i will be giving a tutorial on the discrete and indiscrete topology, this tutorial is for mat404general topology, now in my last discussion on topology, i talked about the topology in general and also gave some examples, in case you missed the tutorial click here to be redirect back. The notion of a topological space 3 and also the trivial topology. The most popular way to define a topological space is in terms of open sets, analogous to those of euclidean space. The topological dimension of a discrete space is equal to 0.
Because of the proceeding theorem, if a space is pathconnected, we often write. Similarly, if xdisc is the set x equipped with the discrete topology, then the identity map 1 x. In topology, a topological space with the trivial topology is one where the only open sets are the empty set and the entire space. Also, note that locally compact is a topological property. Let x be the set of points in the plane shown in fig. It is important to note that open sets are basic and determine the topology. T is hausdor if any two distinct points of xhave neighbourhoods which do not intersect. The fundamental groups of discrete and indiscrete topological spaces. A subset uof a metric space xis closed if the complement xnuis open.
Co nite topology we declare that a subset u of r is open i either u. Topological space matric space open close subset discrete. Ais a family of sets in cindexed by some index set a,then a o c. B asic t opology t opology, sometimes referred to as othe mathematics of continuityo, or orubber sheet geometryo, or othe theory of abstract topo logical spaceso, is all of these, but, abo ve all, it is a langua ge, used by mathematicians in practically all branches of our science.
