topology (point-set topology, point-free topology)
see also differential topology, algebraic topology, functional analysis and topological homotopy theory
Basic concepts
fiber space, space attachment
Extra stuff, structure, properties
Kolmogorov space, Hausdorff space, regular space, normal space
sequentially compact, countably compact, locally compact, sigma-compact, paracompact, countably paracompact, strongly compact
Examples
Basic statements
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings
locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact
Theorems
Analysis Theorems
A topological space is called hemicompact iff there exists a sequence of compact subsets such that and holds.
If is hemicompact and a sequence as in the definition, then every compact subset is contained in one of the . In other words: is cofinal in the set of all compact subsets (partially ordered by inclusion)
Locally compact (every point has a compact neighborhood) and -compact spaces are hemicompact (and also paracompact).
A first-countable and hemicompact space is locally compact (every point has a compact neighborhood).
Here the condition to be first-countable can’t be dropped as there are hemicompact spaces, which are not locally compact. An example is the Arens-Fort space as seen in Joshi 83, Chapter 4, Section 2, Example 10, which is not even compact.
A hemicompact space is -compact.
The field of rational numbers is -compact, but not hemicompact.
