metric spaces]]. The analogous statement fails for more general [[topological spaces]]: for them, being [[sequentially compact topological space|sequentially compact]] in general neither implies nor is implied by being [[compact topological space|compact]] (see the counter-examples \href{sequentially+compact+topological+space#Examples}{here}). But the failure of this equivalence is not due to a deficit in the concept of [[convergence]] but in the concept of [[sequences]] and sub-sequences. If the latter are generalized to [[nets]] and [[sub-nets]] (beware that the definition of sub-nets is slightly non-obvious), then the analogue of the statement remains true in generality: A topological space is [[compact topological space|compact]] precisely if every [[net]] in it has a [[sub-net]] that [[convergence]]. \hypertarget{statement}{}\subsection*{{Statement}}\label{statement} \begin{prop} \label{CompactSpacesEquivalentlyHaveConvergetSubnets}\hypertarget{CompactSpacesEquivalentlyHaveConvergetSubnets}{} \textbf{(compact spaces are equivalently those for which every net has a converging subnet)} Assuming [[excluded middle]] and the [[axiom of choice]], then: A [[topological space]] $(X,\tau)$ is [[compact topological space|compact]] precisely if every [[net]] in $X$ has a [[sub-net]] that [[convergence|converges]]. \end{prop} We break this up into lemmas \ref{InACompactSpaceEveryNetHasAConvergentSubnet} and \ref{IfEveryNetHasConvergentSubnetThenSpaceIsCompact}: \begin{example} \label{InACompactSpaceEveryNetHasAConvergentSubnet}\hypertarget{InACompactSpaceEveryNetHasAConvergentSubnet}{} \textbf{(in a compact space, every net has a convergent subnet)} Let $(X,\tau)$ be a [[compact topological space]]. Then every net in $X$ has a convergent subnet. \end{example} \begin{proof} Let $\nu \colon A \to X$ be a net. We need to show that there is a subnet which converges. For $a \in A$ consider the [[topological closures]] $Cl(S_a)$ of the sets $S_a$ of elements of the net beyond some fixed index: \begin{displaymath} S_a \;\coloneqq\; \left\{ \nu_b \in X \;\vert\; b \geq a \right\} \subset X \,. \end{displaymath} Observe that the set $\{S_a \subset X\}_{a \in A}$ and hence also the set $\{Cl(S_a) \subset X\}_{a \in A}$ has the [[finite intersection property]], by the fact that $A$ is a [[directed set]]. Therefore \href{finite+intersection+property#CompactnessInTermsOfFiniteIntersectionProperty}{this prop.} implies from the assumption of $X$ being compact that the intersection of \emph{all} the $Cl(S_a)$ is non-empty, hence that there is an element \begin{displaymath} x \in \underset{a \in A}{\cap} Cl(S_a) \,. \end{displaymath} In particular every [[neighbourhood]] $U_x$ of $x$ intersects each of the $Cl(S_a)$, and hence also each of the $S_a$. By definition of the $S_a$, this means that for every $a \in A$ there exists $b \geq a$ such that $\nu_b \in U_x$, hence that $x$ is a [[cluster point]] of the net. We will not produce a [[sub-net]] \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ B && \overset{f}{\longrightarrow} && A \\ & \searrow && \swarrow_{\nu} \\ && X } \end{displaymath} that converges to this cluster point. To this end, we first need to build the domain directed set $B$. Take it to be the sub-directed set of the Cartesian product directed set of $A$ with the directed neighbourhood set $Nbhd_X(x)$ of $x$ \begin{displaymath} B \subset A_{\leq} \times Nbhd_X(x)_{\supset} \end{displaymath} on those pairs such that the element of the net indexed by the first component is is contained in the second component: \begin{displaymath} B \;\coloneqq\; \left\{ (a,U_x) \,\vert \, \nu_a \in U_X \right\} \,. \end{displaymath} It is clear $B$ is a [[preordered set]]. We need to check that it is indeed directed, in that every pair of elements $(a_1, U_1)$, $(a_2, U_2)$ has a common upper bound $(a_{bd}, U_{bd})$. Now since $A$ itself is directed, there is an upper bound $a_3 \geq a_1, a_2$, and since $x$ is a cluster point of the net there is moreover an $a_{bd} \geq a_3 \geq a_1, a_3$ such that $\nu_{a_{bd}} \in U_1 \cap U_2$. Hence with $U_{bd} \coloneqq U_1 \cap U_2$ we have obtained the required pair. Next take the function $f$ to be given by \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ B &\overset{f}{\longrightarrow}& A \\ (a, U) &\overset{\phantom{AAA}}{\mapsto}& a } \,. \end{displaymath} This is clearly order preserving, and it is cofinal since it is even a surjection. Hence we have defined a subnet $\nu \circ f$. It now remains to see that $\nu \circ f$ converges to $x$, hence that for every open neighbourhood $U_x$ of $x$ we may find $(a,U)$ such that for all $(b,V)$ with $a \leq b$ and $U \supset V$ then $\nu(f(b,V)) = \nu(b) \in U_x$. Now by the nature of $x$ there exists some $a$ with $\nu_a \in U_x$, and hence if we take $U \coloneqq U_x$ then nature of $B$ implies that with $(b, V) \geq (a,U_x)$ then $b \in V \subset U_x$. \end{proof} \begin{example} \label{IfEveryNetHasConvergentSubnetThenSpaceIsCompact}\hypertarget{IfEveryNetHasConvergentSubnetThenSpaceIsCompact}{} Assuming [[excluded middle]], then: Let $(X,\tau)$ be a [[topological space]]. If every [[net]] in $X$ has a [[subnet]] that [[convergence|converges]], then $(X,\tau)$ is a [[compact topological space]]. \end{example} \begin{proof} By [[excluded middle]] we may equivalently prove the [[contrapositive]]: If $(X,\tau)$ is not compact, then not every net in $X$ has a convergent subnet. Hence assume that $(X,\tau)$ is not compact. We need to produce a net without a convergent subnet. Again by [[excluded middle]], then by \href{finite+intersection+property#CompactnessInTermsOfFiniteIntersectionProperty}{this prop.} $(X,\tau)$ not being compact means equivalently that there exists a set $\{C_i \subset X\}_{i \in I}$ of [[closed subsets]] satisfying the [[finite intersection property]], but such that their intersection is empty: $\underset{i \in I}{\cap} C_i = \emptyset$. Consider then $P_{fin}(I)$, the set of [[finite set|finite]] [[subsets]] of $I$. By the assumption that $\{C_i \subset X\}_{i \in I}$ satisfies the [[finite intersection property]], we may [[axiom of choice|choose]] for each $J \in P_{fin}(I)$ an element \begin{displaymath} x_J \in \underset{i \in J \subset I}{\cap} C_i \,. \end{displaymath} Now $P_{fin}(X)$ regarded as a [[preordered set]] under inclusion of subsets is clearly a [[directed set]], with an upper bound of two finite subsets given by their [[union]]. Therefore we have defined a net \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ P_{fin}(X)_{\subset} &\overset{\nu}{\longrightarrow}& X \\ J &\overset{\phantom{AAA}}{\mapsto}& x_J } \,. \end{displaymath} We will show that this net has no converging subnet. Assume on the contrary that there were a subnet \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ B && \overset{f}{\longrightarrow} && P_{fin}(X) \\ & \searrow && \swarrow_{\nu} \\ && X } \end{displaymath} which converges to some $x \in X$. By the assumption that $\underset{i \in I}{\cap} C_i = \emptyset$, there would exist an $i_x \in I$ such that $x \neq C_{i_x}$, and because $C_i$ is a [[closed subset]], there would exist even an [[open neighbourhood]] $U_x$ of $x$ such that $U_x \cap C_{i_x} = \emptyset$. This would imply that $x_J \neq U_x$ for all $J \supset \{i_x\}$. Now since the function $f$ defining the subset is cofinal, there would exist $b_1 \in B$ such that $\{i_x\} \subset f(b_1)$. Moreover, by the assumption that the subnet converges, there would also be $b_2 \in B$ such that $\nu_{b_2 \leq \bullet} \in U_x$. Since $B$ is directed, there would then be an upper bound $b \geq b_1, b_2$ of these two elements. This hence satisfies both $\nu_{f(e)} \in U_x$ as well as $\{i_x\} \subset f(b_1) \subset f(b)$. But the latter of these two means that $\nu_{f(b)}$ is not in $U_x$, which is a contradiction to the former. Thus we have a [[proof by contradiction]]. \end{proof} \hypertarget{related_concepts}{}\subsection*{{Related concepts}}\label{related_concepts} \begin{itemize}% \item [[sequentially compact metric spaces are equivalently compact metric spaces]] \item [[countably compact metric spaces are equivalently compact metric spaces]] \item [[sequentially compact metric spaces are totally bounded]] \item [[Lebesgue number lemma]] \end{itemize} \end{document}
