Topology DMTH503 Edited by: Dr.Sachin Kaushal TOPOLOGY Edited by Dr. Sachin Kaushal Printed by EXCEL BOOKS PRIVATE LIMITED A-45, Naraina, Phase-I, New Delhi-110028 for Lovely Professional University Phagwara SYLLABUS Topology Objectives: For some time now, topology has been firmly established as one of basic disciplines of pure mathematics. It's ideas and methods have transformed large parts of geometry and analysis almost beyond recognition. In this course we will study not only introduce to new concept and the theorem but also put into old ones like continuous functions. Its influence is evident in almost every other branch of mathematics.In this course we study an axiomatic development of point set topology, connectivity, compactness, separability, metrizability and function spaces.

Introduction Topology is that branch of mathematics which deals with the study of those properties of certain objects that remain invariant under certain kind of transformations as bending or stretching. In simple words, topology is the study of continuity and connectivity. Topology, like other branches of pure mathematics, is an axiomatic subject. In this, we use a set of axioms to prove propositions and theorems. This unit starts with the definition of a topology and moves on to the topics like stronger and weaker topologies, discrete and indiscrete topologies, cofinite topology, intersection and union of topologies, open set and closed set, neighborhood, dense set, etc. 1.1 Topology and Different Kinds of Topologies 1.1.1 Topology Definition 1: Let X be a non-empty set. A collection T of subsets of X is said to be a topology on X if (i) X T, T (ii) the intersection of any two sets in T belongs to T i.e. A T, B T A B T (iii) the union of any (finite or infinite) no. of sets in T belongs to T. i.e. A T UA T where is an arbitrary set. The pair (X, T) is called a Topological space. Example 1: Let X = {p, q, r, s, t, u} and T1 = {X, , {p}, {r, s}, {p, r, s}, {q, r, s, t, u}} Then T1 is a topology on X as it satisfies conditions (i), (ii) and (iii) of definition 1. Example 2: Let X = {a, b, c, d, e} and T2 = {X, , {a}, {c, d}, {a, c, e}, {b, c, d}} Then T2 is not a topology on X as the union of two members of T2 does not belong to T2. {c, d} {a, c, e} = {a, c, d, e} So, T2 does not satisfy condition (iii) of definition 1. 2 LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY Unit 1: Topological Spaces 1.1.2 Different Kinds of Topologies Notes Stronger and Weaker Topologies Let X be a set and let T1 and T2 be two topologies defined on X. If T1 T2, then T1 is called smaller or weaker topology than T2. If T1 T2, then we also say that T2 is longer or stronger topology than T1. Comparable and Non-comparable Topologies Definitions: The topologies T1 and T2 are said to be comparable if T1 T2 or T2 T1. The topologies T1 and T2 are said to be non-comparable if T1 T2 and T2 T1. Example 3: If X = {s, t} then T1 = {, {s, X}} and T2 = {, {t}, X} are non-comparable as T1 T2 and T2 T1. Discrete and Indiscrete Topology Let X be any non-empty set and T be the collection of all subsets of X. Then T is called the discrete topology on the set X. The topological space (X, T) is called a discrete space. It may be noted that T in above definition satisfy the conditions of definition 1 and so is a topology. Let X be any non-empty set and T = {X, }. Then T is called the indiscrete topology and (X, T) is said to be an indiscrete space. Again, it may be checked that T satisfies the conditions of definition 1 and so is also a topology. Example 4: If X = {a, b, c} and T is a topology on X with {a} T, {b} T, {c} T, prove that T is the discrete topology. Solution: The subsets of X are: X1 = , X2 = {a}, X3 = {b}, X4 = {c}, X5 = {a, b}, X6 = {a, c}, X7 = {b, c}, X8 = {a, b, c} = X In order to prove that T is the discrete topology, we need to prove that each of these subsets belongs to T. As T is a topology, so X and belongs to T. i.e. X1 T, X8 T. Clearly, X2 T, X3 T, X4 T Now X5 = {a, b} = {a} {b} since {a} T, {b} T (Given) and T is a topology and so by definition 1, their union is also in T i.e. X 5 = {a, b} T similarly, X6 = {a, c} = {a} {c} T and X7 = {b, c} = {b} {c} T Hence, T is the discrete topology. LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY 3 Topology Notes Cofinite Topology Let X be a non-empty set, and let T be a collection of subsets of X whose complements are finite along with , forms a topology on X and is called cofinite topology.
