G W Simmons, Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis, McGraw Hill. Metric and Topological Spaces. However, this definition of open in metric spaces is the same as that as if we regard our metric space as a topological space. This abstract setting sheds new light upon basic questions: What is continuity? Suppose ( X;d ) is a metric space and U is an open set in X . First part of this course note presents a rapid overview of metric spaces to set the scene for the main topic of topological spaces.Further it covers metric spaces, Continuity and open sets for metric spaces, Closed sets for metric spaces, Topological spaces, Interior and closure, More on topological structures, Hausdorff spaces and Compactness. Let x;y 2 X and > 0 such that the open ball B (y) U and x 2 B = 2 (y). Prove that y 2 B = 2 (x ) U . Lebesgue number lemma. quotient projections out of compact Hausdorff spaces are closed precisely if the codomain is Hausdorff. Theorem 9.6 (Metric space is a topological space) Let (X,d)be a metric space. Topological theory of metric spaces. W A Sutherland, Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces, OUP. Further the answer will always be "yes" for topological spaces that are induced by means of a metric. Appendix A.

Its subject is the properties of metric spaces which are preserved under homeomorphisms (cf.

compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net. Properties: The empty-set is an open set (by definition: (∅) = … 12E Metric and Topological Spaces Give the de nition of a metric on a set X and explain how this de nes a topology on X . W Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis, McGraw Hill. Publisher: University of Cambridge 2014 Number of pages: 109. In short and with an abuse of language: "a metric space is metrizable". E T Copson, Metric Spaces, CUP. In metric spaces a distance is defined between each pair of points. met metric spaces in analysis) or at the end of their second year (after they have met metric spaces). 4. 1. A metric space is not a topological space and a metrizable space is a topological space, so the labeling is formally not correct. In topological spaces, distances are replaced by only a certain notion of nearness. Properties of this type are called topological. Introduction to metric spaces Introduction to topological spaces Subspaces, quotients and products Compactness Connectedness Complete metric spaces Books: Of the following, the books by Mendelson and Sutherland are the most appropriate: Sutherland's book is highly recommended. Description: Contents: Preface; What is a metric? 2. When we encounter topological spaces, we will generalize this definition of open.

W. Körner. Because of this, the first third of the course presents a rapid overview of metric spaces (either as revision or a first glimpse) to set the scene for the main topic of topological spaces. Metric Spaces, Topological Spaces, and Compactness 253 Given Sˆ X;p2 X, we say pis an accumulation point of Sif and only if, for each ">0, there exists q2 S\ B"(p); q6= p.It follows that pis an 3. Homeomorphism). Among these are compactness, separability, connectedness, the Baire property, and zero dimensionality. open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact. The family Cof subsets of (X,d)defined in Definition 9.10 above satisfies the following four properties, and hence (X,C)is a topological space. sequentially compact metric spaces are equivalently compact metric spaces
