Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences, Pilani MATH F 311 Introduction To Topology Problem Set-1 (Examples of Topology)

This document contains 10 questions from a problem set on topology. The questions ask students to: 1) Prove that certain collections of sets define topologies on the real numbers and discuss their relationships. 2) Show that particular collections of sets define topologies on various sets by satisfying the conditions to be a basis for a topology. 3) Prove several lemmas related to topological spaces and basis definitions.

MATH F 311 Introduction to Topology


Problem Set-1(Examples of Topology)

Q.1 Prove rigorously that the standard/usual topology, lower limit topology, K-topology defined in text
book on the set of real numbers ℝ are topologies on ℝ. Also discuss their comparability.

Q.2 Let X be a set and assume p ∈ X. Show that the collection T, consisting of Φ, X and all subsets of
X containing p, is a topology on X. (Particular point topology PPXp)

Q.3 Let X be a set and assume p ∈ X. Show that the collection T, consisting of Φ, X and all subsets of
X that exclude p, is a topology on X. (Excluded point topology EPXp)

 {n} , if n is odd
Q.4 For each n ∈ ℤ, define B(n)   .
{n  1, n, n  1} , if n is even
Show that B(n) is a basis for a topology on ℤ. (Digital line topology)

Q.5 Let 𝔹 be the collection of subsets of ℝ defined as


B = {U  F : U is open in the usual topology on ℝ and F  ℝ~ℚ}. Show that 𝔹 is a basis for a
topology on ℝ. (Michael Line)

Q.6 Let 𝔹 be the collection of subsets of ℝ defined as


𝔹 = {A ⊂ ℝ : 0 ∉ A} ∪ {B ⊂ ℝ : 0 ∈ B and ℝ ~ B is finite}. Show that 𝔹 is a basis for a
topology on  .

Q.7 An arithmetic progression on ℤ is a set Aa, b  {..., a  2b, a  b, a, a  b, a  2b,...}with a, b ∈ ℤ and


b ≠ 0. Show that the collection of arithmetic progressions
A = { Aa, b a, b  Z and b  0} is a basis for a topology on ℤ. (Arithmetic progression topology)
