Pdf minimal open sets or mopen sets for a topology are defined and investigated. Even if the subspace topology on a subset of x is the discrete topology, this need not imply that the set has the discrete topology. Minimal open sets or m open sets for a topology are defined and investigated. Generalized closed sets and open sets in topological. To describe the topology on specz note that the closure of any point is the set of prime ideals containing that point. If the set is finite, this is just the discrete topology, but if the set is infinite, then this ends up being a stranger topology than you might be used to. Notes on metric spaces these notes are an alternative to the textbook, from and including closed sets and open sets page 58 to and excluding cantor sets page 95 1 the topology of metric spaces assume m is a metric space with distance function d.

Whether a set is open depends on the topology under. If g is a topological group, and t 2g, then the maps g 7. The open and closed sets of a topological space examples 1. Bearing in mind again that t discrete must be closed under unions, it seems as though declaring that all of the singletons fxg, for x2x, are open is enough to specify the entire topology.
