The Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem Every infinite set in a compact space has a limit point.
Proof. Suppose that \( F \) is an infinite subset with no limit points. If \( x \) is not a limit point of \( F \) and \( x \notin F \), there is an open set \( {U}_{x} \) around \( x \) that misses \( F \) .

Corollary 2.18.2 If \( X \) is compact and \( Y \) is Hausdorff, then every map \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) is closed.
Proof. Let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) be a map from a compact space to a Hausdorff space, and let \( C \subseteq X \) be closed. Then \( C \) is compact, so \( {fC} \) is compact, so \( {fC} \) is closed.

Corollary 2.18.3 (Heine-Borel Theorem) A subset of \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded.
Proof. Suppose that \( K \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) is compact. Since the cover of \( K \) consisting of open balls centered at the origin of all possible radii must have a finite subcover, \( K \) must be bounded.

Theorem 3.1 A space \( X \) is \( {T}_{1} \) if and only if for any \( x \in X \), the constant sequence \( x, x, x,\ldots \) converges to \( x \) and only to \( x \) .

Given a topological space \( \left( {X,\mathcal{T}}\right) \), the open neighborhoods \( {\mathcal{T}}_{x} \) of a point \( x \) form a filterbase, though they generally do not form a filter.
The reason is simply that (usually) not every set containing an open neighborhood of \( x \) is open. But there is some ambiguity in the mathematics community on this point. Kelley (1955) defines \

Example 3.14 The real-valued sequence \( \left\{ {x}_{n}\right\} \mathrel{\text{:=}} \{ 1, - 1,\frac{1}{2}, - 1,\frac{1}{4}, - 1,\frac{1}{8},\ldots \} \) does not converge, whereas the subsequence \( \left\{ {x}_{2n}\right\} = \left\{ {1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{8},\ldots }\right\} \) does.
We can see this by reasoning with eventuality filters, which isn't so different from reasoning with sequences. Here's the thing to notice: the eventuality filter \( {\mathcal{E}}_{{x}_{2n}} \) is the set of all subsets \( A \subset \mathbb{R} \) for which there exists an \( N \) so that \( \frac{1}{{2}^{n}} \in A \) fo...

Theorem 3.8 A space is Hausdorff if and only if limits of convergent proper filters are unique.
Proof. Suppose \( X \) is Hausdorff and that a proper filter \( \mathcal{F} \) converges to both \( x \) and \( y \) with \( x \neq y \) . Then there are open neighborhoods \( U \) of \( x \) and \( V \) of \( y \) with \( U \cap V = \varnothing \) . By convergence, \( U, V \in \mathcal{F} \) . Since \( \mathcal{F} \) ...

Proof. First recall that \( x \in \bar{A} \) if and only if every neighborhood of \( x \) nontrivially intersects \( A \) or equivalently if and only if the filterbase \( \mathcal{B} = \{ U \cap A{\} }_{U \in {\mathcal{T}}_{x}} \) does not contain the empty set.

Proof. Let \( \mathcal{F} \) be a filter on \( X \) with \( \mathcal{F} \rightarrow x \), and suppose \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) is continuous. We want to show \( {\mathcal{T}}_{fx} \subseteq {f}_{ * }\mathcal{F} \) ; that is, for any \( B \in {\mathcal{T}}_{fx} \) there exists a set \( A \in \mathcal{F} \) with \( {fA}...

Proposition 3.1 A filter \( \mathcal{U} \) on a set \( X \) is an ultrafilter if and only if for every subset \( A \subseteq X \) the following condition holds: \( A \notin \mathcal{U} \) if and only if there exists \( B \in \mathcal{U} \) with \( A \cap B = \varnothing \) .
Proof. Let \( \mathcal{U} \) be an ultrafilter. Then \( A \notin \mathcal{U} \) if and only if the filter generated by \( \mathcal{U} \cup \{ A\} \) is the powerset \( {2}^{X} \) . Since the generated filter consists of all sets containing an intersection of the form \( B \cap A \) for some \( B \in \mathcal{U} \), thi...

Theorem 3.11 A filter on \( X \) is maximal if and only if it is prime.
Proof. Suppose \( \mathcal{F} \) is an ultrafilter on \( X \) and fails to be prime. Then there are \( A, B \subseteq X \) such that \( A \cup B \in \mathcal{F} \), but neither \( A \) nor \( B \) are in \( \mathcal{F} \) . The latter holds if and only if there exist sets \( {A}^{\prime },{B}^{\prime } \in \mathcal{F} ...

Theorem 3.14 Tychonoff’s theorem is equivalent to the axiom of choice.

If a compactification \( Y \) of a space \( X \) is obtained by adding a single point to \( X \), then \( X \hookrightarrow Y \) is called a one-point compactification-also sometimes called the Alexandroff one-point compactification. A space \( X \) has one-point compactification if and only if \( X \) is Hausdorff and...
To see this, suppose \( X \hookrightarrow {X}^{ * } \) is a compactification and \( {X}^{ * } \smallsetminus X = \{ p\} \) . The open neighborhoods of \( p \) are precisely the complements of compact subsets of \( X \) : the complement of an open set containing \( p \) is a closed subset of a compact space and so is co...

Proposition 6.1 \( \mathcal{P}X \) is contractible.
Proof. Let \( * \) denote the one-point space. The composition \( * \rightarrow \mathcal{P}X \rightarrow * \) is equal to \( {\mathrm{{id}}}_{ * } \), so to prove \( \mathcal{P}X \) is homotopy equivalent to \( * \), we need only show the composition \( \mathcal{P}X \rightarrow * \rightarrow \mathcal{P}X \) that sends ...

The map \( p \) from \( \mathbb{R} \) to \( {S}^{1} \) given by \( y \mapsto {e}^{2\pi iy} \) is a fibration with fiber \( \mathbb{Z} \) .

The key here is that \( p \) is a local homeomorphism: for every \( y \in \mathbb{R} \) there is an open neighborhood of \( y \) that maps homeomorphically onto its image-for instance, the interval \( \left( {y - \frac{1}{2}, y + \frac{1}{2}}\right) \) would work.

Corollary 6.5.1 The loop space of the circle \( \Omega {S}^{1} \) is homotopy equivalent to \( \mathbb{Z} \)

Theorem 6.6 For any space \( X \) the \( n \) th homotopy group \( {\pi }_{n}X \) is abelian for \( n \geq 2 \) .

No
The degree of the identity map on \( {S}^{1} \) is 1.
The degree of the map sending \( z \) to \( {iz} \) is also 1 since rotation by \( {90}^{ \circ } \) is homotopic to the identity map. And for any \( n \geq 1 \) , the degree of the map \( z \mapsto {z}^{n} \) is \( n \) .

Theorem 6.7 If \( f : {S}^{1} \rightarrow {S}^{1} \) has degree \( n \neq 1 \), then \( f \) has a fixed point.

Example 6.6 Recall from example 1.17 that we can view the torus \( T \) as the quotient of a square with opposite sides identified:
All four corners of the square are identified to a single point, say, \( {t}_{0} \) . So let’s consider the pointed torus \( \left( {T,{t}_{0}}\right) \) . Now suppose \( p \) is any other point in \( T \) . Set \( V = T \smallsetminus \{ p\} \), and let \( U \) be a \

It is clear that a discrete valuation ring has the stated properties. Conversely, suppose that A has these properties, and let \( \pi \) be a generator of the maximal ideal \( \mathfrak{m}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \) of \( \mathrm{A} \) .

It is clear that a discrete valuation ring satisfies (ii). Let us show that it satisfies \( \left( i\right) \) . Let \( \mathrm{K} \) be the field of fractions of \( \mathrm{A} \), and let \( x \) be an element of \( \mathrm{K} \) satisfying an equation of type \( \left( *\right) \), and suppose \( x \) were not in A. ...

One can assume \( {x}_{1} = 1 \) (dividing by \( {x}_{1} \) if necessary), whence \( v\left( {x}_{i}\right) \geq 1 \) for \( i \geq 2 \), i.e., \( {x}_{i} \in \mathfrak{m}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \) ; as \( {x}_{1} \notin \mathfrak{m}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \), it follows that \( {x}_{1} + \cdots + {x}_{n} \notin \mat...
