Subspace topology
[7/86%]Give an example of a separable topological space possessing a non-separable subspace.
Prove the stated assertion. If is a topological space with topology and , then the set is a topological space with the topology . The topology is called the topology induced by the topology of the space on its subset .
For , show that the usual topology on is the same as the subspace topology.
Proposition 1.2.2: If has the subspace topology, then is closed in iff , where is closed in .
One direction has already been shown: by the definition of the subspace topology, the open sets in are the intersections of with the open sets in . Suppose is closed in . Then , where is open in . Then , where is open in . Hence, if , then is closed in and
Complete the proof by proving the converse: suppose where is closed in , and show that is closed in .
Suppose is a closed subset of . Then is closed in (with the subspace topology) iff is closed in .
Let be a metric space with metric and let be a subset of . Show that the metric topology on given by is the same as the subspace topology.
Suppose , and has the subspace topology. Show that, if is open in and is open in , then is open in .
