The linked book seems to be about something else, at least if you believe the description. It seems to be about computational aspects of topology, as opposed to using topological …

For any topological space X, the set of subsets of X with compact closure is a Bornology. If yes to 2, does it coincide with boundedness in a metric space and in a topological vector space? How …

Sep 11, 2016 · For example, the topological dual (the space of all continuous linear functionals) of a Hilbert space is the Hilbert space itself, by the Riesz representation theorem, while the …

Oct 6, 2020 · Please correct me if I am wrong: We need the general notion of metric spaces in order to cover convergence in $\\mathbb{R}^n$ and other spaces. But why do we need …

While in topological spaces the notion of a neighborhood is just an abstract concept which reflects somehow the properties a "neighborhood" should have, a metric space really have some …

"A topological property or topological invariant is a property of a topological space which is invariant under homeomorphisms. That is, a property of spaces is a topological property if …

Apr 28, 2012 · A topological space is just a set with a topology defined on it. What 'a topology' is is a collection of subsets of your set which you have declared to be 'open'.

Dec 6, 2019 · Why is the topological sum a thing worth considering? There are many possible answers, but one of them is that the topological sum is the coproduct in the category of …

May 23, 2016 · Topological spaces can also be applied to settings where it's not clear how to define a metric, or even when you can't even apply the notion of metric space at all. An …

Oct 20, 2016 · I am having some trouble understanding the mechanics of the topological definition of continuity. It has been defined as follows: A function $ f: \\mathbb{R^n} \\to \\mathbb{R^m}$ …
