In the previous chapter we saw that in a metric space, continuity of functions is only indirectly determined by the metric itself. | ||
Instead, the structure that determines continuity {prf:ref}`is the set of open sets<topology:theorem-characterisation-of-continuity>`. | ||
This motivates the definition of a topological space, which abstracts the notion of open sets from metric spaces. | ||
|
||
## Topologies | ||
First, we define topological spaces. | ||
These are sets equipped with a topology, a collection of subsets which we _define_ to be open. | ||
Unlike in metric spaces, where we first defined open balls and then used them to define open sets, here we define open sets directly, and require they satisfy certain properties. | ||
|
||
:::{prf:definition} Topological space | ||
:label: topology:def-topological-space | ||
A topological space is a set $X,$ called the space, together with a collection $\mathcal{U} \subseteq \mathcal{P}(X)$ of subsets of $X,$ called the topology on $X,$ such that | ||
|
||
1. $\emptyset, X \in \mathcal{U},$ | ||
2. If ${U_i}_{i \in I} \subseteq \mathcal{U},$ then $\bigcup_{i \in I} U_i \in \mathcal{U},$ | ||
3. If $U_1, \dots, U_n \in \mathcal{U},$ then $\bigcap_{i=1}^n U_i \in \mathcal{U}.$ | ||
|
||
The elements of $X$ are called points, and the elements of $\mathcal{U}$ are called open sets. | ||
::: | ||
|
||
|
||
When working with specific spaces, they will often be already be equipped with a metric. | ||
We refer to the topology associated with a given metric as the induced topology. | ||
|
||
:::{prf:definition} Induced topology | ||
:label: topology:def-induced-topology | ||
Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space. | ||
Then, the topology induced by $d$ is the set of all open sets in $X$ with respect to the metric $d.$ | ||
::: | ||
|
||
|
||
We now also re-define continuity in terms of open sets. | ||
|
||
:::{prf:definition} Continuous function | ||
:label: topology:def-continuous-function-topology | ||
Let $f: X \to Y$ be a function between topological spaces. | ||
Then, $f$ is continuous if for every open set $U \subseteq Y,$ the pre-image $f^{-1}(U)$ is an open set in $X.$ | ||
