  1. meaning of topology and topological space

    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'.

  2. If $f : X \to Y$ is a continuous function between topological spaces ...

    Apr 1, 2026 · Let $f : X \to Y$ be a continuous function between topological spaces, and suppose $ (x_n) \to x$. I am trying to show that $ (f (x_n)) \to f (x)$ using the following, pretty standard …

  3. Newest 'topological-dynamics' Questions - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Topological dynamics is a subfield of the area of dynamical systems. The main focus is properties of dynamical systems that can be formulated using topological objects.

  4. Net convergence and relation to topological space

    Feb 12, 2026 · Clearly all cofinal subnets are subnets using the inclusion map, but the converse is false. My query is, if we relax axioms 1-4 above to use cofinal subnets only, what would be the kind of …

  5. What is a topological space good for? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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 important example is …

  6. real analysis - What is an open set in a topological space ...

    Jan 4, 2021 · Topology is weird at first, but in the abstract setting of topology you define a topology by saying what your open sets are. This makes it nearly impossible to answer your question, because …

  7. What is the difference between topological and metric spaces?

    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 notion of …

  8. Prove that any topological group is completely regular.

    Aug 5, 2022 · So with respect the last definition I am trying to prove that any topological group $ (X,*,\cal T)$ is completely regular using the following Munkres procedure.

  9. dynamical systems - Does a dense orbit imply topological transitivity ...

    Nov 10, 2025 · Does a dense orbit imply topological transitivity for flows on manifolds? Ask Question Asked 4 months ago Modified 4 months ago

  10. Why do we need topological spaces? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    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 topological spaces? …
