  2. Direct limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_limit

    The weak topology of a CW complex is defined as a direct limit. Let X {\displaystyle X} be any directed set with a greatest element m {\displaystyle m} . The direct limit of any corresponding direct system is isomorphic to X m {\displaystyle X_{m}} and the canonical morphism ϕ m : X m → X {\displaystyle \phi _{m}:X_{m}\rightarrow X} is an ...

  3. Accumulation point - Wikipedia

    However, is a limit point (though not a boundary point) of interval [,] in with standard topology (for a less trivial example of a limit point, see the first caption). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] This concept profitably generalizes the notion of a limit and is the underpinning of concepts such as closed set and topological closure .

  4. Limit (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)

    In topology, limits are used to define limit points of a subset of a topological space, which in turn give a useful characterization of closed sets. In a topological space X {\displaystyle X} , consider a subset S {\displaystyle S} .

  5. Lower limit topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_limit_topology

    The Sorgenfrey line can thus be used to study right-sided limits: if : is a function, then the ordinary right-sided limit of at (when the codomain carries the standard topology) is the same as the usual limit of at when the domain is equipped with the lower limit topology and the codomain carries the standard topology.

  6. Topological space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_space

    There are several equivalent definitions of a topology, the most commonly used of which is the definition through open sets, which is easier than the others to manipulate. A topological space is the most general type of a mathematical space that allows for the definition of limits , continuity , and connectedness .

    See limit point. Alexandrov topology The topology of a space X is an Alexandrov topology (or is finitely generated) if arbitrary intersections of open sets in X are open, or equivalently, if arbitrary unions of closed sets are closed, or, again equivalently, if the open sets are the upper sets of a poset. [1] Almost discrete

  8. Topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

  9. Closure (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(topology)

    The definition of a point of closure of a set is closely related to the definition of a limit point of a set.The difference between the two definitions is subtle but important – namely, in the definition of a limit point of a set , every neighbourhood of must contain a point of other than itself, i.e., each neighbourhood of obviously has but it also must have a point of that is not equal to ...
