Consider the closed forward light cone
[tex] V = \left \lbrace x \in M \mid x^{2} \geq 0, x^{0} \geq 0 \right \rbrace [/tex]
and M denotes Minkowski space.
My question is whether V is a compact set or not. If it is a compact set, how do I show it?
Intuitively I would say it is compact, but I don't know how to proof it.
I hope someone can help me.
