Hello
I am curious about this. Uryshon' s lemma is also known as "the first non-trivial fact of point set topology", what are the others non-trivial facts of point set topology?
I suppose Tychonoff' s theorem is another one.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would say things like Tychonoffs theorem, Tietze's extension theorem, Cech-Stone compactifications,...
 
Not to forget space-filling curves and the theorem that says that every compact metric space is the image of the Cantor set. Also, the Siefert-Van Kampen theorem, but that's algebraic topology...
 
Perhaps the existence of a partition of unity for certain spaces.
 
Yeah, that to. And also Stones theorem that metric spaces are paracompact...
 
Thank you guys
 
Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
