Homeomorphism onto a not open image in the target

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on providing an example of a homeomorphism from a subset U to its image φ(U) where φ(U) is not open in the topological space M. The identity map I_d is utilized as a homeomorphism, demonstrating that when U is not open in M, the image I_d(U) retains this property under the subspace topology derived from M. This establishes a clear relationship between the properties of U and its image in the context of topology.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic topology concepts, including open and closed sets.
  • Familiarity with homeomorphisms and their properties.
  • Knowledge of subspace topology and its implications.
  • Ability to work with identity maps in topological spaces.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of homeomorphisms in topological spaces.
  • Explore examples of non-open sets in various topological spaces.
  • Learn about subspace topology and its applications in topology.
  • Investigate the implications of identity maps in different topological contexts.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, particularly those specializing in topology, students studying advanced mathematics, and anyone interested in the properties of homeomorphisms and their applications in topological spaces.

TL;DR
An example of homeomorphism onto the image that isn't open in the target
Can you provide an example of homeomorphism onto the image φ:U→φ(U) where the image φ(U)⊂M is not open in M w.r.t. its assigned topology ?

Thanks.

Thanks.
Take a subset ##U\subset M##, which is not open and the identity map.

Ah ok, you mean a not open ##U \subset M## topologized with the subspace topology from ##M## taken as domain of the identity map ##I_d## (homeomorphism onto the image ##I_d(U)## w.r.t. the subspace topology from ##M##).
