In summary, the cofinite topology is an example of a T1 topology, where every singleton set is open. This makes it the finest T1 topology, but there are other finer topologies such as the discrete topology or the finite complement topology.

...anything finer that the cofinite topology is T1?

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but the cofinite topology is actually an example of a T1 topology. In fact, any finite or cofinite topology is automatically T1. This is because in these topologies, every singleton set (a set containing only one point) is open, which is the definition of a T1 topology. So, to answer your question, there is nothing finer than the cofinite topology in terms of T1 topologies. However, there are other types of topologies that are finer than the cofinite topology, such as the discrete topology or the finite complement topology.
 

1. Is the statement "anything coarser than the cofinite topology is not T1" always true?

No, this statement is not always true. There are certain exceptions, such as the discrete topology, which is coarser than the cofinite topology but is still T1.

2. What is the definition of the cofinite topology?

The cofinite topology on a set X is a topology where the open sets are the empty set and any set that has a finite complement in X.

3. How does the cofinite topology relate to the T1 property?

The cofinite topology is not T1, which means that for any two distinct points in X, there exists an open set containing one point but not the other. In other words, the topology does not separate points.

4. Can the cofinite topology be used in practical applications?

Yes, the cofinite topology has applications in computer science, where it is used for efficient indexing and searching in large databases.

5. Are there any other topologies that are coarser than the cofinite topology?

Yes, there are infinitely many topologies that are coarser than the cofinite topology. Some examples include the trivial topology and the cocountable topology.
