chiyui Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm a beginner of topology and I'm doing a proof with the following details: Let T be the finite-closed topology on a set X. If T is also the discrete topology, prove that the set X is finite. I write my proof as follows: --------------------------------- Proof: Since T is the discrete topology, all singleton set {x} are in T. Hence, every subset of X is in T. Since T is finite-closed, every sets in T must have finite complement with respect to X. But since every subset of X is in T, every subsets of X must have finite complement w.r.t. X. Hence, X is finite. ---------------------------------- May anyone commment on if my proof (as follows) is correct or not? Thanks a lot.
