Definition 1.15 (Relative topology). Let (X,d) be a metric space and let Y
be a subset of X. The induced metric subspace on Y is the metric space (Y, d
restricted to Y x Y). A subset E of Y is relatively open in Y if for every
y in E there exists r > 0 such that {z in Y | dist y z < r} is contained in
E. A subset E of Y is relatively closed in Y if it is closed in the induced
metric space, equivalently if Y \ E is relatively open in Y. Used in Proposition 1.18.
Instances For
A subset E of Y is relatively closed in Y if it is closed in the metric
subspace induced on Y. Used in Proposition 1.18.
Equations
- IsRelClosed Y E = (E.Subset Y ∧ IsClosed (Subtype.val ⁻¹' E))
Instances For
Helper for Proposition 1.18: preimage of an intersection with Y under the
subtype inclusion equals the preimage of the first set.
Helper for Proposition 1.18: recover E = V ∩ Y from equality of preimages.
Proposition 1.18. Let (X,d) be a metric space, let Y be a subset of X,
and let E be a subset of Y. (a) E is open in the subspace metric space on
Y iff there exists an open set V in X such that E = Set.inter V Y. (b)
E is closed in the subspace metric space on Y iff there exists a closed set
K in X such that E = Set.inter K Y.
Part (b): relative closedness in Y iff E = Set.inter K Y for some closed
K in X. Used in Proposition 1.18.
