  PlanetMath: Zariski topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Zariski topology is the predominant topology used in the study of algebraic geometry.
Every regular morphism of varieties is continuous in the Zariski topology (but not every continuous map in the Zariski topology is a regular morphism).
This is version 1 of Zariski topology, born on 2002-05-11.

 Topology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A topology is a set of points, and a collection of subsets that are designated as "open".
To be a proper topology, the empty set and the entire set must be open, and open sets remain open under finite intersection and arbitrary union.
The complement of an open set is closed, and it follows that closed sets are closed under arbitrary intersection and finite union.

An early result in topology states that every closed 3-manifold (closed meaning that the manifold is finite and connected but has no boundary) has a Heegaard splitting and a resulting description in terms of a Heegaard diagram, which describes how the two handlebodies are glued together.
In 3-dimensional topology, a surface in a 3-manifold with the property that no essential circle in the surface bounds a disk in the manifold.

 54: General topology
Topology is the study of sets on which one has a notion of "closeness" -- enough to decide which functions defined on it are continuous.
Thus a general theme in topology is to test the extent to which the axioms force the kind of structure one expects to use and then, as appropriate, introduce other axioms so as to better match the intended application.
Since the axioms of topology are stated in terms of subsets of X, it should be no surprise that one branch of topology is closely related to set theory, particularly "descriptive set theory".

Topological structure (topology)); it is immaterial whether this is an open or closed topology (one transfers into the other by replacing the sets constituting the given topology by their complements).
to specify a base of the given topology), in terms of which all remaining elements of the topology can be obtained as unions (in the case of an open topology) or intersections (in the closed case) of sets belonging to the base.
Closely associated with the concept of a topological space is that of a continuous mapping from one space into another.

 Topology history
The subject of topology itself consists of several different branches, such as point set topology, algebraic topology and differential topology, which have relatively little in common.
Perhaps the first work which deserves to be considered as the beginnings of topology is due to Euler.
A second way in which topology developed was through the generalisation of the ideas of convergence.

 Closed set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a closed set is a set whose complement is open.
The unit interval [0,1] is closed in the real numbers, and the set [0,1] ∩ Q of rational numbers between 0 and 1 (inclusive) is closed in the space of rational numbers, but [0,1] ∩ Q is not closed in the real numbers.
The notion of closed set is defined above in terms of open sets, a concept that makes sense for topological spaces, as well as for other spaces that carry topological structures, such as metric spaces, differentiable manifolds, uniform spaces, and gauge spaces.

 PlanetMath: product topology
The product topology is generally more useful than the box topology.
The main reason for this can be expressed in terms of category theory: the product topology is the topology of the direct categorical product in the category Top (see Theorem 1 below).

Each connected component is closed, and the set of connected components of a space is a partition of that space.
Algebraic topology is the study of topologically invariant abstract algebra constructions on topological spaces.
The weak topology on a set, with respect to a collection of functions from that set into topological spaces, is the coarsest topology on the set which makes all the functions continuous.

 Closed extension topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Closed extension topology is a topology created on the extension of a set by extending the closed sets.
We note the closed sets on X\{p} are the same as those on X, which shows the equivalence of the two definitions.
If we replace the criteria that X\S be closed with the criteria that it be compact then we converted from the closed extension topology to the one-point compactification.

 Closed graph theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the closed graph theorem is a basic result in functional analysis which characterizes continuous linear operators between Banach spaces in terms of the operator graph.
The restriction on the domain is needed due to the existence of closed unbounded linear operators.
The usual proof of the closed graph theorem employs the open mapping theorem.

 Topology
The family t is called a topology (for X) when it satisfies these axioms and its elements are called _open sets_ (open wrt the topology).
The reader should now check that continuity in the sense of calculus of a function from R to R is equivalent to continuity as a map of topological spaces, with respect to the topology m.
Hence, if A is any nonempty subset of X, the intersection of all closed subsets of X which contain A must also be closed, and we call this set the _closure_ of A, denoted cl(A), or cl(A,t) if it is necessary to indicate the topology t on X with respect to which closure is taken.

 Topology Course Lecture Notes
We all recall the important and useful theorem from calculus, that functions which are continuous on a closed and bounded interval take on a maximum and minimum value on that interval.
This topology is 'just right' in the sense that it is barely fine enough to guarantee the continuity of the coordinate projection functions while being just course enough allow the important result of Theorem.
A basic formal distinction between algebra and topology is that although the inverse of a one-one, onto group homomorphism [etc!] is automatically a homomorphism again, the inverse of a one-one, onto continuous map can fail to be continuous.

 University of Chicago Algebraic Topology Seminar
The algebraic topology seminar is held in Eckhart Hall room 203, on Tuesdays at 4:30PM, unless otherwise specified.
The area of string topology began with a construction by Chas and Sullivan of previously undiscovered algebraic structure on the homology H_*(LM) of the free loop space of an oriented manifold M. Among other results, Chas and Sullivan showed that H_*(LM), suitably regraded, carries the structure of a graded-commutative algebra.
Open-closed string topology, first sketched by Sullivan, arises when considering spaces of paths in M with endpoints constrained to lie on given submanifolds (the so-called D-branes).
