  Felix Hausdorff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Felix Hausdorff (November 8, 1868 – January 26, 1942) was a German mathematician who is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and who contributed significantly to set theory and functional analysis.
Hausdorff studied in Leipzig and taught mathematics there until 1910, when he became professor of mathematics in Bonn.
When the Nazis came to power, Hausdorff, who was Jewish, felt that as a respected university professor he would be spared from persecution.

 halting problem - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Yet another, quite amazing, consequence of the undecidability of the halting problem is Rice's theorem which states that the truth of any non-trivial statement about the function that is defined by an algorithm is undecidable.
The concepts raised by Gdel's incompleteness theorems are very similar to those raised by the halting problem, and the proofs are quite similar.
This weaker form differs from the standard statement of the incompleteness theorem by asserting that a complete, consistent and sound axiomatization of all statements about natural numbers is unachievable.

The Hausdorff dimension agrees with the ordinary (topological) dimension on "well-behaved sets", but it is applicable to many more sets and is not always a natural number.
In fact, Hausdorff's original definition of topological space required all topological spaces to be Hausdorff (a requirement that is not made today).
Pseudometric spaces typically are not Hausdorff, but they are preregular, and their use in analysis is usually only in the construction of Hausdorff gauge spaces.

It uses both Zorn's lemma and Hausdorff's Maximality Theorem (which are both equivalent to the Axiom of Choice).
Another classical use of Tychonoff'Theorem in functional analysis is Banach-Alaoglu's Theorem: In the dual space of a Banach space, the unit ball is compact for its weak topology.
For the more common application involving Hausdorff spaces, the theorem is equivalent to "the Prime Ideal Theorem", which says, in one form, that every non-trivial filter in a Boolean algebra can be extended to an ultrafilter.

Up to Theorem 1.31, we have only used 'an appropriate version of Urysohn's lemma' in Example 1.19; such a version is Proposition 15 on p.
To understand the statement of Theorem 1.31 in the notes, you need to know what the weak*-topology of the dual space is. The relevant material can be found on pp.
While Alaglu's theorem is not needed to understand the statement, it is certainly necessary in order to understand the proof.

If {X} is a compact Hausdorff space and F is an equicontinuous, pointwise bounded subset of the space C(X) of continuous functions on X, then F is totally bounded in the uniform metric and the closure of F in C(X) is compact.
It is equivalent to: 1) Zorn's Lemma; 2) the Hausdorff Maximality Theorem; 3) the well-ordering
This theorem establishes both that there are different sizes of infinity, and that there is no greatest such “size.” Cantor's proof was the first use of a diagonalization argument to derive a contradiction.

This consists of the basic definition of a group, examples (some of which will be presented in class) of groups, subgroups, order of groups and elements, the fundamental theorem on cyclic groups, cosets and Lagrange's theorem.
This week we will be continuing the study of rings, including the fundamental theorem of arithmetic (unique factorization into primes) for PID's, examples of Euclidean rings and the Euclidean algorithm in such rings, and Gauss's lemma on irreducible polynomials in Z[X].

Duality In the previous definitions, we often noted that a concept can be defined by just inverting the ordering in a former definition.
This is the case for "least" and "greatest", for "minimal" and "maximal", for "upper bound" and "lower bound", and so on.
This is a general situation in order theory: A given order can be inverted by just exchanging its direction, pictorially flipping the Hasse diagram top-down.
