Topic: Second countable


  
  Second-countable space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology, a second-countable space is a topological space satisfying the "second axiom of countability".
Although the usual base of open balls is not countable, one can restrict to the set of all open balls with rational radii and whose centers have rational coordinates.
In second-countable spaces—as in metric spaces—compactness, sequential compactness, and countable compactness are all equivalent properties.

 First-countable space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology, a branch of mathematics, a first-countable space is a topological space satisfying the "first axiom of countability".
An example of a space which is not first-countable is the cofinite topology on an uncountable set (such as the real line).
In first-countable spaces, sequential compactness and countable compactness are equivalent properties.

A first countable space need not be second countable --- consider any uncountable discrete space.
As for what you want to prove, namely that for countable topological spaces, first countability implies second countability, you want to be a bit more explicit in your proof.
[Each point has a countable local base (these bases may not be unique, so make sure you don't refer to any of them as "the local base at x" until you've fixed a choice of them in your proof), there are countably many points, a countable union of countable sets is countable,.

 Ordinal number Summary
A runner who comes in first comes in ahead of anyone else, and that is what is most notable about the event, not that one runner has crossed the line.
Likewise, someone coming in second "follows," and that, too, is something which can be noted without consciously counting the two runners.
in the name, this ordinal is countable), which is the smallest ordinal which cannot in any way be represented by a computable function (this can be made rigorous, of course).

 Urysonh's Metrization Criteria
Every metric space is normal, but may not be second countable, as shown by the descrete topology on an uncountable set.
Each isolated point is open, and is the union of base sets, hence there is a base open set for each point, which contradicts second countable.
Since p is the countable product of metric spaces it is metrizable, as demonstrated in the previous section.

Find a countable > topological space which is not second-countable (and thus not first-countable).
All points except (0,0) are open; as for (0,0), a neighborhood of that point is a set U such that, for all but finitely many choices of m, the sets I_m = { n
This _does_ give a topology and it's not hard to prove that there is no countable local basis at (0,0), hence the space is not 1st-countable.

Well-known properties held by metric spaces with the countable chain condition (ccc) such as separability, second countability, Lindelöf, paracompactness may fail in the absence of the axiom of choice AC.
In the long catalogue of weak choice principles, see [10], we find those which are sufficient (and in some cases necessary) to establish well known equivalences in ZFC between the statements CCMX, where CCMX stands for: ccc metric spaces have the property X, X
We close this gap by showing that the answer to the above question is affirmative.

However, what you've proved is still true: there's a countable set of open balls whose union is X; in fact, you can take one single ball, namely B(x,2) for some in X. However, you can't deduce from this that your space is second countable (because it ain't!).
