Compact-open topology

In mathematics, the compact-open topology is a topology defined on the set of continuous maps between two topological spaces. The compact-open topology is one of the commonly used topologies on function spaces, and is applied in homotopy theory and functional analysis. It was introduced by Ralph Fox in 1945. If the codomain of the functions under consideration has a uniform structure or a metric structure then the compact-open topology is the "topology of uniform convergence on compact sets." That is to say, a sequence of functions converges in the compact-open topology precisely when it converges uniformly on every compact subset of the domain. (Wikipedia).

Properties of Compactness

Compact sets enjoy some mysterious properties, which I'll discuss in this video. More precisely, compact sets are always bounded and closed. The beauty of this result lies in the proof, which is an elegant application of this subtle concept. Enjoy! Compactness Definition: https://youtu.be

What is a closed set ?

I define closed sets, an important notion in topology and analysis. It is defined in terms of limit points, and has a priori nothing to do with open sets. Yet I show the important result that a set is closed if and only if its complement is open. More topology videos can be found on my pla

MAST30026 Lecture 12: Function spaces (Part 3)

We continued the discussion of the compact-open topology on function spaces. Guided by Part 2 we defined this topology, and got about half way through the proof that the adjunction property (aka the exponential law) holds when function spaces are given this topology. Lecture notes: http:/

This is mostly a review point set topology. In general it is not true that a bijective continuous map is invertible (you need to worry about the inverse being continuous). In the case that your spaces are compact hausdorff this is true! We prove this in this video and review necessary fac
