Borel conjecture

In mathematics, specifically geometric topology, the Borel conjecture (named for Armand Borel) asserts that an aspherical closed manifold is determined by its fundamental group, up to homeomorphism. It is a rigidity conjecture, asserting that a weak, algebraic notion of equivalence (namely, homotopy equivalence) should imply a stronger, topological notion (namely, homeomorphism). There is a different Borel conjecture (named for Émile Borel) in set theory. It asserts that every strong measure zero set of reals is countable. Work of Nikolai Luzin and Richard Laver shows that this conjecture is independent of the ZFC axioms. This article is about the Borel conjecture in geometric topology. (Wikipedia).

Heine Borel Theorem

Here I prove the Heine-Borel Theorem, one of the most fundamental theorems in analysis. It says that in R^n, all boxes must be compact. The proof itself is very neat, and uses a bisection-type argument. Enjoy! Topology Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJb1qAQIrmmA13vj9xkHG

Emile Borel: Real number enthusiast or skeptic? | Sociology and Pure Mathematics | N J Wildberger

Emile Borel was a prominent French analyst and probabilist, and the founder of modern measure theory. He was also involved in the issue of "real numbers" and just what they actually are, and what it means to do arithmetic with them. This is a first introduction to his thinking, where we d
