Cantor's intersection theorem

Cantor's intersection theorem refers to two closely related theorems in general topology and real analysis, named after Georg Cantor, about intersections of decreasing nested sequences of non-empty compact sets. (Wikipedia).

What is an Intersection? (Set Theory)

What is the intersection of sets? This is another video on set theory in which we discuss the intersection of a set and another set, using the classic example of A intersect B. We do not quite go over a formal definition of intersection of a set in this video, but we come very close! Be su

Counting formula for two intersecting sets: N(A union B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A intersect B)

Previously we saw a sample space is a disjoint union and we had a summation rule to count probabilities in this scenario. Now we consider a non-disjoint union where there is a nontrivial intersection between the two sets. The formula for the number of elements in the union of A and B is th

We will give the proof of Mirzakhani's theorem that the earthquake flow and Teichmuller unipotent flow are measurably isomorphic. We will assume some familiarity with quadratic differentials, but no familiarity with earthquakes, and the first lecture will be devoted to preliminaries. The s
