Second-countable space

In topology, a second-countable space, also called a completely separable space, is a topological space whose topology has a countable base. More explicitly, a topological space is second-countable if there exists some countable collection of open subsets of such that any open subset of can be written as a union of elements of some subfamily of . A second-countable space is said to satisfy the second axiom of countability. Like other countability axioms, the property of being second-countable restricts the number of open sets that a space can have. Many "well-behaved" spaces in mathematics are second-countable. For example, Euclidean space (Rn) with its usual topology is second-countable. Although the usual base of open balls is uncountable, one can restrict to the collection of all open balls with rational radii and whose centers have rational coordinates. This restricted set is countable and still forms a basis. (Wikipedia).

What is a Manifold? Lesson 4: Countability and Continuity

In this lesson we review the idea of first and second countability. Also, we study the topological definition of a continuous function and then define a homeomorphism.

Geometry of Surfaces - Topological Surfaces Lecture 1 : Oxford Mathematics 3rd Year Student Lecture

This is the first of four lectures from Dominic Joyce's 3rd Year Geometry of Surfaces course. The four lectures cover topological surfaces and conclude with a big result, namely the classification of surfaces. This lecture provides an introduction to the course and to topological surfaces.

Totally Bounded

In this video, we define total boundedness, which is a beautiful concept from topology, and we show that any compact space must be totally bounded. Enjoy! Topology Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJb1qAQIrmmA13vj9xkHGGBXRMV32EKVI Subscribe to my channel: https://youtube.com/d

Uri Bader - 1/4 Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions

Ergodic Theory is a powerful tool in the study of linear groups. When trying to crystallize its role, emerges the theory of AREAs, that is Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions, which provides a categorical framework for various previously studied concepts and methods. Roughly, this
