This article is about a particular topological space (uniquely determined up to homeomorphism)|View a complete list of particular topological spaces

Definition

This topological space is defined as follows:

  • Its underlying set is an infinite countable set.
  • The topology on it is a cofinite topology.

The topological space also arises as the Zariski topology for a countably infinite field as an algebraic variety over itself, or more generally, for any connected one-dimensional algebraic variety over a countably infinite field. Equivalently, it arises as the max-spectrum of the polynomial ring in one variable over a countably infinite field.

Topological space properties

Property Satisfied? Explanation Corollary properties satisfied/dissatisfied
T1 space Yes points are closed by definition satisfies: Kolmogorov space
sober space Yes we can see this from its algebraic variety interpretation, or directly
Hausdorff space No any two non-empty open subsets intersect, so the space is far from Hausdorff dissatisfies: regular space, completely regular space, normal space
compact space Yes any space with a cofinite topology is compact
connected space Yes any two non-empty open subsets intersect, so the space must be connected
locally connected space Yes
path-connected space No countable space with cofinite topology is not path-connected
Toronto space Yes
Baire space No the intersection of complements of points is empty, although each complement is open and dense and there are countably many of them.
