Statement

Statement with symbols

Suppose (X,d) is a metric space. Then, we can consider the induced topology on X from the metric.

Now, consider a subset Y of X. The metric on X induces a Subspace metric (?) on Y, by restriction. Thus, there are two possible topologies we can put on Y:

  • The Subspace topology (?) from the topology induced by the metric on X
  • The induced topology from the subspace metric on Y

These two topologies are the same.
