Here's a fairly easy fact from point-set topology that I'm having trouble finding a reference for. Say $X$ is a total order satisfying the least-upper bound property, and $S$ is a closed subset of it....

(This is a re-post of my old unanswered question from Math.SE) For purposes of this question, let's concern ourselves only with linear (but not necessarily well-founded) order types. Recall that: $...

How many subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ are order isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$? How many subsets of the long line $\omega_1\times[0,1)$ are order isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$? I can see that results in both ...

I'm trying to find the correct term for a specific kind of totally ordered space: Let $S$ be a totally ordered space with strict total order $<$. Property: For any two $s_{1}$ and $s_{2}$ in $S$ ...
