Consider how we might partition the unit interval in the reals into disjoint closed sets $$[0,1]=\bigsqcup_i C_i.$$ Of course, we could partition the unit interval into singletons, which would make …

This question is a special case of Dominic van der Zypen's question Reconstructing relations with the image relation of a topology, as discussed in the comments, particularly the comment of Eric Wofse …

This question arises in connection with this MO question and especially with Sergei Ivanov's wonderful answer, which showed that for any countable set $Q\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ and every closed set $F\su …

Which are the rigid suborders of the real line? If A is any set of reals, then it can be viewed as an order structure itself under the induced order (A,<). The question is, when is this structure ri …

My question is about the concept of nonstandard metric space that would arise from a use of the nonstandard reals R* in place of the usual R-valued metric. That is, let us define that a topological sp …

This question arises from the excellent question posed on math.SE by Salvo Tringali, namely, Correspondence between Borel algebras and topology. Since the question was not answered there after some ti …

This question is about the space of all topologies on a fixed set X. We may order the topologies by refinement, so that τ ≤ σ just in case every τ open set is open in σ. Equivalently, we say in this c …
