Definition of Connected Subspace
Two sets are called disjoint if they have no element in common. Thus for two subsets of $Y\subset X$ there is no distinction to be made between "disjoint in $Y$ and "disjoint in $X$".
Call two sets i …

Does every ultrafilter has single limit imply Hausdorff separation
An ultrafilter $U$ on the space $X$ is said to converge to the point $p$ if every neighborhood of $p$ belongs to $U$. (This is equivalent to saying that the complement of an element of $U$ is never a …

closed connected subspace of a cartesian product
Start with any example of a continuous bijection $f:A\to B$ between connected CW spaces that is not a homeomorphism. For example, $A$ a closed half-line and $B$ a circle.
Let $Y$ be $A\times B$, choo …

locally connected versus locally compact
If $X$ is a space and "P" is an adjective that can apply to spaces, then in many cases "$X$ is locally P" means "for every point $x\in X$, for every neighborhood $N$ of $x$, there is a neighborhood $N …

Continuity of maps in which preimage preserves compactness
$f$ need not be continuous. Let $Y$ be a countably infinite set with the discrete topology. Let $X$ be the same set with a different Hausdorff topology. Let $f$ be the identity map.

Continuous projective geometry on the interval
If $(P,L)$ is an abstract projective plane, then for any point $p\in P$ and any line $\ell\in L$ not incident to $p$ there is a bijection between the set of points incident to $\ell$ and the set of li …

Is the defining bijection for a pullback of topological spaces a homeomorphism?
Yes. The functor $Top(T,-)$ preserves limits because it is a right adjoint.

When does a homeomorphism split into essentially minimal homeomorphisms?
No. Let $X$ be a closed interval and let $\phi:X\to X $ be an order-preserving bijection that fixes only the endpoints.
Edit: This is an answer to a trivial question which is not the intended one.

Do Smash Products and Quotients Commute?
$X\wedge X\subset (Y\wedge X)\cup (X\wedge Y)\subset Y\wedge Y$, with quotients $((Y/X)\wedge X)\vee (X\wedge (Y/X))$ and $(Y/X)\wedge (Y/X)$.

Weak homotopy equivalence of $H$-spaces
If $H$ and $G$ are spaces having abelian fundamental groups (for all basepoints), and if there is a natural isomorphism between the sets $[X,H]$ and $[X,G]$ for finite CW complexes $X$, then $H$ and $ …

Is there a Whitney Embedding Theorem for non-smooth manifolds?
A bit off-topic, but I'd like to mention some big differences between Whitney's $2n$ theorem and his $2n+1$ theorem.
The idea of the $2n+1$ theorem is that "most" smooth maps from a compact smooth $ …

What topological principle is at work here?
EDIT: I've added an argument at the end that proves a more general statement and does so more simply.
I'll show that if $X$ is a finite simplicial complex having even Euler characteristic then there i …

Homotopy equivalence of maps with compact support and maps which vanish at infinity
Let's assume $X$ is locally compact Hausdorff, so that $\hat X$ is compact Hausdorff and you can indeed use $C(\hat X,Y)$.
If the inclusion $i:C_c(X,Y)\to C(\hat X, Y)$ is a homotopy equivalence for …

Does $\mathbb C\mathbb P^\infty$ have a group structure?
Let $G$ be a set. Let $EG$ be the realization of the nerve of the category that has $G$ as object set, with one morphism for each source and target. This is contractible if $G$ is not empty. If $G$ is …

Associativity of topological join and join of spheres
If $A$ and $B$ are subsets of $\mathbb R^n$ then you can map $A\times I\times B$ to $\mathbb R^n$ by $(a,t,b)\mapsto (1-t)a+tb$. If the resulting continuous map $A*B\to \mathbb R^n$ happens to be one …
