Pytkeev space

From HandWiki
Short description: Mathematics concept

In mathematics, and especially topology, a Pytkeev space is a topological space that satisfies qualities more subtle than a convergence of a sequence. They are named after E. G. Pytkeev, who proved in 1983 that sequential spaces have this property.[1]

Definitions

Let X be a topological space. For a subset S of X let S denote the closure of S. Then a point x is called a Pytkeev point if for every set A with xA \ {x}, there is a countable [math]\displaystyle{ \pi }[/math]-net of infinite subsets of A. A Pytkeev space is a space in which every point is a Pytkeev point.[2]

Examples

  • Every sequential space is also a Pytkeev space. This is because, if xA \ {x} then there exists a sequence {ak} that converges to x. So take the countable π-net of infinite subsets of A to be {Ak} = {ak, ak+1, ak+2, …}.[2]
  • If X is a Pytkeev space, then it is also a Weakly Fréchet–Urysohn space.
