Lindelöf sets and Lindelöf spaces #
Main definitions #
We define the following properties for sets in a topological space:
IsLindelof s: Two definitions are possible here. The more standard definition is that every open cover that containsscontains a countable subcover. We choose for the equivalent definition where we require that every nontrivial filter onswith the countable intersection property has a clusterpoint. Equivalence is established inisLindelof_iff_countable_subcover.LindelofSpace X:Xis Lindelöf if it is Lindelöf as a set.NonLindelofSpace: a space that is not a Lindëlof space, e.g. the Long Line.
Main results #
isLindelof_iff_countable_subcover: A set is Lindelöf iff every open cover has a countable subcover.
Implementation details #
- This API is mainly based on the API for IsCompact and follows notation and style as much as possible.
A set s is Lindelöf if every nontrivial filter f with the countable intersection
property that contains s, has a clusterpoint in s. The filter-free definition is given by
isLindelof_iff_countable_subcover.
Equations
- IsLindelof s = ∀ ⦃f : Filter X⦄ [f.NeBot] [CountableInterFilter f], f ≤ Filter.principal s → ∃ x ∈ s, ClusterPt x f
Instances For
The complement to a Lindelöf set belongs to a filter f with the countable intersection
property if it belongs to each filter 𝓝 x ⊓ f, x ∈ s.
The complement to a Lindelöf set belongs to a filter f with the countable intersection
property if each x ∈ s has a neighborhood t within s such that tᶜ belongs to f.
If p : Set X → Prop is stable under restriction and union, and each point x
of a Lindelöf set s has a neighborhood t within s such that p t, then p s holds.
The intersection of a Lindelöf set and a closed set is a Lindelöf set.
The intersection of a closed set and a Lindelöf set is a Lindelöf set.
The set difference of a Lindelöf set and an open set is a Lindelöf set.
A closed subset of a Lindelöf set is a Lindelöf set.
A continuous image of a Lindelöf set is a Lindelöf set.
A continuous image of a Lindelöf set is a Lindelöf set within the codomain.
A filter with the countable intersection property that is finer than the principal filter on
a Lindelöf set s contains any open set that contains all clusterpoints of s.
For every open cover of a Lindelöf set, there exists a countable subcover.
For every nonempty open cover of a Lindelöf set, there exists a subcover indexed by ℕ.
The neighborhood filter of a Lindelöf set is disjoint with a filter l with the countable
intersection property if and only if the neighborhood filter of each point of this set
is disjoint with l.
A filter l with the countable intersection property is disjoint with the neighborhood
filter of a Lindelöf set if and only if it is disjoint with the neighborhood filter of each point
of this set.
For every family of closed sets whose intersection avoids a Lindelöf set, there exists a countable subfamily whose intersection avoids this Lindelöf set.
To show that a Lindelöf set intersects the intersection of a family of closed sets, it is sufficient to show that it intersects every countable subfamily.
For every open cover of a Lindelöf set, there exists a countable subcover.
A set s is Lindelöf if for every open cover of s, there exists a countable subcover.
A set s is Lindelöf if for every family of closed sets whose intersection avoids s,
there exists a countable subfamily whose intersection avoids s.
A set s is Lindelöf if and only if
for every open cover of s, there exists a countable subcover.
A set s is Lindelöf if and only if
for every family of closed sets whose intersection avoids s,
there exists a countable subfamily whose intersection avoids s.
The empty set is a Lindelof set.
A singleton set is a Lindelof set.
If X has a basis consisting of compact opens, then an open set in X is compact open iff
it is a finite union of some elements in the basis
Filter.coLindelof is the filter generated by complements to Lindelöf sets.

Filter.coclosedLindelof is the filter generated by complements to closed Lindelof sets.

Instances
A compact set s is Lindelöf.
A σ-compact set s is Lindelöf

Instances
The comap of the coLindelöf filter on Y by a continuous function f : X → Y is less than or
equal to the coLindelöf filter on X.
This is a reformulation of the fact that images of Lindelöf sets are Lindelöf.
If f : X → Y is an inducing map, the image f '' s of a set s is Lindelöf
if and only if s is compact.
If f : X → Y is an embedding, the image f '' s of a set s is Lindelöf
if and only if s is Lindelöf.
The preimage of a Lindelöf set under an inducing map is a Lindelöf set.
The preimage of a Lindelöf set under a closed embedding is a Lindelöf set.
A closed embedding is proper, i.e., inverse images of Lindelöf sets are contained in Lindelöf.
Moreover, the preimage of a Lindelöf set is Lindelöf, see
Topology.IsClosedEmbedding.isLindelof_preimage.
Sets of subtype are Lindelöf iff the image under a coercion is.
Countable topological spaces are Lindelof.
The disjoint union of two Lindelöf spaces is Lindelöf.
A continuous image of a Lindelöf set is a Lindelöf set within the codomain.
A set s is Hereditarily Lindelöf if every subset is a Lindelof set. We require this only
for open sets in the definition, and then conclude that this holds for all sets by ADD.
