Compact topological spaces

Abbreviation: KTop

Definition

A compact topological space is a topological space $\mathbf{X}=\langle X,\Omega\rangle$ that is

compact: every open cover has a finite subcover, i.e., $\forall\mathcal C\subseteq\Omega(\bigcup\mathcal C=X\Longrightarrow\exists n, \exists C_0,\ldots,C_{n-1}\in\mathcal C(C_0\cup\cdots\cup C_{n-1}=X))$

Remark: This is a template. If you know something about this class, click on the Edit text of this page'' link at the bottom and fill out this page.

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.

Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$ be compact topological spaces. A morphism from $\mathbf{X}$ to $\mathbf{Y}$ is a function $h:X\rightarrow Y$ that is a continuous: $\forall V\in\Omega_{\mathbf Y}(h^{-1}[Y]\in\Omega_{\mathbf X})$

Definition
