Stream: Is there code for X?
Topic: discrete topology type alias
Johan Commelin (Aug 10 2021 at 08:14):
Do we have a type alias that endows a topological space with the discrete topology?
Patrick Massot (Aug 10 2021 at 08:43):
No.

@Johan Commelin (forget Profinite).obj
Adam Topaz (Aug 10 2021 at 12:53):
(I assume this is for the stone Cech thing, in which case you could just use ultrafilter
instead of stone_cech
)
Johan Commelin (Aug 10 2021 at 12:55):
That turns X
into a Type
, but it still doesn't get the discrete topology that way, right?
Adam Topaz (Aug 10 2021 at 12:56):
We have docs#Top.discrete too
Johan Commelin (Aug 10 2021 at 12:58):
Yes, I think that's useful.
Adam Topaz (Aug 10 2021 at 12:58):
If X : Profinite
then ultrafilter X
is the stone Cech compactififcation of the discrete set
Johan Commelin (Aug 10 2021 at 12:58):
Aha, and it comes equipped with all the topology stuff etc?
Johan Commelin (Aug 10 2021 at 12:59):
Let me try
Adam Topaz (Aug 10 2021 at 13:04):
I think it might be missing a totally disconnected instance, but all the other instances should be there
