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
