Course objectives
The course presents one of basic disciplines of modern mathematics. It naturally follows the well-known concepts of a metric space and a continuous function. Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to master the notions of topological and uniform space; to understand basic properties of topological spaces, in particular separability, connectedness and compactness; to learn about the behaviour of continuous real-valued functions on topological spaces; to familiarize with a proof of Brouwer's fix-point theorem and with homotopy theory, including the use of fundamental groups to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra.
Syllabus
  • 1. Topological spaces: definition, examples
  • 2. Continuity: continuous maps, homeomorphisms
  • 3. Basic topological constructions: subspaces, quotient spaces, products, sums
  • 4. Separation axioms: T0-spaces, T1-spaces, Hausdorff spaces, regular spaces, normal spaces
  • 5. Real-valued functions: completely regular spaces, Urysohn's lemma, Tietze's theorem
  • 6. Compact spaces: compactness, basic properties, Tychonoff's theorem
  • 7. Compactification: locally compact spaces, one-point compactification, Čech-Stone compactification
  • 8. Connectedness: connected spaces, components, product of connected spaces, arcwise connected spaces, locally connected spaces, continua, 0-dimensional spaces
  • 9. Uniform spaces: definition, basic properties, uniformly continuous maps, compact uniform spaces, metrizability, uniformizability
  • 10. Homotopy: definition, basic properties, simply connected spaces, fundamental group, Brouwer's theorem in dimension 2, fundamental theorem of algebra
