Miranda book proof mistake page 41?

143 Views Asked by At

I am self studying from the book of Rick Miranda "Algebraic Curves and Riemann Surfaces."

On page 41, the end of proof of Proposition 3.12 finishes with the statement:

Discrete subsets of compact spaces are finite

However, this is generally not true, as this shows. So is the proof wrong, or have I failed to take in account something, like for example that we are working with Riemann surfaces?

If the proof is wrong, is there any way to fix it?
