Show the equality of two topologies

48 Views Asked by At

given are two sets. S:=$\{z \in C: |z| = 1\} \subset C$ and B:=$\{e^i\phi:\phi \in (\phi_o -\delta,\phi_o + \delta), \phi_o \in R, \delta\gt0\}$ which denotes a Basis for a topology $\mathcal T$. I have to show that $\mathcal T$ = $\{S \cap V:V\in \mathcal O\}$ with $\mathcal O$ being the standard topology in C. I know that i need to show that one set is a subset of the other one and vice versa and have visualized the two sets, but fail to set up an elegant proof. Any help? Thank you very much

Verify that sets of the form $\{re^{i\phi }: a<r<b,\phi_0 -\delta < \phi <\phi_0 +\delta \}$ form a basis for the standard topology of $\mathbb C$. You will then be able to complete the argument.
