Topology with only one open proper set

204 Views Asked by At

What is the name of the Topologies that contains only one proper open set? That is if X<>{ } and T={{ }, O,X} ,where O ⊂ X ..I looking for a terminology that represent this topology in general.For me I call them Non-Trivial minimal Topologies .But this is not scientific terminology? please I f there an answer must be supported by a reference ?

An infraspace is a topology such that the only topology strictly coarser than it is the trivial topology. Every infraspace topology has on $E$ the form $\{E,A,\emptyset\}$ where $A \subset E$$A \neq \emptyset$, $A \neq E$.

THE LATTICE OF TOPOLOGIES

This paper first(?) called them infraspaces, same definition. It predates the above paper by 9 years, which makes sense, as the RMJM paper is a survey of earlier results.

So "infraspaces" seems to be sort of accepted, though not widely known, really, as the lattice of topologies is not a very popular subject.
