Using Alexander lemma to prove that if $X$ is continuum then the hyperspace $2^X$ is compact

194 Views Asked by At

So far in the books I've read all proofs involving Alexander Lemma to prove Tychonoff's theorem or in general any compact space they use Zorn Lemma argument. So I was wondering if is there any proof available to show that if $X$ is continuum then the hyperspace $2^X$ is compact by using Alexander Lemma.

$2^X=\{A\subseteq X : A \; \text{is closed and non empty }\}$ .

I assume you are using the Vietoris topology which has a subbase consisting of all sets $\{[U]: U \subseteq X \text{ open }\}$, where $$[U] = \{A \in 2^X: A \cap U \neq \emptyset\}$$ and all sets of the form $\{\langle U \rangle: U \subseteq X \text{ open }\}$ with $$\langle U \rangle = \{A \in 2^X: A \subseteq U\}$$.

This is the subbase we use for Alexander's subbase lemma, and it shows that if $X$ is compact then $2^X$ is compact too:

Let $\{[U_i]: i \in I\} \cup \{\langle V_j \rangle: j \in J\}$ be a cover of $2^X$ by subbasic elements.

Consider $C:= X\setminus \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i$. If $C$ is empty, the sets $U_i$ cover $X$ and so finitely many of them cover $X$, say $U_{i_1}, \ldots, U_{i_n}$. Then if $A \in 2^X$, then $A$ is non-empty and contains some $x$ which must lie in some $U_{i_k}$ for $k \in \{1,\ldots,n\}$ and then $A \in [U_{i_k}]$ and so the sets $\{[U_{i_k}]: k=1, \ldots,n\}$ form a finite subcover of the subbasic cover and we're done.

So we're left with the case that $C \neq \emptyset$ and so $C \in 2^X$ and by definition it misses all $U_i$ so is covered by some $\langle V_{j_0} \rangle$ instead. We then cover $X\setminus V_{j_0}$ by finitely many $U_{i_1}, \ldots U_{i_n}$ and similarly to above show that $$\{[U_{i_k}]: k=1, \ldots,n\} \cup \{\langle V_{j_0} \rangle\}$$ is a finite sucover of the subbasic cover.


Another standard application of the subbase lemma is for ordered spaces $X$ in the order topology to see that they are compact iff every subset of $X$ has a supremum. I do that proof here, e.g. So hyperspaces, ordered spaces and Tychonoff are easily shown compact using Alexander's subbase lemma.
