which of the following are compact..?

85 Views Asked by At

Consider the partial order in $\mathbb{R^2}$ given by the relation $(x_1,y_1) < (x_2,y_2)$ Either if $x_1 <x_2$ or if $x_1=x_2$ and $y_1 < y_2$ then in the order topology on $\mathbb{R}^2$ defined by the above order

choose the coorect statement

a) $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ is compact but $[0,1] \times[0,1]$ is not compact

b) $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ is compact but $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ is not compact

c) both $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ and $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ are compacts

d)both $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ and $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ are not compacts

My attempt : i got answer option $c)$

i was try visulalize the diagram i got option c that is both $[0,1] \times [0,1]$ and $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ are compacts, both are closed and boundedenter image description here

Edit : according to henno sirenter image description here

Is my logic is right or wrong pliz verified

Any hints/solution will be appreciated

thanks u

$[0,1] \times [0,1]$ fulfills the definition of a linear continuum (Munkres' style) so is compact (every subset has a supremum) but $[0,1] \times \{1\}$ is not compact. So b) is in fact correct.

$[0,1] \times \{1\}$ is homeomorphic to $[0,1]$ as a subset of the lower limit topology (using $(x,1) \to x$) and this is not compact as $1-\frac1n$ is a sequence without a cluster point, and it's a first countable space. Or use the cover $[0,x)$, $x < 1$ with $\{1\}$ that has no finite subcover.
