Why set of integer under indiscrete topology is compact?
After looking this question I got surprised as In rudin I read in chapter 2 that compact space is independent of metric space chosen.
As metric space is special case of topology above should hold.
But where is I am making mistake .How to show that above is compact?
Any Help will be appreciated
Compactness is independent of the metric chosen among those that define the same topology (commonly termed equivalent metrics).
For instance, the closed interval $[0,1]$ is compact in the topology induced by the usual metric and all equivalent metrics. It is not compact under the discrete metric $\delta(x,y)=1$ if $x\ne y$ and $\delta(x,x)=0$: this metric induces a different topology, namely the discrete topology.
Any set endowed with the indiscrete topology is compact (for lack of infinite open covers), so this says nothing about compactness under different topologies.
