neighborhood system on a set


In point-set topology, a neighborhood system is defined as the set of neighborhoodsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of some point in the topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath.

However, one can start out with the definition of a “abstract neighborhood system” 𝔑 on an arbitrary set X and define a topologyMathworldPlanetmath T on X based on this system 𝔑 so that 𝔑 is the neighborhood system of T. This is done as follows:

Let X be a set and 𝔑 be a subset of X×P(X), where P(X) is the power setMathworldPlanetmath of X. Then 𝔑 is said to be a abstract neighborhood system of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. 1.

    if (x,U)𝔑, then xU,

  2. 2.

    for every xX, there is a UX such that (x,U)𝔑,

  3. 3.

    if (x,U)𝔑 and UVX, then (x,V)𝔑,

  4. 4.

    if (x,U),(x,V)𝔑, then (x,UV)𝔑,

  5. 5.

    if (x,U)𝔑, then there is a VX such that

    • (x,V)𝔑, and

    • (y,U)𝔑 for all yV.

In additionPlanetmathPlanetmath, given this 𝔑, define the abstract neighborhood system around xX to be the subset 𝔑x of 𝔑 consisting of all those elements whose first coordinate is x. Evidently, 𝔑 is the disjoint unionMathworldPlanetmath of 𝔑x for all xX. Finally, let

T={UXfor every xU(x,U)𝔑}
={UXfor every xU, there is a VU, such that (x,V)𝔑}.

The two definitions are the same by condition 3. We assert that T defined above is a topology on X. Furthermore, Tx:={U(x,U)𝔑x} is the set of neighborhoods of x under T.

Proof.

We first show that T is a topology. For every xX, some UX, we have (x,U)𝔑 by condition 2. Hence (x,X)𝔑 by condition 3. So XT. Also, T is vacuously satisfied, for no x. If U,VT, then UVT by condition 4. Let {Ui} be a subset of T whose elements are indexed by I (iI). Let U=Ui. Pick any xU, then xUi for some iI. Since UiT, (x,Ui)𝔑. Since UiU, (x,U)𝔑 by condition 3, so UT.

Next, suppose 𝒩 is the set of neighborhoods of x under T. We need to show 𝒩=Tx:

  1. 1.

    (𝒩Tx). If N𝒩, then there is UT with xUN. But (x,U)𝔑, so by condition 3, (x,N)𝔑, or (x,N)𝔑x, or NTx.

  2. 2.

    (Tx𝒩). Pick any UTx and set W={zUTz}. Then xWU by condition 1. We show W is open. This means we need to find, for each zW, a VW such that (z,V)𝔑. If zW, then (z,U)𝔑. By condition 5, there is V𝔑 such that (z,V)𝔑, and for any yV, (y,U)𝔑, or yU by condition 1. So yW by the definition of W, or VW. Thus W is open and U𝒩.

This completesPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath the proof. By the way, W defined above is none other than the interior of U: W=U.∎

Remark.Conversely, if T is a topology on X, we can define 𝔑x to be the set consisting of (x,U) such that U is a neighborhood of x. The the union 𝔑 of 𝔑x for each xX satisfies conditions 1 through 5 above:

  1. 1.

    (condition 1): clear

  2. 2.

    (condition 2): because (x,X)𝔑 for each xX

  3. 3.

    (condition 3): if U is a neighborhood of x and V a supserset of U, then V is also a neighborhood of x

  4. 4.

    (condition 4): if U and V are neighborhoods of x, there are open A,B with xAU and xBV, so xABUV, which means UV is a neighborhood of x

  5. 5.

    (condition 5): if U is a neighborhood of x, there is open A with xAU; clearly A is a neighborhood of x and any yA has U as neighborhood.

So the definition of a neighborhood system on an arbitrary set gives an alternative way of defining a topology on the set. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of topologies on a set and the set of abstract neighborhood systems on the set.
