nets and closures of subspaces


Theorem.

A point of a topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath is in the closureMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of a subspaceMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath if and only if there is a net of points of the subspace converging to the point.

Proof.

Let X be a topological space, x a point of X, and A a subspace of X.Suppose first that xA¯, and let 𝒰 be the collectionMathworldPlanetmath of neighborhoodsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of x, http://planetmath.org/node/123partially ordered by reverse . For each U𝒰, select a point xUUA (such a point is guaranteed to exist because xA¯); then (xU)U𝒰 is a net of points in A, and we claim that xUx. To see this, let V be a neighborhood of x in X, and note that, by construction, xVV; furthermore, if U𝒰 satisfies VU, then because xUU, xUV. It follows that xUx.Conversely, suppose there exists a net (xα)αJ of points of A converging to x, and let UX be a neighborhood of x. Since xαx, there exists βJ such that xαU whenever βα. Because xαA for each αJ by hypothesisMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath, we may conclude that UA, hence that xA¯.∎

The forward implicationMathworldPlanetmath of the preceding is a generalizationPlanetmathPlanetmath of the result that a point of a topological space is in the closure of a subspace if there is a sequence of points of the subspace converging to the point, as a sequence is just a net with the positive integers as its http://planetmath.org/node/360domain; however, the converse (if a point is in the closure of a subspace then there exists a sequence of points of the subspace converging to the point) requires the additional condition that the ambient topological space be first countable.
