Talk:Comparison of topologies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should we glue it with Weak topology?

I think it is more useful to keep weak topology separate.

[edit] Article move and rewrite

Hasn't the rewrite made this harder to understand, for non-experts? Charles Matthews 14:02, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Probably. On a another note: I was thinking that lattice of topologies would be a better name for this page. Comparison of topologies is a little vague. No one is going to search for comparison of topologies, whereas lattice of topologies can be found in the index of numerous topology books. I meant to move it awhile ago (when it was still at finer topology), but forgot. -- Fropuff 14:06, 2005 Apr 30 (UTC)

Hmmm - maybe a fresh page for that? Plenty of people need the 'finer'/'coarser' concepts. I can't say I have ever worried about the whole lattice of topologies; it's getting pretty abstract by that stage? Charles Matthews 14:41, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My main aim (besides moving the article to Comparison of topologies) was to use the subset inclusion symbol () which I find very intuitive in this context, but my explanation was too brief. I had a second try. What do you think now ?

I copied the name comparison of topologies from the English translation of Bourbaki's topology book. Lattice of topologies is definitely better but perhaps a bit too abstract.MathMartin 14:44, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

By the way, the big Soviet encyclopedia calls this Comparison of topologies too. Charles Matthews 10:57, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] edited "Properties"

I switched "tau 1" and "tau 2" in the "Properties" section. Please verify that it is correct.

I was ecstatic when I found these mathematics pages. Thanks a million!

Your edit made the statement correct. Thanks for fixing. MathMartin 07:23, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
