Category talk:General topology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is not clear sometimes what should be subcat and what is supcat, I think for math it is reasonabe to assume, that all theorems of subcat should be in supcat. Sometimes it is bit contrintutive: metric geometry seems more special than general topology, but every theorem in gentop is a theorem in metric geometry, but not othere way arround Tosha 08:09, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think that's the wrong way of looking at it. The question should be, is a general topologist necessarily a student of metric geometry? And the answer is, of course not. This cat absolutely does not belong in Category:Metric geometry. --Trovatore 06:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subcategories

I saw that "Topological Vector Spaces" is a subcat. I thought why not "Topological Groups"? I searched for it - and found it in a perfectly logical place - In the "Toplogigcal Algebra" category. I argue that "Topological Vector Spaces" should not be a subcat here - or that "Topological Groups" (rings etc) should be subcats here as well.

Better yet: Make "Toplogigcal Algebra" a subcat here. YohanN7 (talk) 22:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
