The identity theorem states that if two holomorphic functions on a connected open set $\mathcal{D}$ agree on a subset having an accumulation point in $\mathcal{D}$, then they agree throughout $\mathcal{D}$. In particular, agreement on any nonempty open subset is sufficient.

An $m$ by $n$ matrix has matrix rank $m$ exactly when at least one of its $m$ by $m$ minors has nonzero determinant. For each multi-index $I$, the setis open in the vector space of all real $m$ by $n$ matrices, because the determinant is continuous. Their union is $X_{m,n}$, so $X_{m,n}$ is itself open in ${\mathbb{R}}^{mn}$. It therefore inherits the standard smooth manifold structure and has dimension $mn$. This is the full-row-rank matrix manifold.

Suppose first that $X$ is connected and $f:X\to \mathbb{Z}$ is continuous. Its image is connected by the continuous image of a connected space, but $\mathbb{Z}$ is discrete, so its only connected nonempty subsets are singletons. Hence $f$ is constant.

Conversely, if $X=U\cup V$ is a disconnection into nonempty disjoint open sets, the function equal to zero on $U$ and one on $V$ is continuous and nonconstant. This proves the integer-valued function criterion for connectedness.

Now let $f:X\to \mathbb{Z}$ be continuous under the hypotheses on the family $\mathcal{A}$. Each restriction $f{|}_A$ is constant because $A$ is connected. If $A,B\in \mathcal{A}$, a point of $A\cap B$ shows that their two constants agree. Since the sets cover $X$, $f$ is constant on $X$, and the criterion proves that $X$ is connected. This is the pairwise-intersecting connected cover argument.

Finally, fix $y_0\in Y$. For each $x\in X$, the setis connected: its two connected pieces meet at $(x,y_0)$. The sets $A_x$ cover $X\times Y$ and any two share $X\times \{y_0\}$. The preceding result proves that $X\times Y$ is connected, giving the product of connected spaces result.

Differentiate the affine relation with respect to $x$ and $y$:Using the Cauchy-Riemann equations, the second equation becomesThusThe determinant is $-(a^2+b^2)\ne 0$, so $u_x=v_x=0$ and therefore $f^{\prime }=0$. A holomorphic function with zero derivative on a connected open set is constant. Hence $f$ is constant, as in analytic function with image in an affine real line.

A topological space is compact if every open cover has a finite subcover. It is Hausdorff if every pair of distinct points has disjoint open neighbourhoods.

Let $Y$ be closed in compact $X$, and let $\{U_i\}$ be an open cover of $Y$ by sets open in $X$. Adding the open set $X\setminus Y$ gives a cover of $X$, which has a finite subcover. Removing $X\setminus Y$ leaves a finite subcover of $Y$. Thus every closed subspace of a compact space is compact.

Now let $A,B$ be disjoint closed subsets of a compact Hausdorff space. They are compact. For each $a\in A$ and $b\in B$, choose disjoint open sets $U_{a,b}\ni a$ and $V_{a,b}\ni b$. Fixing $a$, finitely many $V_{a,b_j}$ cover $B$. PutThen $U_a$ contains $a$, $V_a$ contains $B$, and they are disjoint. Finitely many $U_{a_i}$ cover $A$. Thereforeare disjoint open neighbourhoods of $A$ and $B$. This proves the normality of a compact Hausdorff space.

Let $X$ be compact Hausdorff, let $x\in X$, and let $U$ be a neighbourhood of $x$. Choose an open $O$ with $x\in O\subseteq U$. Apply the separation result from part (a) to the disjoint closed sets $\{x\}$ and $X\setminus O$. There is an open $V\ni x$ whose closure lies in $O$. Thenis compact, contains the neighbourhood $V$ of $x$, and lies in $U$. Thus $X$ is locally compact.

Conversely, suppose $X$ is locally compact Hausdorff and $A\cap K$ is closed in every compact $K\subseteq X$. For $x\notin A$, choose a compact neighbourhood $K$ of $x$ and an open set $U$ withSince $A\cap K$ is closed in $K$, there is an open set $W\subseteq X$ such thatThen $U\cap W$ is an open neighbourhood of $x$ disjoint from $A$. Thus $X\setminus A$ is open andThis is the compactly detected closed-set theorem in a locally compact Hausdorff space.

The inequalities implyThus the two metrics induce the same open sets and are equivalent.

The converse fails. On $\mathbb{R}$, letThe metrics are equivalent because $\arctan :\mathbb{R}\to (-\pi /2,\pi /2)$ is a homeomorphism, butso no positive lower comparison constant exists. This is an equivalent metrics need not be bi-Lipschitz equivalent example.

Equivalent metrics on the codomain also need not give the same uniform convergence. Take $X=\mathbb{N}$, $Y=\mathbb{R}$, and use the two metrics above. DefineThenso $f_n\to f$ uniformly for $d_2$, whereasso convergence is not uniform for $d_1$. This is the equivalent codomain metrics need not preserve uniform convergence phenomenon.

A covering space is a map $p:\tilde{X}\to X$ such that every $x\in X$ has an open neighbourhood $U$ for whichand every restriction $p:U_{\alpha }\to U$ is a homeomorphism.

For path lifting, cover the compact image of $\gamma$ by evenly covered sets. The Lebesgue number lemma supplies a subdivisionfor which each $\gamma ([t_{j-1},t_j])$ lies in one such set. Starting in the sheet containing ${\tilde{x}}_0$, lift the first segment with the inverse of that sheet. Its endpoint selects the sheet for the next segment, and induction constructs a continuous lift. Two lifts starting at the same point agree on the first segment because the relevant sheet map is injective, and the same argument at successive endpoints proves uniqueness.

Write $q:Y\to Y/\varphi$ for the quotient map. The identity $p\circ Q=q\circ {\mathrm{pr}}_Y$ on $Y\times \mathbb{Z}$, where $Q$ is the quotient defining $\widetilde{Y/\varphi }$, proves continuity of $p$ by the quotient property. Away from the two gluing regions, a small open set lifts to one copy in every level. Near a glued point choose $U⋐A$ and use the matched pairAfter the prescribed identifications, each such pair maps homeomorphically to $q(U\cup \varphi (U))$, and the pairs are disjoint for different $i$. Thus $p$ is a covering map.

Each copy of $Y$ is path-connected, and adjacent copies meet through the identified copies of the nonempty set $A$, so $\widetilde{Y/\varphi }$ is path-connected. Translationis a deck transformation. Its powers act freely and transitively on every fibre, so the covering is regular. The covering-space subgroup and deck-group quotient then gives

A nonempty topological space is irreducible when it is not the union of two proper closed subsets, equivalently when any two nonempty open subsets intersect.

The Zariski topology on ${\mathbb{A}}^n$ is Noetherian because $k[x_1,\dots ,x_n]$ satisfies the ascending chain condition on ideals. Suppose a closed set $X$ that is not a finite union of irreducible closed sets were minimal among such counterexamples. It is reducible, say $X=X_1\cup X_2$ with both $X_i$ proper closed subsets. Minimality expresses each $X_i$ as a finite union of irreducible closed sets, and combining those decompositions contradicts the choice of $X$. Thus every closed $X$ has a finite irreducible decomposition.

Using $x_3=x_2^2$, the second defining polynomial reduces toConsequentlyEach component is the image of $t\mapsto (\pm t,t,t^2)$ and is isomorphic to ${\mathbb{A}}^1$, hence irreducible. In characteristic two the two displayed components coincide.

Suppose a polynomial $P(x,y)={\sum }_{j=0}^m{p}_j(x)y^j$ vanishes on every $(x,e^x)$. Thenas an entire function. These exponential-polynomial functions are linearly independent: applying $(D-m{)}^{\mathrm{deg}{p}_m+1}$ kills the term with largest exponent, while it acts injectively on $p_j(x)e^{jx}$ for $j<m$; induction on the number of terms finishes the proof. Hence every $p_j$ is zero, so no nonzero polynomial vanishes on the graph. Its Zariski closure is all of ${\mathbb{A}}^2$.

Finally refine an open cover of an affine variety $X$ by distinguished opens $D(f_j)$, choosing one inside an original member around each point. Since these distinguished opens cover,The Hilbert Nullstellensatz implies that the $f_j$ generate the unit ideal. Thusfor finitely many of them, so $D(f_{j_1}),\dots ,D(f_{j_r})$ cover $X$. The corresponding original open sets form a finite subcover. This is quasi-compactness of an affine variety.

The Seifert-van Kampen theorem says that if $X=U\cup V$, where $U,V,U\cap V$ are path connected open sets containing $x_0$, then

The cell attachment is the quotientwith the image of $x_0=f(\ast )$ as base point. For $n=2$, take one open set that deformation retracts onto $X$ together with a boundary collar, and another that consists of the interior of the disc with a collar and is contractible. Their intersection deformation retracts onto $S^1$. Its generator maps to $[f]$ in the first set and to the identity in the second. Van Kampen therefore proves the fundamental group after attaching a 2-cell formula

Applying van Kampen to the two circles givesAttach three discs along loops representing $a^2$, $b^3$, and $(ab{)}^2$. The resulting presentation complex for the symmetric group on three letters has groupSending $a$ to $(12)$ and $b$ to $(123)$ gives a surjection onto $S_3$. The relations imply $aba=b^{-1}$, so every word reduces to one ofThe presented group has at most six elements and surjects onto the six-element group $S_3$, so this map is an isomorphism.

The Baire category theorem states that a complete metric space is not a countable union of closed sets with empty interior. To prove it, let $G_1,G_2,\dots$ be open dense sets and start with any nonempty open set $V$. Inductively choose closed ballswith the first ball inside $V\cap G_1$. The centres are Cauchy. Completeness supplies a limit lying in every ball, hence in $V\cap {\bigcap }_n{G}_n$. Thus the intersection is dense, which is the equivalent form of the theorem.

Now each $nS$ is closed and ${\bigcup }_{n\ge 1}nS=X$. Baire givesfor some $x,r,n$. Symmetry gives $B(-x,r)\subset nS$. If $\Vert z\Vert <r$, then $x+z$ and $-x+z$ lie in these two balls; convexity makes their midpoint $z$ belong to $nS$. Hencewhich proves the closed convex absorbing set has an origin neighbourhood result.

Convexity cannot be dropped. In $X=\mathbb{R}$, setThis is closed and symmetric but has gaps arbitrarily close to zero. For any $x\ne 0$, choose $k$ so that the intervalhas length at least one, and choose an integer $n$ in it. Then $x/n\in S$, so ${\bigcup }_{n}nS=\mathbb{R}$, while $S$ is not a neighbourhood of zero. This is a closed symmetric absorbing set without an origin neighbourhood.

The product $S(z)=f(z)f(1-z)$ is entire. From $f(z+1)=zf(z)$ and $f(1-z)=-zf(-z)$,Its modulus is therefore periodic with period one. The assumed bound for $f$ on $0\le \mathrm{Re}z\le 1$, together with the reflected bound for $f(1-z)$, bounds $S$ on that strip and hence on all of $\mathbb{C}$. By Liouville's theorem $S$ is constant, while $S(z+1)=-S(z)$ forces that constant to be zero.

If $f$ were nonzero at one point, it would be nonzero on a neighborhood, so $f(1-z)=0$ on an open set; the identity theorem would then give $f\equiv 0$, a contradiction to that choice. Therefore $f\equiv 0$ and $F=\Gamma$.

A neighbourhood of $x$ contains an open set containing $x$; $x_n\to x$ when every neighbourhood eventually contains every $x_n$. If two metrics have the same topology they plainly have the same convergent sequences. Conversely, if a $d$-open set $U$ were not $d\prime$-open, some $x\in U$ would have points $x_n\notin U$ with $d\prime (x_n,x)<1/n$; the common-sequence assumption would imply $d(x_n,x)\to 0$, contradicting $d$-openness. Symmetry finishes the proof. This fails generally: on an uncountable set the discrete and cocountable topologies differ, but in both every convergent sequence is eventually constant.

If $\Vert Tx\Vert \ge \delta \Vert x\Vert$ and $\Vert S-T\Vert <\delta$, then
$\Vert Sx\Vert \ge (\delta -\Vert S-T\Vert )\Vert x\Vert$. Thus bounded-below maps form an open set.

A subset is dense when every nonempty open set meets it, equivalently its closure is the whole space. Baire category theorem says a complete metric space has dense intersection for every countable family of open dense sets. Hereso Baire makes $S$ dense. It need not be open: enumerate the rationals $q_j$ and take $A_j=[0,1]\setminus \{q_1,\dots ,q_j\}$, giving the irrationals. Nor need ${\cap }_j{A}_j$ be nonempty: take $A_1=\varnothing$ and $A_j=[0,1]$ for $j\ge 2$.

A homeomorphic embedding of a metric space induces a homeomorphic embedding of its probability measures for their weak topologies. The inverse continuity follows from the open-set Portmanteau theorem, since every relatively open set is the trace of an ambient open set. This does not give surjectivity onto $P(Z)$ when points of $Z$ are outside the embedded image.
