In [[topology]], a branch of [[mathematics]], the '''ends''' of a [[topological space]] are, roughly speaking, the [[connected component (topology)|connected components]] of the “ideal boundary” of the space. That is, each end represents a topologically distinct way to move to [[infinity]] within the space. Adding a point at each end yields a [[Compactification (mathematics)|compactification]] of the original space, known as the '''end compactification'''. | |||
==Definition== | |||
Let ''X'' be a [[topological space]], and suppose that | |||
: ''K''<sub>1</sub> ⊂ ''K''<sub>2</sub> ⊂ ''K''<sub>3</sub> ⊂ · · · | |||
is an ascending sequence of [[compact subset]]s of ''X'' whose [[interior (topology)|interiors]] [[cover (topology)|cover]] ''X''. Then ''X'' has one '''end''' for every sequence | |||
: ''U''<sub>1</sub> ⊃ ''U''<sub>2</sub> ⊃ ''U''<sub>3</sub> ⊃ · · ·, | |||
where each ''U''<sub>''n''</sub> is a [[connected component (topology)|connected component]] of ''X'' \ ''K''<sub>''n''</sub>. The number of ends does not depend of the specific sequence {''K''<sub>''i''</sub>} of compact sets; in fact, there is a [[natural transformation|natural]] [[bijection]] between the sets of ends associated with any two such sequences. | |||
Using this definition, a '''neighborhood''' of an end {''U''<sub>''i''</sub>} is an open set ''V'' such that ''V'' ⊃ ''U''<sub>''n''</sub> for some ''n''. Such neighborhoods represent the neighborhoods of the corresponding point at infinity in the '''end compactification''' (this “compactification” isn’t always compact, the topological space ''X'' has to be connected and locally connected) | |||
The definition of ends given above applies only to spaces ''X'' that possess an [[exhaustion by compact sets]] (that is, ''X'' must be [[hemicompact space|hemicompact]]). However, it can be generalized as follows: let ''X'' be any topological space, and consider the [[direct system (mathematics)|direct system]] {''K''<sub>α</sub>} of compact subsets of ''X'' and [[inclusion map]]s. There is a corresponding [[inverse system]] { ''π''<sub>0</sub>( ''X'' \ ''K''<sub>α</sub> ) }, where ''π''<sub>0</sub>(''Y'') denotes the set of connected components of a space ''Y'', and each inclusion map ''Y'' → ''Z'' induces a function ''π''<sub>0</sub>(''Y'') → ''π''<sub>0</sub>(''Z''). Then '''set of ends''' of ''X'' is defined to be the [[inverse limit]] of this inverse system. Under this definition, the set of ends is a [[functor]] from the [[category of topological spaces]] to the [[category of sets]]. The original definition above represents the special case where the direct system of compact subsets has a [[cofinal sequence]]. | |||
==Examples== | |||
* The set of ends of any [[compact space]] is the [[empty set]]. | |||
* The [[real line]] <math>\scriptstyle \mathbb{R} </math> has two ends. For example, if we let ''K''<sub>''n''</sub> be the [[closed interval]] [−''n'', ''n''], then the two ends are the sequences of open sets ''U''<sub>''n''</sub> = (''n'', ∞) and ''V''<sub>''n''</sub> = (−∞, −''n''). These ends are usually referred to as “infinity” and “minus infinity”, respectively. | |||
* If ''n'' > 1, then the Euclidean space <math>\scriptstyle \mathbb{R}^n </math> has only one end. This is because <math>\scriptstyle \mathbb{R}^n \setminus K</math> has only one unbounded component for any compact set ''K''. | |||
* More generally, if ''M'' is a compact [[manifold with boundary]], then the number of ends of the interior of ''M'' is equal to the number of connected components of the boundary of ''M''. | |||
* The union of ''n'' distinct [[ray (mathematics)|rays]] emanating from the origin in <math>\scriptstyle \mathbb{R}^2 </math> has ''n'' ends. | |||
* The [[binary tree#Types of binary trees|infinite complete binary tree]] has uncountably many ends, corresponding to the uncountably many different descending paths starting at the root. (This can be seen by letting ''K''<sub>''n''</sub> be the complete binary tree of depth ''n''.) These ends can be thought of as the “leaves” of the infinite tree. In the end compactification, the set of ends has the topology of a [[Cantor set]]. | |||

In [[infinite graph|infinite]] [[graph theory]], an end is defined slightly differently, as an equivalence class of semi-infinite paths in the graph, or as a [[Haven (graph theory)|haven]], a function mapping finite sets of vertices to connected components of their complements.

In topology, a branch of mathematics, the ends of a topological space are, roughly speaking, the connected components of the “ideal boundary” of the space. That is, each end represents a topologically distinct way to move to infinity within the space. Adding a point at each end yields a compactification of the original space, known as the end compactification.
Definition
Let X be a topological space, and suppose that
- K1 ⊂ K2 ⊂ K3 ⊂ · · ·
is an ascending sequence of compact subsets of X whose interiors cover X. Then X has one end for every sequence
- U1 ⊃ U2 ⊃ U3 ⊃ · · ·,
where each Un is a connected component of X \ Kn. The number of ends does not depend of the specific sequence {Ki} of compact sets; in fact, there is a natural bijection between the sets of ends associated with any two such sequences.
Using this definition, a neighborhood of an end {Ui} is an open set V such that V ⊃ Un for some n. Such neighborhoods represent the neighborhoods of the corresponding point at infinity in the end compactification (this “compactification” isn’t always compact, the topological space X has to be connected and locally connected)
The definition of ends given above applies only to spaces X that possess an exhaustion by compact sets (that is, X must be hemicompact). However, it can be generalized as follows: let X be any topological space, and consider the direct system {Kα} of compact subsets of X and inclusion maps. There is a corresponding inverse system { π0( X \ Kα ) }, where π0(Y) denotes the set of connected components of a space Y, and each inclusion map Y → Z induces a function π0(Y) → π0(Z). Then set of ends of X is defined to be the inverse limit of this inverse system. Under this definition, the set of ends is a functor from the category of topological spaces to the category of sets. The original definition above represents the special case where the direct system of compact subsets has a cofinal sequence.
Examples
- The set of ends of any compact space is the empty set.
- The real line has two ends. For example, if we let Kn be the closed interval [−n, n], then the two ends are the sequences of open sets Un = (n, ∞) and Vn = (−∞, −n). These ends are usually referred to as “infinity” and “minus infinity”, respectively.
- If n > 1, then the Euclidean space has only one end. This is because has only one unbounded component for any compact set K.
- More generally, if M is a compact manifold with boundary, then the number of ends of the interior of M is equal to the number of connected components of the boundary of M.
- The union of n distinct rays emanating from the origin in has n ends.
- The infinite complete binary tree has uncountably many ends, corresponding to the uncountably many different descending paths starting at the root. (This can be seen by letting Kn be the complete binary tree of depth n.) These ends can be thought of as the “leaves” of the infinite tree. In the end compactification, the set of ends has the topology of a Cantor set.
History
The notion of an end of a topological space was introduced by Template:Harvs.
Ends of graphs and groups
Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. In infinite graph theory, an end is defined slightly differently, as an equivalence class of semi-infinite paths in the graph, or as a haven, a function mapping finite sets of vertices to connected components of their complements. However, for locally finite graphs (graphs in which each vertex has finite degree), the ends defined in this way correspond one-for-one with the ends of topological spaces defined from the graph Template:Harv.
The ends of a finitely generated group are defined to be the ends of the corresponding Cayley graph; this definition is insensitive to the choice of generating set. Every finitely-generated infinite group has either 1, 2, or infinitely many ends, and Stallings theorem about ends of groups provides a decomposition for groups with more than one end.
Ends of a CW complex
For a path connected CW-complex, the ends can be characterized as homotopy classes of proper maps , called rays in X: more precisely, if between the restriction -to the subset - of any two of these maps exists a proper homotopy we say that they are equivalent and they define an equivalence class of proper rays. This set is called an end of X.
