In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subspace of a topological space X is a subset S of X which is equipped with a topology induced from that of X called the subspace topology (or the relative topology, or the induced topology, or the trace topology).

Definition

Given a topological space $(X,\tau )$ and a subset $S$ of $X$, the subspace topology on $S$ is defined by

$\tau _{S}=\lbrace S\cap U\mid U\in \tau \rbrace .$

That is, a subset of $S$ is open in the subspace topology if and only if it is the intersection of $S$ with an open set in $(X,\tau )$. If $S$ is equipped with the subspace topology then it is a topological space in its own right, and is called a subspace of $(X,\tau )$. Subsets of topological spaces are usually assumed to be equipped with the subspace topology unless otherwise stated.

Alternatively we can define the subspace topology for a subset $S$ of $X$ as the coarsest topology for which the inclusion map

$\iota :S\hookrightarrow X$

is continuous.

More generally, suppose $i$ is an injection from a set $S$ to a topological space $X$. Then the subspace topology on $S$ is defined as the coarsest topology for which $i$ is continuous. The open sets in this topology are precisely the ones of the form $i^{-1}(U)$ for $U$ open in $X$. $S$ is then homeomorphic to its image in $X$ (also with the subspace topology) and $i$ is called a topological embedding.

Examples

In the following, R represents the real numbers with their usual topology.

• The subspace topology of the natural numbers, as a subspace of R, is the discrete topology.
• The rational numbers Q considered as a subspace of R do not have the discrete topology (the point 0 for example is not an open set in Q). If a and b are rational, then the intervals (a, b) and [a, b] are respectively open and closed, but if a and b are irrational, then the set of all x with $a<x<b$ is both open and closed.
• The set [0,1] as a subspace of R is both open and closed, whereas as a subset of R it is only closed.
• As a subspace of R, $[0,1]\cup [2,3]$ is composed of two disjoint open subsets (which happen also to be closed), and is therefore a disconnected space.
• Let S = [0,c) be a subspace of the real line R. Then [0,c/2) is open in S but not in R. Likewise [½, 1) is closed in S but not in R. S is both open and closed as a subset of itself but not as a subset of R.

Properties

The subspace topology has the following characteristic property. Let $Y$ be a subspace of $X$ and let $i:Y\to X$ be the inclusion map. Then for any topological space $Z$ a map $f:Z\to Y$ is continuous if and only if the composite map $i\circ f$ is continuous.

Characteristic property of the subspace topology

This property is characteristic in the sense that it can be used to define the subspace topology on $Y$.

We list some further properties of the subspace topology. In the following let $S$ be a subspace of $X$.

• If $f:X\to Y$ is continuous the restriction to $S$ is continuous.
• If $f:X\to Y$ is continuous then $f:X\to f(X)$ is continuous.
• The closed sets in $S$ are precisely the intersections of $S$ with closed sets in $X$.
• If $A$ is a subspace of $S$ then $A$ is also a subspace of $X$ with the same topology. In other words the subspace topology that $A$ inherits from $S$ is the same as the one it inherits from $X$.
• Suppose $S$ is an open subspace of $X$. Then a subspace of $S$ is open in $S$ if and only if it is open in $X$.
• Suppose $S$ is a closed subspace of $X$. Then a subspace of $S$ is closed in $S$ if and only if it is closed in $X$.
• If $B$ is a base for $X$ then $B_{S}=\{U\cap S:U\in B\}$ is a basis for $S$.
• The topology induced on a subset of a metric space by restricting the metric to this subset coincides with subspace topology for this subset.

Preservation of topological properties

If a topological space having some topological property implies its subspaces have that property, then we say the property is hereditary. If only closed subspaces must share the property we call it weakly hereditary.

• Every open and every closed subspace of a completely metrizable space is completely metrizable.
• Every open subspace of a Baire space is a Baire space.
• Every closed subspace of a compact space is compact.
• Being a Hausdorff space is hereditary.
• Being a normal space is weakly hereditary.
• Total boundedness is hereditary.
• Being totally disconnected is hereditary.
• First countability and second countability are hereditary.

  In case you are in search of an actual estate or Singapore property agent on-line, you simply should belief your intuition. It's because you do not know which agent is nice and which agent will not be. Carry out research on several brokers by looking out the internet.

Most of the time, a property agent is taken into account to be good if he or she locations the contact data on his website. This may mean that the agent does not mind you calling them and asking them any questions relating to new properties in singapore in Singapore. After chatting with them you too can see them in their office after taking an appointment.

  Once you place down the one per cent choice price to carry down a non-public property, it's important to accept its situation as it is whenever you move in – faulty air-con, choked rest room and all.

"There's a ultimate inspection of the property two days before the completion of all HDB transactions. If the air-con is defective, you can request the seller to repair it," says Kelvin.
