Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T_1\): \(\in \{\text{ the compact topological spaces }\}\)
\(T_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the Hausdorff topological spaces }\}\)
\(f\): \(: T_1 \to T_2\), \(\in \{\text{ the continuous maps }\} \cap \{\text{ the bijections }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(f \in \{\text{ the homeomorphisms }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: apply the proposition that any closed continuous bijection is a homeomorphism.

Step 1:

Let \(C \subseteq T_1\) be any closed subsets.

\(C\) is a compact subset, by the proposition that any closed subset of any compact topological space is compact.

\(f (C)\) is a compact subset, by the proposition that for any continuous map between any topological spaces, the image of any compact subset of the domain is a compact subset of the codomain.

\(f (C)\) is a closed subset, by the proposition that any compact subset of any Hausdorff topological space is closed.

So, \(f\) is a closed map.

So, by the proposition that any closed continuous bijection is a homeomorphism, \(f\) is a homeomorphism.
