A set is discrete in a larger topological space if every point has a neighborhood such that . That is, T discrete is the collection of all subsets of X. $\begingroup$ @user170039 - So, is it possible then to have a discrete topology on the set of all real numbers? Perhaps the most important infinite discrete group is the additive group â¤ of the integers (the infinite cyclic group). Another example of an infinite discrete set is the set . 5.1. Consider the real numbers R first as just a set with no structure. Then consider it as a topological space R* with the usual topology. discrete:= P(X). Typically, a discrete set is either finite or countably infinite. Compact Spaces 21 12. In mathematics, a discrete subgroup of a topological group G is a subgroup H such that there is an open cover of G in which every open subset contains exactly one element of H; in other words, the subspace topology of H in G is the discrete topology.For example, the integers, Z, form a discrete subgroup of the reals, R (with the standard metric topology), but the rational numbers, Q, do not. For example, the set of integers is discrete on the real line. Then T indiscrete is called the indiscrete topology on X, or sometimes the trivial topology on X. Quotient Topology â¦ If $\tau$ is the discrete topology on the real numbers, find the closure of $(a,b)$ Here is the solution from the back of my book: Since the discrete topology contains all subsets of $\Bbb{R}$, every subset of $\Bbb{R}$ is both open and closed.

Then T discrete is called the discrete topology on X. The intersection of the set of even integers and the set of prime integers is {2}, the set that contains the single number 2. The real number line $\mathbf R$ is the archetype of a continuum.
