Basic statements
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings
locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact
Theorems
Analysis Theorems
A topological space/simplicial set/homotopy type/infinity-groupoid is nilpotent if
its fundamental group is a nilpotent group
the canonical action of on all the higher homotopy groups is nilpotent.
The first condition means that is isomorphic to an iterated central extension of abelian groups.
The second condition means that each admits a sequence of subgroups
such that for all
is a normal subgroup;
the quotient is an abelian group;
each is closed under the action of ;
the induced action on is trivial.
This implies that given any element , then after acting on it at most times with elements from the result is zero.
Nilpotency is involved in sufficient conditions for many important constructions in (stable) homotopy theory, see for instance at
