Statement

Let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space.

We say that XX is compact if for every set AA and every family of subsets of XX (Ua)aA(U_a)_{a\in A} such that UaTU_a\in\mathcal{T} for every aAa\in A and

XaAUa,X\subseteq \bigcup_{a\in A} U_a,

there exist a natural number nNn\in\mathbb{N} and elements a1,,anAa_1,\dots,a_n\in A such that

XUa1Uan.X\subseteq U_{a_1}\cup\cdots\cup U_{a_n}.

If AXA\subseteq X, we say that AA is compact in XX if AA is compact as a topological space equipped with the subspace topology.
