Statement

Let (X,dX)(X,d_{X}) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_{Y}) be metric spaces. Equip XX with the collection TdX\mathcal{T}_{d_{X}} of all subsets that are open in (X,dX)(X,d_{X}), which is a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and equip YY with the corresponding collection TdY\mathcal{T}_{d_{Y}}. Write Bd(x,r)B_{d}(x,r) for the open ball with centre xx and radius rr, and for a subset AA of XX write Φ(A)={Φ(v):vA}\Phi(A)=\{\Phi(v):v\in A\}.

Let Φ:XY\Phi:X\to Y be a bijection that preserves distances, that is,

dY(Φ(u),Φ(v))=dX(u,v)for all u,vX.d_{Y}(\Phi(u),\Phi(v))=d_{X}(u,v)\qquad\text{for all }u,v\in X .

Then the following hold.

1. (Balls correspond) For every xXx\in X and every real number r>0r>0,

Φ(BdX(x,r))=BdY(Φ(x),r).\Phi\bigl(B_{d_{X}}(x,r)\bigr)=B_{d_{Y}}\bigl(\Phi(x),r\bigr).

2. (Homeomorphism) Both Φ\Phi and its inverse Φ1:YX\Phi^{-1}:Y\to X are continuous.

3. (Compactness) For every AXA\subseteq X: the set AA is compact in XX if and only if Φ(A)\Phi(A) is compact in YY.
