Subspace Topology

The subspace topology on a subset A of a topological space consists of the intersections of A with open sets; a subset of A is open in it exactly when it is such an intersection.

Statement

In the setting of Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation, let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space and let AA be a subset of XX.

The subspace topology on AA is

TA={W∈P(A):W=A∩U for some U∈T},\mathcal{T}_{A}=\{W\in\mathcal{P}(A):W=A\cap U\text{ for some }U\in\mathcal{T}\},

a topology on AA by The Subspace Topology is a Topology (i); thus (A,TA)(A,\mathcal{T}_{A}) is a topological space.

A subset WW of AA is open in (A,TA)(A,\mathcal{T}_{A}) if and only if W=A∩UW=A\cap U for some U∈TU\in\mathcal{T}.
