On the relativization of chain topologies

verfasst von: Marcel Erné
Abstract: The intrinsic topology s_≤of a chain (X, ≤) induces on any subchain Y⊂X the relative topology s_≤Y. On the other hand, any such subchain Y is endowed with its own intrinsic topology s_≤y. We establish several necessary and sufficient conditions under which both topologies coincide, by suitably weakening the properties of convexity (Lemma 2), order-density (Theorem 3) and subcompleteness (Theorem 4), respectively. Another necessary and sufficient condition for the equation s_≤y = s_≤yformulated in terms of cuts, is given in Theorem 2. Besides other related results, we find a purely order-theoretical characterization of those subchains which are compact (Lemma 1) or connected (Corollary 2), respectively, in the intrinsic topology of the entire chain. As a simple consequence of Theorem 4, we obtain the wellknown result that the intrinsic topology of a chain can be obtained by relativization from the intrinsic topology of the normal completion (Corollary 9). We conclude with several applications to the Euclidean topology on R.
