Hello, I consider the groups of rotations R=SO(2) and the group T of translations on the 2D Cartesian plane. Let's define Ω as the group Ω=RT. Thus Ω is essentially SE(2), the special Euclidean group. It is known that R and T are respectively 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional Lie groups...

Hi there! Is the following true? Suppose A is an open set and not closed. Cl(A) is closed and contains A, hence it contains at least one point not in A. If A is both open and closed it obviously does not hold.

In Rudin we read ##diam \ \bar{S} = diam \ S##. And the ##2ε## trick is very clear. However I see how would this would work for an accumulation point of ##S## but what about an Isolated point of ##S## that is miles away from the set.

Hello, Let's have a group G and two subgroups A<G and B<G such that the intersection of A and B is trivial. I consider the subgroup \left\langle A^B \right\rangle which is called conjugate closure of A with respect to B, and it is the subgroup generated by the set: A^B=\{ b^{-1}ab \;|\; a\in...

This isn't really hw, just me being confused over some examples. I have 'learned' the basic definitions of neighborhood, limit point, closed, and closure but have some trouble accepting the following examples. 1. For Q in R, Q is not closed. The set of all limit points of Q is R, so its...

First a little background. I'm about to start my third year of college as a physics major. I don't really date much (only one girl briefly in high school). This is mostly because I'm pretty shy and find it hard to approach women out of the blue. I've also been told I'm decently attractive, but...

I was wondering, is S a subset of S-bar its closure? For example, if p belongs to S, does p belong to S-bar too? Does it go the other way, S-bar is a subset of S? If it is true that S is a subset of S-bar does this automatically mean that S is closed? Thanks

Hi, I'm having a little trouble understand the idea of closure as so many places seem to describe it differently. I'm working on an example problem that states "L* is the closure of language L under which relations?" From what I gather, for a language to be closed over a relation, it means...
