Are spaces shaped like the digits 0, 8 and 9 homeomorphic topological spaces?












2















Consider the topological spaces shaped like the numerals "0", "8" and "9" in $mathbb{R}^{2}$. Are they homeomorphic?




I have an approach that doesnt look very rigorous to me. I wanted to know how to formalize this if its correct.




  • 0 and 8 are not homeomorphic since excluding one point of 0 the space is still connected, but excluding the "tangent point" of 8, we have a disconnected space.


  • Same idea for 8 and 9.


  • The space 9 is union of one circle and one arc. The arc is homeomorphic to the circle, so we can view 9 as a union of two circles, then 8 and 9 are homeomorphic



PS: the topology of the spaces is induced by topology of $mathbb{R}^{2}$.

    "The arc is homeomorphic to the circle." No, it isn't. An arc is disconnected by removing a point; a circle isn't.

8














$0$ has no cut points.
$8$ has exactly one cut point.
$9$ has infinitely many cutpoints.



To show there are no homeomorphisms among $0,8,9$ use the exercise.




Exercise. Prove if $f:Xto Y$ is homeomorphism and $p$ cutpoint of $X$, then $f(p)$ is cutpoint of $Y$. Also show an arc is not homeomorphic to a circle.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
