Example of Preimage of Subset under Mapping: $\map g {x, y} = \tuple {x^2 + y^2, x y}$

$2$: Continuity generalized: metric spaces: $2.3$: Open sets in metric spaces: Example $2.3.16 \ \text {(b)}$:

Let $g: \R^2 \to \R^2$ be given by $\map g {x, y} = \tuple {x^2 + y^2, x y}$. Then for example
\(\ds \qquad \ \ \) \(\ds S\) \(=\) \(\ds g^{-1} \set {\tuple {0, 2}, \tuple {0, 1} }\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \set {\tuple {x, y} \in \R^2: 0 < x^2 + y^2 < 2 \text { and } 0 < x y < 1}\)
We know from (a) that $\set {\tuple {x, y} \in \R^2: 0 < x y < 1}$ is the shaded region in Fig. 2.2. Also, $\set {\tuple {x, y} \in \R^2: 0 < x^2 + y^2 < 2}$ is the interior of a disc of radius $2$ with its centre removed. Hence $S$, the set of all $\tuple {x, y}$ satisfying both conditions, is the intersection of the shaded region with the outlined disc, not including any of the boundary curves or lines.


Letter $\mathsf L$ and Letter $\mathsf T$ are not Homeomorphic

$3$: Continuity generalized: topological spaces: $3.6$: Homeomorphisms: Examples $3.6.2 \ \text{(d)}$:

The letter $\mathsf L$ and the letter $\mathsf T$ (defined as in $\text{(c)}$) are not homeomorphic.
