Definition:Topology Generated by Synthetic Basis

Definition

Let $S$ be a set.

Let $\BB$ be a synthetic basis of $S$.

Definition 1

The topology on $S$ generated by $\BB$ is defined as:

$\tau = \set{\bigcup \AA: \AA \subseteq \BB}$

That is, the set of all unions of sets from $\BB$.

Definition 2

The topology on $S$ generated by $\BB$ is defined as:

$\tau = \set {U \subseteq S: U = \bigcup \set {B \in \BB: B \subseteq U}}$

Definition 3

The topology on $S$ generated by $\BB$ is defined as:

$\tau = \set {U \subseteq S: \forall x \in U: \exists B \in \BB: x \in B \subseteq U}$
