Determine interior and boundary of $Atimes B$












1












$begingroup$


Let $(X,mathcal{O}_X)$ and $(Y,mathcal{O}_Y)$ be topological spaces and $A,B$ subset of $X,Y$ respectively. I have to find the interior $(Atimes B)^circ$ and the boundary $partial(Atimes B)$. Furthermore, it is that the open sets are given by the product topology on $Atimes B$.



This sounds pretty easy, nevertheless I am not quite sure what exactly I should show. The interior and boundary both depend on the topology itself. Is this context to general to actually "show" something?

    I suspect it wants you to find the interior and boundary in terms of the interiors and boundaries of $A$ and $B$ in their respective topologies.

    For instance, wouldn't it be nice if $(Atimes B)^circ=A^circtimes B^circ$ and $partial(Atimes B)=partial Atimespartial B$? Sadly, only one of these is true (which one?) The other requires some modification. But this is the kind of thing they're after.

    Draw a picture in the plane using open intervals for $A$ and $B$ to get an feel for the boundary case. Or search the site.

According to Exercise 2.3.B from [Eng], $(Atimes B)^circ=A^circtimes B^circ$ and $partial(Atimes B)=partial Atimes overline{B}cup overline{A}times partial B$. Prove this.



By Proposition 2.3.1 from [Eng], the set $A^circtimes B^circ$ is open, so $A^circtimes B^circsubset (Atimes B)^circ$. On the other hand, let $(x,y)in (Atimes B)^circ$ be any point. Then there exists an element $Utimes V$ of the canonical base at $Xtimes Y$ such that $(x,y)in Utimes Vsubset Atimes B$. Then $Usubset A$ and $Vsubset B$. Since $U$ and $V$ are open in $X$ and $Y$, respectively, we have $Usubset A^circ$ and $Vsubset B^circ$. Then $(x,y)in A^circtimes B^circ$.



By Proposition 2.3.3 from [Eng], $overline{Atimes B}=overline Atimes overline B$, so



$$partial(Atimes B)=$$ $$overline{Atimes B}setminus (Atimes B)^circ=$$
$$overline Atimes overline B setminus A^circtimes B^circ =$$ $$
((partial Acup A^circ)times (partial Bcup B^circ)) setminus A^circtimes B^circ=$$
$$partial Atimes partial Bcup partial Atimes B^circ cup A^circ times partial B=$$ $$(partial Atimes partial Bcup partial Atimes B^circ)cup
(partial Atimes partial Bcup A^circ times partial B)=$$
$$ partial Atimes overline{B}cup overline{A}times partial B.$$
