A series of series topologies on $\mathbb{N}$

Jason DeVito and Zachary Parker

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 2, 205–218

Abstract

Each series $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} a_{n}$ of real strictly positive terms gives rise to a topology on $ℕ = {1, 2, 3, \dots}$ by declaring a proper subset $A \subseteq ℕ$ to be closed if $\sum_{n \in A} a_{n} < \infty$ . We explore the relationship between analytic properties of the series and topological properties on $ℕ$ . In particular, we show that, up to homeomorphism, $| ℝ |$ -many topologies are generated. We also find an uncountable family of examples ${ℕ_{α}}_{α \in [0, 1]}$ with the property that for any $α < β$ , there is a continuous bijection $ℕ_{β} \to ℕ_{α}$ , but the only continuous functions $ℕ_{α} \to ℕ_{β}$ are constant.
