Fine Topology (potential Theory) - Properties of The Fine Topology

Properties of The Fine Topology

The fine topology is in some ways much less tractable than the usual topology in euclidean space, as is evidenced by the following (taking ):

  • A set in is fine compact if and only if is finite.
  • The fine topology on is not locally compact (although it is Hausdorff).
  • The fine topology on is not first-countable, second-countable or metrisable.

The fine topology does at least have a few 'nicer' properties:

  • The fine topology has the Baire property.
  • The fine topology in is locally connected.

The fine topology does not possess the Lindelöf property but it does have the slightly weaker quasi-Lindelöf property:

  • An arbitrary union of fine open subsets of differs by a polar set from some countable subunion.

    I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;
    Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
