Finer and coarser topologies
We say that one topology \( \mathcal{T} \) on \( X \) is finer than another topology \( \mathcal{T}' \) on \( X \) iff [in words...]. \( \mathcal{T}' \) is said to be coarser than \( \mathcal{T} \).
Stronger and weaker are alternative terminology for finer and coarser.
\( \mathcal{T} \) is strictly finer iff [...]
Symbolically,
- \( \mathcal{T} \) is finer than \( \mathcal{T}' \) ⟺ [...].
- \( \mathcal{T} \) is strictly finer than \( \mathcal{T}' \) ⟺ [...].
