Let $S \subseteq \LO(\N)$ be the set of orders having a least element and such that every element has an immediate successor. \begin{itemize} \item $S$ is Borel in $\LO(\N)$: Let $M_n \subseteq \LO(\N)$ be the set of orders with minimal element $n$. Let $I_{n,m} \subseteq \LO(\N)$ be the set of orders such that $m$ is the immediate successor of $n$. Clearly $S = \left(\bigcap_n \bigcup_{m\neq n} I_{n,m}\right) \cap \bigcup_n M_n$, so it suffices to show that $M_n$ and $I_{n,m}$ are Borel. It is $M_n = \bigcap_{m\neq n} \{\prec : m \not\prec n\}$ and $I_{n,m} = \{\prec: n \prec m\} \cap \bigcap_{i} \{\prec : n \preceq i \preceq m \implies n = i \lor n = m \}$. \item Give an example of an element of $S$ which is not well-ordered: Consider $\{1 - \frac{1}{n} : n \in \N^+\} \cup \{1 + \frac{1}{n} : n \in \N^{+}\} \subseteq \R$ with the order $<_\R$. This is an element of $S$, but $\{x \in S: x \ge 1\}$ has no minimal element, hence it is not well-ordered. \end{itemize} \nr 2 % Examinable Recall the definition of the circle shift flow $(\R / \Z, \Z)$ with parameter $\alpha \in \R$, $1 \cdot x \coloneqq x + \alpha$. \begin{itemize} \item If $\alpha \not\in \Q$, then $(\R / \Z, \Z)$ is minimal: This is known as \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_approximation_theorem}{Dirichlet's Approximation Theorem}. \item Consider $\R/\Z$ as a topological group. Any subgroup $H$ of $\R / \Z$ is dense in $\R / \Z$ or of the form $H = \{ x \in \R / \Z | mx = 0\}$ for some $m \in \Z$. If $H$ contains an irrational element $\alpha$, then it is dense by the previous point. Suppose that $H \subseteq \Q / \Z$. Let $D$ be the set of denominators of elements of $H$ written as irreducible fractions. If $D$ is finite, then $H = \{x \in \R / \Z : \mathop{lcm}(D)x = 0\}$. Otherwise $H$ is dense, as it contains elements of arbitrarily large denominator. \end{itemize} \nr 3 % somewhat examinable (for 1.0) % TODO \begin{enumerate}[(a)] \item $(X,T)$ is distal iff it does not have a proximal pair, i.e.~$a\neq b$, $c$ such that $t_n \in T$, $t_na, t_nb \to c$. Equivalently, for all $a,b$ there exists an $\epsilon$, such that for all $t \in T$, $d(ta,tb) > \epsilon$. \item \todo{TODO}% TODO (not too hard) % (b) % Let $(X,T)$ be distal with a dense orbit, % then it is distal minimal. % Sheet 8: has dense orbit is Borel % Distal flow decomposes into distal minimal flows. \end{enumerate} \nr 4 % Examinable! % TODO THINK! \gist{% % RECAP Let $X$ be a metrizable topological space and let $K(X) \coloneqq \{ K \subseteq X : K \text{ compact}\}$. The Vietoris topology has a basis given by $\{K \subseteq U\}$, $U$ open (type 1) and $\{K : K \cap U \neq \emptyset\}$, $U$ open (type 2). The Hausdorff metric on $K(X)$, $d_H(K,L)$ is the smallest $\epsilon$ such that $K \subseteq B_{\epsilon}(L) \land L \subseteq B_\epsilon(K)$. This is equal to the maximal point to set distance, $\max_{a \in A} d(a,B)$. On previous sheets, we checked that $d_H$ is a metric. If $X$ is separable, then so is $K(X)$. % END RECAP }{} \begin{fact} \label{fact:s12e4} Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space. Then so is $(K(X), d_H)$. \end{fact} \begin{refproof}{fact:s12e4} We need to show that $(K(X), d_H)$ is complete. Let $(K_n)_{ n< \omega}$ be Cauchy in $(K(X), d_H)$. Wlog.~$K_n \neq \emptyset$ for all $n$. Let $K = \{ x \in X : \forall x \in U \overset{\text{open}}{\subseteq} X.~ \text{ $U \cap K_n \neq \emptyset$ for infinitely many $n$}\}$. Equivalently, $K = \{x : x \text{ is a cluster point of some subsequence $(x_n)$ with $x_n \in K_n$ for all $K_n$}\}$. (A cluster point is a limit of some subsequence). \begin{claim} \label{fact:s12e4:c1} $K_n \to K$. \end{claim} \begin{refproof}{fact:s12e4:c1} Note that $K$ is closed (the complement is open). \begin{claim} $K \neq \emptyset$. \end{claim} \begin{subproof} As $(K_n)$ is Cauchy, there exists a sequence $(x_n)$ with $x_n \in K_n$ such that there exists a subsequence $(x_{n_i})$ with $d(x_{n_i}, x_{n_{i+1}}) < \frac{1}{2^{i+1}}$. Let $n_0,n_1,\ldots$ be such that $d_H(K_a, K_b) < 2^{-i-1}$ for $a,b \ge n_i$. Pick $x_{n_0} \in K_{n_0}$. Then let $x_{n_{i+1}} \in K_{n_{i+1}}$ be such that $d(x_{n_i}, x_{n_{i+1}})$ is minimal. Then $x_{n_i} \xrightarrow{i \to \infty} x$ and we have $x \in K$. \end{subproof} \begin{claim} $K$ is compact. \end{claim} \begin{subproof} We show that $K$ is complete and totally bounded. Since $K$ is a closed subset of a complete space, it is complete. So it suffices to show that $K$ is totally bounded. Let $\epsilon > 0$. Take $N$ such that $d_H(K_i,K_j) < \epsilon$ for all $i,j \ge N$. Cover $K_N$ with finitely many $\epsilon$-balls with centers $z_i$. Take $x \in K$. Then the $\epsilon$-ball around $x$ intersects $K_j$ for some $j \ge N$, so there exists $z_i$ such that $d(x,z_i) < 3\epsilon$. Note that a subset of a bigger space is totally bounded iff it is totally bounded in itself. \end{subproof} Now we show that $K_n \to K$ in $K(X)$. Let $\epsilon > 0$. Take $N$ such that for all $m,n \ge N$, $d_H(K_m,K_n) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. We'll first show that $\delta(K, K_n) < \epsilon$ for all $n > N$. Let $x \in K$. Take $(x_{n_i})$ with $x_{n_i} \in K_{n_i}, x_{n_i} \to x$. Then for large $i$, we have $n_i \ge N$ and $d(x_{n_i}, x) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. Take $n \ge N$. Then there exists $y_n \in K_n$ with $d(y_n, x_{n_i}) < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. So $d(x,y_n) < \epsilon$. Now show that $\delta(K_n, K) < \epsilon$ for all $n \ge N$. Take $y \in K_n$. Show that $d(y,K) < \epsilon$. To do this, construct a sequence of $y_{n_i} \in K_{n_i}$ starting with $y$ such that $d(y_{n_i}, y_{n_{i+1}}) < \frac{\epsilon}{2^{i+2}}$. (same trick as before). \end{refproof} \end{refproof} \begin{fact} If $X$ is compact metrisable, then so is $K(X)$. \end{fact} \begin{proof} We have just shown that $X$ is complete. So it suffices to show that it is totally bounded. Let $\epsilon > 0$. Cover $X$ with finitely many $\epsilon$-balls. Let $F$ be the set of the centers of these balls. Consider $\cP(F) \setminus \{\emptyset\}$. Clearly $\{B_x^{d_H} : x \in \cP(F) \setminus \{\emptyset\} \}$ is a finite cover of $K(X)$. \end{proof} % TODO complete and totally bounded Sutherland metric and topological spaces
