Abstract:
A topology ${\mathcal {T}_1}$ is said to cover another topology ${\mathcal {T}_2}$ if ${\mathcal {T}_2} \subsetneq {\mathcal {T}_1}$ and no other topology may be included between the two. In this paper, we characterize the relationship between a ${T_1}$-topology and its covers. This characterization is used to prove that the lattice of ${T_1}$-topologies is both upper and lower semimodular. We also prove that the sublattice generated by the covers of a ${T_1}$-topology is isomorphic to the Boolean lattice of all subsets of the set of covers.References
