Exercise 8, § 2
General Topology, I, 121
Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.
Let be a set, and a cardinal number which is either infinite or equal to 1. The set of subsets of consisting of and those such that is the set of closed subsets of for a topology ; is the coarsest topology on and is the discrete topology if . Every permutation of is an automorphism of the topological space obtained by giving a topology .
Show that conversely any topology on , which has the property that every permutation of is continuous with respect to , is necessarily one of the topologies . [Let be the smallest cardinal such that for each closed subset in the topology ; observe that when is infinite and , is necessarily the discrete topology.]
