Let τ1 be the collection of all subsets A⊂N such that A=∅ or N\A is finite. Let τ2 be the collection of all subsets of N of the form In={n,n+1,n+2,…}, together with the empty set. Prove that τ1 and τ2 are both topologies on N.
Show that a function f from the topological space (N,τ1) to the topological space (N,τ2) is continuous if and only if one of the following alternatives holds:
(i) f(n)→∞ as n→∞;
(ii) there exists N∈N such that f(n)=N for all but finitely many n and f(n)⩽N for all n.
