On Z we consider the family of sets τ = {Z, ∅, {−1, 0, 1}, {−2, −1, 0, 1, 2}, . . . }
where the dots mean all sets like the two before that.
a) Prove that τ is a topology.
b) Is {−4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4} compact in this topology?
c) Is it connected?
d) Is Z compact in this topology?
e) Is it connected?
