$Top(X)$ within $\px$ ]{When lattices meet topology: $Top(X)$ within $\px$.}
Abstract
For a non-empty set , the collection of all topologies on sits inside the Boolean lattice (when ordered by set-theoretic inclusion) which in turn can be naturally identified with the Stone space . Via this identification then, naturally inherits the subspace topology from (see \cite{TopX1}). Extending ideas of Frink \cite{MR0006496}, we establish an equivalence between the topological closures of sublattices of and their (completely distributive) completions. We exploit this equivalence when searching for countably infinite compact subsets within and in crystalizing the Borel complexity of . We exhibit infinite compact subsets of including, in particular, copies of the Stone-\v{C}ech and one-point compactifications of discrete spaces.
