Proving the open disc is not compact












0















Prove that the open disc $D={(x,y):x^2+y^2<1}$ considered as a subspace of $mathbb{R}^2$.




I can find the following covering of the disc $B_{1-frac{1}{n}}(0,0):ninmathbb{N}$.



$Dsubseteqbigcup_limits{i=1}^{infty}B_{1-frac{1}{n}}(0,0)$.



This covering is infinite and there is no finite sub covering then $D$ is not compact.



Question:



Is this right? If not. What should I do to prove $D$ is not compact?



Thanks in advance!

You are right. But you have to show, that each collection of finitely many of your discs do not cover the set $D $.

  • If there was a finite subcover then $exists minmathbb{N}$ such that $bigcup_{i=1}^{m}B_{1-frac{1}{n}}(0,0)supseteq D$ However if $bigcup_{i=1}^{m}B_{1-frac{1}{n}}(0,0)=B_{1-frac{1}{m}}(0,0)$ If $xin B_{1-frac{1}{m}}(0,0)$ then $d(x,0)<1-frac{1}{m}<1$ which implies $Dsupseteq B_{1-frac{1}{m}}(0,0)$

In $mathbb{R}^2$, a compact set is closed and bounded...



Here, the set $D$ is not closed.

    You should show that $$Dnotsubset B_{1-frac{1}{m}}(0,0)$$



    Therfore you should show that there is some $(x,y)in D$ where $(x,y)notin B_{1-frac{1}{m}}(0,0)$.



    For that you might just choose $(x,y)=(1-frac{1}{m},0)$.




    alternatively



    Use the theorem of Heine and Borel (sometimes referred to as Borel and Lebesgue) which says that in Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^n$ the compact subsets are identical to the ones that are closed and bounded.
