The OnePoint Compactification #
We construct the OnePoint compactification (the one-point compactification) of an arbitrary
topological space X and prove some properties inherited from X.
Main definitions #
OnePoint: the OnePoint compactification, we use coercion for the canonical embeddingX → OnePoint X; whenXis already compact, the compactification adds an isolated point to the space.OnePoint.infty: the extra point

Definition and basic properties #
In this section we define OnePoint X to be the disjoint union of X and ∞, implemented as
Option X. Then we restate some lemmas about Option X for OnePoint X.

Topological space structure on OnePoint X #
We define a topological space structure on OnePoint X so that s is open if and only if
(↑) ⁻¹' sis open inX;- if
∞ ∈ s, then((↑) ⁻¹' s)ᶜis compact.
Then we reformulate this definition in a few different ways, and prove that
(↑) : X → OnePoint X is an open embedding. If X is not a compact space, then we also prove
that (↑) has dense range, so it is a dense embedding.

If x is not an isolated point of X, then x : OnePoint X is not an isolated point
of OnePoint X.

If X is not a compact space, then the natural embedding X → OnePoint X has dense range.
Compactness and separation properties #
In this section we prove that OnePoint X is a compact space; it is a T₀ (resp., T₁) space if
the original space satisfies the same separation axiom. If the original space is a locally compact
Hausdorff space, then OnePoint X is a normal (hence, T₃ and Hausdorff) space.
Finally, if the original space X is not compact and is a preconnected space, then
OnePoint X is a connected space.
For any topological space X, its one point compactification is a compact space.

The one point compactification of a weakly locally compact Hausdorff space is a T₄ (hence, Hausdorff and regular) topological space.

If X is an infinite type with discrete topology (e.g., ℕ), then the identity map from
CofiniteTopology (OnePoint X) to OnePoint X is not continuous.
A concrete counterexample shows that Continuous.homeoOfEquivCompactToT2
cannot be generalized from T2Space to T1Space.
Let α = OnePoint ℕ be the one-point compactification of ℕ, and let β be the same space
OnePoint ℕ with the cofinite topology. Then α is compact, β is T1, and the identity map
id : α → β is a continuous equivalence that is not a homeomorphism.
