Definition:Finite Complement Topology/Uncountable

Definition
Let $S$ be an infinite set.

Let $\tau$ be the finite complement topology on $S$.

Let $S$ be uncountable.

Then $\tau$ is a finite complement topology on an uncountable space, and $\struct {S, \tau}$ is a uncountable finite complement space.

Also known as
The term cofinite is sometimes seen in place of finite complement.

Some sources are more explicit about the nature of this topology, and call it the topology of finite complements.

refers to the specific instance of this where $S = \R$ as the Zariski topology.

However, this is not recommended as there is another so named Zariski topology which is unrelated to this one.
