Meager Sets in Arens-Fort Space

Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be the Arens-Fort space.

Let $A \subseteq S$.

Then $A$ is meager $A = \set {\tuple {0, 0} }$.

Proof
First let $A = \set {\tuple {0, 0} }$.

From the definition of Arens-Fort space, $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is closed because $S \setminus \set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is open.

From Closed Set Equals its Closure:
 * $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }^- = \set {\tuple {0, 0} }$

where $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }^-$ denotes the closure of $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$.

From the definition of Arens-Fort space, $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is not open.

Therefore the smallest open set contained in $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is $\O$.

Hence:
 * $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }^\circ = \O$

where $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }^\circ$ denotes the interior of $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$.

Thus we have that:
 * $\paren {\set {\tuple {0, 0} }^-}^\circ = \O$

and so by definition $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is nowhere dense in $T$.

From Union of Singleton it trivially follows that $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is the union of a countable set of subsets of $S$ (that is: just the one) which are nowhere dense in $S$.

Hence by definition $\set {\tuple {0, 0} }$ is meager.

Now assume $A \ne \set {\tuple {0, 0} }$.

Then $\exists x \in A: x \ne \tuple {0, 0}$.

By definition of the Arens-Fort space, $\set x$ is open in $T$.

Thus, from Interior of Open Set $\set x^\circ = \set x$.

Hence $\set x \subseteq \paren {\set x^-}^\circ$ and by definition is not nowhere dense in $T$.

So $A$ is not the union of a countable set of subsets of $S$ which are nowhere dense in $S$.

So, by definition, $A$ is not meager.
