Open Sets of Double Pointed Topology/Corollary
Theorem
Let $\struct {S, \tau_S}$ be a topological space.
Let $D$ be a doubleton endowed with the indiscrete topology.
Let $\struct {S \times D, \tau}$ be the double pointed topology on $S$.
A subset $X \subseteq S \times D$ is closed in $\tau$ if and only if for some closed set $C$ of $\tau$:
- $X = C \times D$
Proof
By definition, $X$ is closed if and only if its complement $\map \complement X$ is open.
By Open Sets of Double Pointed Topology, it follows by that for some $U \in \tau$:
- $\map \complement X = U \times D$
Then by Cartesian Product Distributes over Set Difference and Complement of Complement, we have that:
rather, Cartesian Product Distributes over Complement (and for Relative Complement), but those don't exist

If you are able to fix this proof, then when you have done so you can remove this instance of {{Improve}} from the code.
If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your improvement is correct, add an invitation to {{Proofread}} the page (see the proofread template for usage).
- $X = \paren {S \times D} \setminus \paren {U \times D} = \paren {S \setminus U} \times D$
Since $S \setminus U$ is a closed set of $\tau$, the result follows.
