A study of non-Euclidean \(s\)-topology (Q454503): Difference between revisions

Summary: The present paper focuses on the characterization of compact sets of Minkowski space with a non-Euclidean \(s\)-topology which is defined in terms of the Lorentz metric. As an application of this study, it is proved that the 2-dimensional Minkowski space with \(s\)-topology is not simply connected. Also, it is obtained that the \(n\)-dimensional Minkowski space with \(s\)-topology is separable, first countable, path-connected, nonregular, nonmetrizable, not second countable, noncompact, and non-Lindelöf.
