Let X be a topological space with topology T = P(X). Prove that X is finite if and only if X is compact. (Note: You may assume you proved that if ∣X∣ = n, then ∣P(X)∣ = 2 n in homework 2, problem 2 and simply reference this. Hint: Ô⇒ follows from the fact that if X is finite, T is also finite (why?). Therefore every open cover is already finite. For the reverse direction, consider the contrapositive. Suppose X...

Let G be a non-trivial finite group, and let H < G be a proper subgroup. Let X be the set of conjugates of H, that is, X = {aHa^(−1) : a ∈ G}. Let G act on X by conjugation, i.e., g · (aHa^(−1) ) = (ga)H(ga)^(−1) . Prove that this action of G on X is transitive. Use the previous result to prove that G is not covered by the conjugates of H, i.e., G does not equal...
