I am a little bit confused. Assume that $Y$ is a subset of $X$, with the inherited topology from $X$. What does it mean the $Ksubset Y$ is a relatively compact subset of $Y$?



One option, is that $K= Ccap Y$, where $C$ is a relatively compact subset in $X$.



Another option, is the $overlineKcap Y$ is compact in $Y$.



To be specific, I am looking on the following example:



Let $X$ be a topological (locally compact Hausdorff), $D_n_
ninmathbbZ$ be a sequence of open subsets inside $X$. For every $n$, let $T_n: D_nto D_-n$ be a homeomorphism.
Consider the set $Y:= xin D_n$ with the inherited topology from $Xtimes mathbbZtimes X$.



I want to say that if $Ksubset Y$ is relatively compact, then $K$ is contained in a set of the form $(T_n(x),n,x)in Xtimes mathbbZtimes X$ for some relatively compact set $C$ in $X$ and $NinmathbbN$. Is it true?



Thanks!

          According to definition a subset of a topological space is relatively compact if its closure (in that space) is compact.



          So I suspect that $Ksubseteq Y$ is a relatively compact subset of $Y$ it is closure in $Y$ is compact.



          Further if $overline K$ denotes the closure of $K$ in original space $X$ then the closure of $K$ as a subset of $Y$ equals $overline Kcap Y$.



          This results in the second option that you mention:$$Ktext is a relatively compact subset of Ysubseteq Xtext iff overline Kcap Ytext is compact$$




          I advice you not to accept this answer, but just think it over. Maybe a real topologist will pass by to adjust.

          • Thank you very much, sounds good. It seems to me that in this case $overlineK$ is also a subset of $Y$: $overlineK=overlineKcap Ysubseteq overlineoverlineKcap Y=overlineKcap Y$, the last equality is since the intersection is compact and therefore closed in $X$. The inclusion implies that $overlineKsubseteq Y$. But then, the conclusion is that $K$ is a relatively compact subset of $Y$ if and only if $overlineK$ is contained in $Y$ and is compact(?)

            "since the intersection is compact and therefore closed in $X$". Yes to this under the extra condition that $X$ is a Hausdorff space. In a Hausdorff space compact sets are indeed closed, and you end up with the conclusion you mention. But in general it is not true that compact sets are necessarily closed.
