general topology - Is there exist a homemoorphism between either pair of $(0,1),(0,1],[0,1]$



As the topic is there exist a homeomorphism between either pair of $(0, 1),(0,1],[0,1]$


Answer



No two of the three spaces are homeomorphic. One way to see this is to note that $(0,1)$ has no non-cut points, $(0,1]$ has one non-cut point, and $[0,1]$ has two. (A non-cut point is one whose removal does not disconnect the space.) Another way to see that $[0,1]$ is not homeomorphic to either of the others is to note that $[0,1]$ is compact, and they are not. $(0,1)$ and $(0,1]$ can also be distinguished by the fact that the one-point compactification of $(0,1)$ is homeomorphic to the circle $S^1$, while that of $(0,1]$ is homeomorphic to $[0,1]$.
