Finite subcover with special property












2















Let $M$ compact and $mathcal{U}$ an open covering of $M$ that satisfies: each $p in M$ is contained in at least two members of $mathcal{U}$. Show that $mathcal{U}$ has a finite subcovering with the same property.




Writing $mathcal{U} = {U_{i}}$, since $M$ is compact, we have



$$M subset U_{alpha_{1}} cup cdots cup U_{alpha_{k}}.$$



How to ensure that taken $p in M$, $p in U_{alpha_{n}}cap U_{alpha_{m}}$? Intuitively, could it not be $p in U_{alpha_{1}}cap U_{alpha_{k+1}}$? I really have no idea how to prove it. Can someone give me a hint?

          Hint: Let $mathcal U = { U_i : iin I}$ be the original open covering of $M$.



          Can you show that $mathcal V = { U_i cap U_j : i, j in I, i neq j }$ is also an open covering of $M$?



          Then use the compactness of $M$ to find a finite refinement of $mathcal V$...

          • Since every $p in M$ is contained in at least two members of $mathcal{U}$, each $p$ is contained in $U_{i} cap U_{j}$ for $i neq j$, so $displaystyle bigcup_{i,jmid i neq j} U_{i} cap U_{j}$ cover $M$. Since $M$ is compact, we can extract a finite subcovering that satisfies the property.
