Real analysis, topology [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • If A is infinite, does there have to exist a subset of A that is equivalent to A?

    2 answers




"If a set is equivalent to one of its proper subset then it is infinite set"



I was wondering why can't it be countably infinite? Since $mathbb{Z} sim mathbb{N} sim mathbb{Z}+ rightarrow mathbb{Z}+ sim mathbb{Z}$, $mathbb{Z}$ is countably infinite hence $mathbb{Z}$ is equivalent to its proper subset but Z is countably infinite.. Please correct me where I am getting it wrong

    Hello, you seem to have confused the title field for the tags field. You should think about making your title informative about the question you are asking. I've taken the liberty of providing a better title. Please do something similar in the future.

    It always is true, assuming the axiom of choice, see this duplicate: A set is infinite if it is equivalent to one of its subsets.
