John Van Ness Yates (December 18, 1779 – January 10, 1839) was a New York lawyer, Democratic-Republican politician, and Secretary of State from 1818 to 1826.

Early life

He was born in Albany on December 18, 1779.[1] He was one of six children born to Jannette "Jane" Van Ness (1741–1818) and Robert Yates, a prominent Anti-Federalist attorney and jurist.[2] His maternal uncle was Judge Peter Van Ness of Kinderhook and his cousins included John Peter Van Ness, William P. Van Ness, and Cornelius P. Van Ness.[3]

Career

He became a lawyer after clerking in the office of John Vernon Henry.[2] He held a number of offices in Albany, and was one of the first trustees of the Albany United Presbyterian Church. He was a captain of a light infantry company in 1806, master in chancery in 1808, recorder of the city 1809–1816, and New York Secretary of State 1818–1826.[2]

He co-authored History of the State of New-York: Including Its Aboriginal and Colonial Annals (1826).[2] This book features a vision of the Erie Canal, then under construction, in a ruined state in some distant, postapocalyptic future.

Personal life

Yates was married to Eliza Ross Cunningham (1789–1847), who was from Kilbarchan, Scotland. Together, they were the parents of John Van Ness Yates Jr. (1834–1837). After his death on January 10, 1839, in Albany, he was buried in Albany Rural Cemetery.[4]

Kompakter Raum

Kompaktheit ist ein zentraler Begriff der mathematischen Topologie, und zwar eine Eigenschaft, die einem topologischen Raum zukommt oder nicht. Sie wird in vielen mathematischen Aussagen vorausgesetzt – oft auch in abgeschwächter Form als Lindelöf-Eigenschaft oder Parakompaktheit. Lokalkompaktheit ist im Falle von Hausdorff-Räumen ebenfalls eine abgeschwächte Bedingung. Eine kompakte Menge nennt man je nach Kontext auch Kompaktum oder kompakter Raum; dabei ist unerheblich, ob sie Teilme...
