==Topological Statement==
Let <math>S</math> be a [Hausdorff Space|Hausdorff topological space]. A decreasing nested sequence of non-empty compact subsets of <math>S</math> has a non-empty intersection. In other words, supposing (''C''<sub>''k''</sub>) is a sequence of non-empty, compact subsets of <math>S</math> satisfying
