The complex -plane compactified by adding the point at infinity and written as . The exterior of any circle in , that, is, any set of the form , , becomes a neighbourhood of . The extended complex plane is the Aleksandrov compactification of the plane , and is both homeomorphic and conformally equivalent to the Riemann sphere. The spherical, or chordal, metric on is given by
