  • T1T_1 . Frechet space. Every pair of points have neighbourhoods not containing the other point (equivalent to points being closed) – vid
  • T2T_2 (Hausdorff space)
  • T3T_3. A point and a closed subset not containing the point, then they have disjoint neighbourhoods.
  • T4T_4. Disjoint closed subsets have disjoint neighbourhoods.

Regular space

Normal space

Then normal => regular => Hausdorff => T1T_1


Lemma.

X is T3 if and only if for every xXx \in X and neighbourhood UU of XX, there is a nbhd VV of xx s.t. V¯U\bar{V} \subset U.

X is T4 iff for each closed subsete AA of XX and nbhd UU of AA, there is a nbhd VV of AA s.t. V¯U\bar{V} \subset U


Urysohn's lemma –> Urysohn metrization theorem

Proposition. Every Regular space with a countable basis is normal
