Questions tagged [separation-axioms]

Separation axioms are properties of topological space which, roughly speaking, say in what way two points, a point and a closed set, or two closed sets can be "separated". Most important are $T_0$-spaces, $T_1$-spaces, Hausdorff, regular, completely regular and normal spaces.

Separation axioms are properties of topological space which, roughly speaking, say in what way two points, a point and a closed set, or two closed sets can be "separated".

The most important separation axioms are $T_0$-spaces (Kolmogorov), $T_1$-spaces (Fréchet), $T_2$-spaces (Hausdorff), $T_{2\frac12}$-spaces (Urysohn), $T_3$-spaces (regular), $T_{3\frac12}$-spaces (completely regular) (Tychonoff) and $T_4$-spaces (normal) spaces.

What does it mean if you take the zero vector in the hyperplane separation theorem?

If you have two disjoint sets V and W, which are compact and convex, then by the separation theorem there exists a vector u such that uv< uw. However what does it mean if you take u=0?

Tychonov vs Hausdorf separation property

I look for an example of a topology which is Tychonov (T1) but not Hausdorf (T2). In this case the neighborhoods for any two points x and y must intersect at, say, point z. If we consider three-points space with topology…
