Regular, normal, T₃, T₄ and T₅ spaces #
This file continues the study of separation properties of topological spaces, focussing on conditions strictly stronger than T₂.
Main definitions #
RegularSpace
: A regular space is one where, given any closedC
andx ∉ C
, there are disjoint open sets containingx
andC
respectively. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff.T3Space
: A T₃ space is a regular T₀ space. T₃ implies T₂.₅.NormalSpace
: A normal space, is one where given two disjoint closed sets, we can find two open sets that separate them. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff, even if it is T₀.T4Space
: A T₄ space is a normal T₁ space. T₄ implies T₃.CompletelyNormalSpace
: A completely normal space is one in which for any two setss
,t
such that if bothclosure s
is disjoint witht
, ands
is disjoint withclosure t
, then there exist disjoint neighbourhoods ofs
andt
.Embedding.completelyNormalSpace
allows us to conclude that this is equivalent to all subspaces being normal. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff or regular, even if it is T₀.T5Space
: A T₅ space is a completely normal T₁ space. T₅ implies T₄.
See Mathlib.Topology.Separation.GDelta
for the definitions of PerfectlyNormalSpace
and
T6Space
.
Note that mathlib
adopts the modern convention that m ≤ n
if and only if T_m → T_n
, but
occasionally the literature swaps definitions for e.g. T₃ and regular.

A topological space is called a regular space if for any closed set s
and a ∉ s
, there
exist disjoint open sets U ⊇ s
and V ∋ a
. We formulate this condition in terms of Disjoint
ness
of filters 𝓝ˢ s
and 𝓝 a
.
If
a
is a point that does not belong to a closed sets
, thena
ands
admit disjoint neighborhoods.

In a regular space, if a compact set and a closed set are disjoint, then they have disjoint neighborhoods.
This technique to witness HasSeparatingCover
in regular Lindelöf topological spaces
will be used to prove regular Lindelöf spaces are normal.
In a (possibly non-Hausdorff) locally compact regular space, for every containment K ⊆ U
of
a compact set K
in an open set U
, there is a compact closed neighborhood L
such that K ⊆ L ⊆ U
: equivalently, there is a compact closed set L
such
that K ⊆ interior L
and L ⊆ U
.
In a locally compact regular space, given a compact set K
inside an open set U
, we can find
an open set V
between these sets with compact closure: K ⊆ V
and the closure of V
is
inside U
.
A T₂.₅ space, also known as a Urysohn space, is a topological space
where for every pair x ≠ y
, there are two open sets, with the intersection of closures
empty, one containing x
and the other y
.
Given two distinct points in a T₂.₅ space, their filters of closed neighborhoods are disjoint.

A T₃ space is a T₀ space which is a regular space. Any T₃ space is a T₁ space, a T₂ space, and a T₂.₅ space.

A topological space is said to be a normal space if any two disjoint closed sets have disjoint open neighborhoods.

Two disjoint sets in a normal space admit disjoint neighbourhoods.
