Completely Regular Space

            A topological space X is said to be completely regular space, if every closed set A in X and a point x belongs to X, x does not belongs to A  , then there exist a continuous function function from X to [0,1], such that f(x)=0 and f(A)={1}.
            In other words, a topological space X is said to be a completely regular space if for any x     belongs to X and a closed set C not containing x, there exist a continuous function  such that f(x)=0 and f(c)=1.

Remark:
            Let us consider a continuous function  defined as g(x)=1 and g(A)=0. Since constant function is continuous therefore taking the function g(x)=I(x)-f(x), where I(x)=1, for all x belongs to X.
            Now g(x)=I(x)-f(x)
                                =1-0=1
            And g(A)=I(A)-f(A)
                                =1-1=0
            Moreover the continuous function defined in the condition for completely regular space is said to be separate the point x form the set A.


Tychonoff Space:
            A completely regular T1-space is said to be a Tychonoff space or a -space.

Note: It may be noted that since product of T1-space is T1-space and product of completely regular space is completely regular space, so product of Tychonoff space is Tychonoff space.


Theorems:

    • Every completely regular space is a regular space as well.
    • Every completely regular T1-space is Hausdorff space or T2-space.
    • Every subspace of a completely regular space is completely regular space.
    • Product of completely regular space is a completely regular space.
    • Every subspace of Tychonoff space is Tychonoff space.
    • Every Tychonoff space is Hausdorff space.
