Normal Space

            Let X be a topological space and, A and B are disjoint closed subsets of X, then X is said to be normal space, if there exist open sets U and V such that A subset of U, B subset of V, U intersection V is equal to empty set.
            In other words, a topological space X is said to be a normal space if for any disjoint pair of closed sets F and G, there exist open sets U and V such that F subset of U, G subset of V, U intersection V is equal to empty     set.

Remarks:

  • The collection of open sets separating the closed sets is called axiom-N.
  • It may be noted that some topologists consider the normal space basically T1 as well, while other do not.
  • Every discrete space containing at least two elements in a normal space.
  • Every metric space is a normal space.

T4-Space: A normal T1-space is called T4-space.


Theorems:

    • Every closed subspace of normal space is normal space.
    • A closed continuous image of a normal space is normal.
    • A topological space is normal if and only if any closed set A and an open set U containing A, there is at least one open set V containing A such that .
    • Every closed subspace of a T4-space is a T4-space.
    • Every T1 and normal space is a regular space.
    • If X is a normal space and f is closed continuous function from X onto a topological space Y, then Y is normal as well.
