A topological space X is said to be a T1-space if for any pair of distinct points of X, there exist two open sets which contain one but not the other. In other words, a topological space X is said to be a T1-space if for any there exist open sets and such that and .
Example: Let with topology defined on X is not a T1-space because for , we have open sets and X such that . This shows that we cannot find an open set which contains c but not a, so is not a T1-space. But we have already showed that is a T0-space. This shows that a T0-space may not be a T1-space. But the converse is always true.
Example: The real line with usual topology is T1-space. To prove this, we suppose that . Further assume that . Since the usual topology on consists of open intervals, so we have open sets and , such that and . This shows that the real line with usual topology is a T1-space.
Theorems:
-
Every T1-space is a T0-space
-
An indiscrete topological space with at least two points is not a T1-space.
-
The discrete topological space with at least two points is a T1-space.
-
Every two point co-finite topological space is a T1-space.
-
Every two point co-countable topological space is a T1-space.
-
Every subspace of T1-space is T1-space.
-
A topological space is a T1-space if and only if its each finite subsets is a closed set.
-
Following statements about a topological space X are equivalent. (1) X ia a T1-space. (2) Each singleton subset of X is closed. (3) Each subset A of X is the intersection of its open supersets.
- Any homeomorphic image of a T1-space is a T1-space.
-
If x is a limit point of a set A in a T1-space X, then every open set containing an infinite number of distinct points of A.
-
A finite set has no limit points in a T1-space. |
