T2 Space or Hausdorff Space

            A Hausdorff space or T2-space is a topological space in which each pair of distinct points can be separated by disjoint open set.
            In other words, a topological space x is said to be a T2-space or Hausdorff space if for any x and y belongs to X and x not equal to y, there exist open sets U and V such that x     belogs to U and y belongs to V and U intersection V equals to empty.


Example:
            Let X={1,2,3} be a non-empty set with topology T=P(X) (all the subsets of X, powers set or discrete topology). Hence

Theorems:

  • Every metric space is Hausdorff space.
  • Every T2-space is a T1-space but the converse may not be true.
  • Every subspace of T2-space is T2-space.
  • In a Hausdorff space, any point and a disjoint compact subspace can be separated by open sets, in the sense that there exist disjoint open sets one contains the point and the other contains the compact subspace.
  • Every compact subspace of Hausdorff space is closed.
  • A one-to-one continuous mapping of a compact onto a Hausdorff space is homeomorphism.
  • Let ,  be continuous functions from a space X to a Hausdorff space Y and suppose that f(x)=g(x) for all x in a dense subset D of X. Then f(x)=g(x) for all x in X.
  • A space X is Hausdorff space if and only if every point a of X is the intersection of its closed neighbourhoods.
  • Let X be a topological space and Y a Hausdorff space. Let f and g be continuous function from X to Y, then the set  is a closed set.
