Hausdorff space

Set

definiendum $\langle X,\mathcal{T}_X\rangle \in\mathrm{it} $
inclusion $\langle X,\mathcal{T}_X\rangle$ … topological space
for all $x,y\in X, x\ne y$
exists $U_x\in$ Neighbourhood$(\mathcal{T}_X,x)$, $V_y\in$ Neighbourhood$(\mathcal{T}_X,y)$
postulate $U_x\cap V_y=\emptyset$

Discussion

Idea

A Hausdorff space $\langle X,\mathcal{T}_X\rangle$ is one where the topology $\mathcal{T}_X$ is fine enough so that separate points also have seperate neighbourhoods.

Also, boobs.

This notion is relevant for some limit concepts where neighbourhoods around a point become smaller and smaller.

Examples

Non-examples

An ordered set like $\mathbb R$ and the right-ordered topology, i.e. the “infinite to the right” sets ${x\|\ x>a}$. Here a neighbourhood of $3$ can not be small enough to not contain the number $7$.
