$T4$ space (Definition)
Definition 1   [1] Suppose $X$ is a topological space. Further, suppose that for any two disjoint closed sets $A,B\subseteq X$ , there are two disjoint open sets $U$ and $V$ such that $A\subseteq U$ and $B\subseteq V$ . Then we say that $X$ is a $T_4$ space.

Notes

It should be pointed out that there is no standard convention for separation axioms in topology. The above definition follows [1]. However, in some references (e.g. [2]) the meaning of $T_4$ and normal are exchanged.
