Revision difference : T1 space
Version 5 Version 4
A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is said to be $T_1$ (or said to hold the $T_1$ axiom) if for all distinct points $x,y\in X$ ($x\neq y$), there exists an open set $U\in\tau$ such that $x\in U$ and $y\notin V$. A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is said to be $T_1$ (or said to hold the $T_1$ axiom) if given $x,y\in X$ ($x\neq y$), there exist open sets $U,V\in\tau$ such that $x\in U$ and $y\in V$.
A space being $T_1$ is equivalent to the following statements: A space being $T_1$ is equivalent to the following statements:
\begin{itemize} \begin{itemize}
\item For every $x\in X$, the set $\{x\}$ is closed. \item For every $x\in X$, the set $\{x\}$ is closed.
\item Every subset of $X$ is equal to the intersection of all the open sets that contain it. \item Every subset of $X$ is equal to the intersection of all the open sets that contain it.
\end{itemize} \end{itemize}
