locally compact Hausdorff spaces
1 Locally compact Hausdorff spaces
Definition 1.1.
A locally compact Hausdorff space is a locally compact topological space (http://planetmath.org/LocallyCompact) with being a Hausdorff topology (http://planetmath.org/T2Space), that is, if given any distinct points , there exist disjoint sets such that, (that is, open sets), and with and satisfying the conditions that and .
Remark 1.1.
An important, related concept to the locally compact Hausdorff space is that of a locally compact (topological) groupoid, which is a major concept for realizing extended quantum symmetries in terms of quantum groupoid representations in: quantum algebraic topology (QAT), topological QFT (TQFT), algebraic QFT (AQFT), axiomatic QFT, QCG, and quantum gravity (QG). This has also prompted the relatively recent development of the concepts of homotopy 2-groupoid and homotopy double groupoid of a Hausdorff space [1, 2]. It would be interesting to have also axiomatic definitions of these two important algebraic topology concepts that are consistent with the T2 axiom.
