Definition

Given a Topological space [ilmath](X,\mathcal{J})[/ilmath] we say it is Hausdorff[1] or satisfies the Hausdorff axiom if:

  • For all [ilmath]a,b\in X[/ilmath] that are distinct there exists neighbourhoods to [ilmath]a[/ilmath] and [ilmath]b[/ilmath], [ilmath]N_a[/ilmath] and [ilmath]N_b[/ilmath] such that:
    • [ilmath]N_a\cap N_b=\emptyset[/ilmath]
