Exercise · ZW-HAUSDORFF-SPACE-005 · ★☆☆ Basic

If \(X\) is Hausdorff and \(A\subseteq X\), the subspace \(A\) is:

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. always Hausdorff

Explanation

Two points of \(A\) are separated by open sets \(U,V\) of \(X\); then \(A\cap U\) and \(A\cap V\) are disjoint open sets of \(A\). The property is hereditary, with no condition on \(A\).

Review the concept: Hausdorff space

A topological space \(X\) is Hausdorff if for every pair of distinct points \(x\) and \(y\) there exist disjoint open sets \(U\ni x\) and \(V\ni y\).

\[x\neq y\ \Rightarrow\ \exists\,U,V\ \text{open}:\ x\in U,\ y\in V,\ U\cap V=\varnothing\]
