Reason: First published version: the De Morgan closure properties of closed sets in a topological space, needed so that intersections of closed sets can be used downstream.

Statement

Let (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) be a topological space. For a subset SXS\subseteq X write XSX\setminus S for the complement of SS relative to XX, so that SS is closed in XX exactly when XSTX\setminus S\in\mathcal{T}. Let N\mathbb{N} denote the natural numbers.

Then the following hold.

1. The empty set \varnothing and the whole set XX are closed in XX.

2. For every nNn\in\mathbb{N} and all subsets C1,,CnXC_1,\dots,C_n\subseteq X that are closed in XX, the set of all xXx\in X such that xCix\in C_i for at least one i{1,,n}i\in\{1,\dots,n\} is closed in XX.

3. For every set II and every family of subsets of XX (Ca)aI(C_a)_{a\in I} such that CaC_a is closed in XX for every aIa\in I, the set of all xXx\in X such that xCax\in C_a for every aIa\in I is closed in XX.
