Topological Space

A topology on a set is a set of subsets containing the empty set and the whole set and closed under arbitrary unions and under intersections of two members; a topological space is a set with a topology, whose members are its open sets.

Statement

In the setting of Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation, let XX be a set and let T\mathcal{T} be a subset of P(X)\mathcal{P}(X).

T\mathcal{T} is a topology on XX if it satisfies the three conditions empty-whole, unions and intersections below.

∅∈T\emptyset\in\mathcal{T} and X∈TX\in\mathcal{T}.

For every subset S\mathcal{S} of T\mathcal{T}, ⋃S∈T\bigcup\mathcal{S}\in\mathcal{T}.

For all U,V∈TU,V\in\mathcal{T}, U∩V∈TU\cap V\in\mathcal{T}.

A topological space is a pair (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) of a set XX and a topology T\mathcal{T} on XX.

The elements of T\mathcal{T} are the open sets of (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}), and a subset UU of XX is open in (X,T)(X,\mathcal{T}) if U∈TU\in\mathcal{T}.
