Hausdorff space

In topology and related branches of mathematics, a Hausdorff space (/ˈhaʊsdɔːrf/ HOWS-dorf, /ˈhaʊzdɔːrf/ HOWZ-dorf), separated space or T2 space is a topological space where for any two distinct points there exist neighbourhoods of each which are disjoint from each other. Of the many separation axioms that can be imposed on a topological space, the "Hausdorff condition" (T2) is the most frequently used and discussed. It implies the uniqueness of limits of sequences, nets, and filters. Hausdorff spaces are named after Felix Hausdorff, one of the founders of topology. Hausdorff's original definition of a topological space (in 1914) included the Hausdorff condition as an axiom. (Wikipedia).

An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance

Title: An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the Hausdorff and Gromov-Hausdorff distances between metric spaces. The Hausdorff distance is defined on two subsets of a common metric space. The Gromov-Hausdorff distance is defined on any

Hausdorff Example 3: Function Spaces

Point Set Topology: For a third example, we consider function spaces. We begin with the space of continuous functions on [0,1]. As a metric space, this example is Hausdorff, but not complete. We consider Cauchy sequences and a possible completion.

Hausdorff Example 1: Cofinite Topology

Point Set Topology: We recall the notion of a Hausdorff space and consider the cofinite topology as a source of non-Hausdorff examples. We also note that this topology is always compact.

Algebraic Topology - 1 - Compact Hausdorff Spaces (a Review of Point-Set Topology)

This is mostly a review point set topology. In general it is not true that a bijective continuous map is invertible (you need to worry about the inverse being continuous). In the case that your spaces are compact hausdorff this is true! We prove this in this video and review necessary fac

MAST30026 Lecture 11: Hausdorff spaces (Part 1)

I introduced the Hausdorff condition, proved some basic properties, discussed the "real line with a double point" as an example of a non-Hausdorff space, proved that a compact subspace of a Hausdorff space is closed, and that continuous bijections from compact to Hausdorff spaces are homeo

MAST30026 Lecture 12: Function spaces (Part 2)

The aim of this lecture was to motivate the definition of the compact-open topology on function spaces, via the adjunction property. I explained how any topology making the adjunction property true must include a certain class of open sets, which we will define next lecture to be a sub-bas

We continued the discussion of the compact-open topology on function spaces. Guided by Part 2 we defined this topology, and got about half way through the proof that the adjunction property (aka the exponential law) holds when function spaces are given this topology. Lecture notes: http:/

Henry Adams (3/22/22): Gromov-Hausdorff distances, Borsuk-Ulam theorems, and Vietoris-Rips complexes

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance between two metric spaces is an important tool in geometry, but it is difficult to compute. For example, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between unit spheres of different dimensions is unknown in nearly all cases. I will introduce recent work by Lim, Mémoli, and
