Hausdorff Topologies
Definition
A topological space is said to be Hausdorff1 or to satisfy the T2 condition if every distinct pair of points can be surrounded by disjoint neighborhoods; that is,
nb. Apparently in German ‘Haus’ can be translated as ‘house’ and ‘dorf’ can be translated as village.
As a nice coincidence, the Hausdorff condition can be roughly read as “every house (point) has its own village (open set)!"
Properties
Stronger than (i.e., implies) the T1 condition.
