Named after German mathematician Felix Hausdorff (1868–1942).

Noun

Hausdorff space (plural Hausdorff spaces)

  1. (topology) A topological space in which for any two distinct points x and y, there is a pair of disjoint open sets U and V such that and .
    • 2005, N. L. Carothers, A Short Course on Banach Space Theory, Cambridge University Press, page 167:
      More generally, each compact subset of a Hausdorff space is closed. [] Metric spaces and compact Hausdorff spaces enjoy an even stronger separation property; in either case, disjoint closed sets can always be separated by disjoint open sets.

      In 1953, Grothendieck [G] characterized locally convex Hausdorff spaces which have the Dunford-Pettis property and used this property to characterize weakly compact operators u : C(K) → F, where K is a compact Hausdorff space and F is a locally compact Hausdorff space (briefly, lcHs) which is complete.
    • 2012, Neil Hindman, Dona Strauss, Algebra in the Stone-Cech Compactification: Theory and Applications, 2nd edition, Walter de Gruyter, page 83:
      Our construction of βD is a special case of more general constructions in which compact Hausdorff spaces are obtained using sets which are maximal subject to having certain algebraic properties.
