In topology and related branches of mathematics, a normal space is a topological space X that satisfies Axiom T4: every two disjoint closed sets of X have disjoint open neighborhoods. A normal Hausdorff space is also called a T4 space. These conditions are examples of separation axioms and their further strengthenings define completely normal Hausdorff spaces, or T5 spaces, and perfectly normal Hausdorff spaces, or T6 spaces.

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or space:
“Unlike the normal pattern, I know I have grown more liberal as Ive grown older. I have become more convinced that there is room for improvement in the world.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“When my body leaves me
Im lonesome for it.
but body
goes away to I dont know where
