Normal Space - Relationships To Other Separation Axioms

Relationships To Other Separation Axioms

If a normal space is R0, then it is in fact completely regular. Thus, anything from "normal R0" to "normal completely regular" is the same as what we normally call normal regular. Taking Kolmogorov quotients, we see that all normal T1 spaces are Tychonoff. These are what we normally call normal Hausdorff spaces.

Counterexamples to some variations on these statements can be found in the lists above. Specifically, Sierpinski space is normal but not regular, while the space of functions from R to itself is Tychonoff but not normal.

Famous quotes containing the words separation and/or axioms:

    On a subconscious level your child experiences separation from you as a “punishment.” And if he is to be “rewarded” with your return, he must be very good.... Eager for you to come back, your finicky son would probably eat liver if your baby-sitter served it, and he wouldn’t dream of resisting her at bathtime.
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    “I tell you the solemn truth that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.”
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
