Paracompact Hausdorff Spaces
Paracompact spaces are sometimes required to also be Hausdorff to extend their properties.
- (Theorem of Jean Dieudonné) Every paracompact Hausdorff space is normal.
- Every paracompact Hausdorff space is a shrinking space, that is, every open cover of a paracompact Hausdorff space has a shrinking: another open cover indexed by the same set such that the closure of every set in the new cover lies inside the corresponding set in the old cover.
- On paracompact Hausdorff spaces, the cohomology of a sheaf is equal to its Čech cohomology.

Famous quotes containing the word spaces:
“We should read history as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints and various lights and shades which the intervening spaces create than by its groundwork and composition.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
