Volterra Space

In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be a Volterra space if any finite intersection of dense G-delta subsets is dense. Every Baire space is Volterra, but the converse is not true. In fact, any metrizable space is Volterra.

The name refers to a paper of Vito Volterra in which he uses the fact that (in modern notation) the intersection of two dense G-delta sets in the real numbers is again dense.

Famous quotes containing the word space:

    ... the space left to freedom is very small. ... ends are inherent in human nature and the same for all.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
