Paracompact space — In mathematics, a paracompact space is a topological space in which every open cover admits a locally finite open refinement. Paracompact spaces are sometimes also required to be Hausdorff. Paracompact spaces were introduced by Dieudonné (1944).… … Wikipedia

Hausdorff space — In topology and related branches of mathematics, a Hausdorff space, separated space or T2 space is a topological space in which distinct points have disjoint neighbourhoods. Of the many separation axioms that can be imposed on a topological space … Wikipedia
Partition of unity — In mathematics, a partition of unity of a topological space X is a set of continuous functions, { ho i} {iin I}, from X to the unit interval [0,1] such that for every point, xin X, * there is a neighbourhood of x where all but a finite number of… … Wikipedia
Separation axiom — In topology and related fields of mathematics, there are several restrictions that one often makes on the kinds of topological spaces that one wishes to consider. Some of these restrictions are given by the separation axioms. These are sometimes… … Wikipedia
Regular space — In topology and related fields of mathematics, regular spaces and T3 spaces are particularly convenient kinds of topological spaces.Both conditions are examples of separation axioms. Definitions Suppose that X is a topological space. X is a… … Wikipedia
Lindelöf space — In mathematics, a Lindelöf space is a topological space in which every open cover has a countable subcover. A Lindelöf space is a weakening of the more commonly used notion of compactness , which requires the existence of a finite subcover.A… … Wikipedia
Long line (topology) — In topology, the long line (or Alexandroff line) is a topological space analogous to the real line, but much longer. Because it behaves locally just like the real line, but has different large scale properties, it serves as one of the basic… … Wikipedia
Topological manifold — In mathematics, a topological manifold is a Hausdorff topological space which looks locally like Euclidean space in a sense defined below. Topological manifolds form an important class of topological spaces with applications throughout… … Wikipedia
A-paracompact space — In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be a paracompact if every open cover of the topological space has a locally finite refinement. Unlike in the definition of paracompactness we do not insist that the… … Wikipedia
