{"# Separation properties of topological spaces
This file defines some of the weaker separation axioms (under the Kolmogorov classification),
notably T₀, R₀, T₁ and R₁ spaces. For T₂ (Hausdorff) spaces and other stronger
conditions, see the file Mathlib/Topology/Separation/Hausdorff.lean.
Main definitions
SeparatedNhds: TwoSets are separated by neighbourhoods if they are contained in disjoint open sets.HasSeparatingCover: A set has a countable cover that can be used withhasSeparatingCovers_iff_separatedNhdsto witness when twoSets haveSeparatedNhds.T0Space: A T₀/Kolmogorov space is a space where, for every two pointsx ≠ y, there is an open set that contains one, but not the other.R0Space: An R₀ space (sometimes called a symmetric space) is a topological space such that theSpecializesrelation is symmetric.T1Space: A T₁/Fréchet space is a space where every singleton set is closed. This is equivalent to, for every pairx ≠ y, there existing an open set containingxbut noty(t1Space_iff_exists_openshows that these conditions are equivalent.) T₁ implies T₀ and R₀.R1Space: An R₁/preregular space is a space where any two topologically distinguishable points have disjoint neighbourhoods. R₁ implies R₀.
Note that mathlib adopts the modern convention that m ≤ n if and only if T_m → T_n, but
occasionally the literature swaps definitions for e.g. T₃ and regular.
Main results
T₀ spaces
IsClosed.exists_closed_singleton: Given a closed setSin a compact T₀ space, there is somex ∈ Ssuch that{x}is closed.exists_isOpen_singleton_of_isOpen_finite: Given an open finite setSin a T₀ space, there is somex ∈ Ssuch that{x}is open.
T₁ spaces
isClosedMap_const: The constant map is a closed map.Finite.instDiscreteTopology: A finite T₁ space must have the discrete topology.

In fact, a space with these properties is locally compact and regular. Some lemmas are formulated using the latter assumptions below. "}
