{"# Regular, normal, T₃, T₄ and T₅ spaces
This file continues the study of separation properties of topological spaces, focussing on conditions strictly stronger than T₂.
Main definitions
RegularSpace: A regular space is one where, given any closedCandx ∉ C, there are disjoint open sets containingxandCrespectively. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff.T3Space: A T₃ space is a regular T₀ space. T₃ implies T₂.₅.NormalSpace: A normal space, is one where given two disjoint closed sets, we can find two open sets that separate them. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff, even if it is T₀.T4Space: A T₄ space is a normal T₁ space. T₄ implies T₃.CompletelyNormalSpace: A completely normal space is one in which for any two setss,tsuch that if bothclosure sis disjoint witht, andsis disjoint withclosure t, then there exist disjoint neighbourhoods ofsandt.Embedding.completelyNormalSpaceallows us to conclude that this is equivalent to all subspaces being normal. Such a space is not necessarily Hausdorff or regular, even if it is T₀.T5Space: A T₅ space is a completely normal T₁ space. T₅ implies T₄.
See Mathlib.Topology.Separation.GDelta for the definitions of PerfectlyNormalSpace and
T6Space.
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
Regular spaces
If the space is also Lindelöf:
NormalSpace.of_regularSpace_lindelofSpace: every regular Lindelöf space is normal.
T₃ spaces
disjoint_nested_nhds: Given two pointsx ≠ y, we can find neighbourhoodsx ∈ V₁ ⊆ U₁andy ∈ V₂ ⊆ U₂, with theVₖclosed and theUₖopen, such that theUₖare disjoint.
