1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(T\): \(\in \{\text{ the regular topological spaces }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(T \in \{\text{ the Hausdorff topological spaces }\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(T\) satisfies the conditions to be Hausdorff.

Step 1:

Let \(t_1, t_2 \in T\) be any such that \(t_1 \neq t_2\).

\(\{t_2\} \subseteq T\) is a closed subset.

\(t_1 \notin \{t_2\}\).

So, there are an open neighborhood of \(t_1\), \(U_{t_1} \subseteq T\), and an open neighborhood of \(\{t_2\}\), \(U_{\{t_2\}} \subseteq T\), such that \(U_{t_1} \cap U_{\{t_2\}} = \emptyset\).

But \(U_{\{t_2\}}\) is an open neighborhood of \(t_2\).

So, \(T\) is Hausdorff.
