Definition 5.1.3 (Separation Axioms).label Let $(X, \topo)$ be a topological space, then $X$ may satisfy the following separation axioms:

  1. (T0)

    For any $x, y \in X$ with $x \ne y$, there exists $U \in \topo$ with $x \in U$ and $y \not\in U$, or there exists $U \in \topo$ with $x \not\in U$ and $y \in U$.

  2. (T1)

    For any $x, y \in X$ with $x \ne y$, there exists $U \in \topo$ with $x \in U$ and $y \not\in U$.

  3. (T2)

    For any $x, y \in X$ with $x \ne y$, there exists $U, V \in \topo$ with $x \in U$, $y \in V$, and $U \cap V = \emptyset$.

  4. (T3)

    $X$ is (T1), and for any $x \in X$ and $A \subset X$ closed with $x \not\in A$, there exists $U, V \in \topo$ such that $x \in U$, $A \subset V$, and $U \cap V = \emptyset$.

  5. (T4)

    $X$ is (T1), and for any $A, B \subset X$ closed with $A \cap B = \emptyset$, there exists $U, V \in \topo$ such that $A \subset U$, $B \subset V$, and $U \cap V = \emptyset$.
