Completely normal space
Builds on Topological spaceNormal spaceSubspace topologyClosureOpen setT1 space
Definition
A topological space is completely normal when every subset of , with the subspace topology, is a normal space. A completely normal space that is also T1 is called a space.
Remarks
Equivalently, is completely normal if and only if the following holds. For all with and , there are disjoint open sets and . It is enough to check that every open subspace is normal.
Example: every metric space is completely normal. Each subspace is again a metric space, and every metric space is normal.
Non-example: the Tychonoff plank is compact Hausdorff, hence normal, but it is not completely normal. Its subspace obtained by removing one corner point is not normal.
Every perfectly normal space is completely normal.
