Which of the following is a separation axiom?

  1. T0

  2. T1

  3. T2

  4. T3

  5. T4


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

T2 is the weakest separation axiom that implies Hausdorffness.

In a T0 space, which of the following is true?

  1. Every point is closed.

  2. Every point is open.

  3. Every point is both open and closed.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a T0 space, points are not necessarily open or closed.

In a T1 space, which of the following is true?

  1. Every point is closed.

  2. Every point is open.

  3. Every point is both open and closed.

  4. Every point is either open or closed.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a T1 space, every point is either open or closed, but not both.

In a T2 space, which of the following is true?

  1. Every point is closed.

  2. Every point is open.

  3. Every point is both open and closed.

  4. Every two distinct points can be separated by open sets.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

T2 is the weakest separation axiom that implies Hausdorffness, which means that every two distinct points can be separated by open sets.

In a T3 space, which of the following is true?

  1. Every point is closed.

  2. Every point is open.

  3. Every point is both open and closed.

  4. Every two distinct points can be separated by open sets, and every closed set is a Gδ set.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

T3 is the weakest separation axiom that implies regularity, which means that every two distinct points can be separated by open sets, and every closed set is a Gδ set.

In a T4 space, which of the following is true?

  1. Every point is closed.

  2. Every point is open.

  3. Every point is both open and closed.

  4. Every two distinct points can be separated by open sets, and every closed set is a Gδ set, and every point is a Gδ set.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

T4 is the strongest separation axiom, and it implies that every two distinct points can be separated by open sets, every closed set is a Gδ set, and every point is a Gδ set.

Which of the following is an example of a T0 space that is not a T1 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Sorgenfrey line is a T0 space that is not a T1 space because it contains points that are neither open nor closed.

Which of the following is an example of a T1 space that is not a T2 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Cantor set is a T1 space that is not a T2 space because it contains points that cannot be separated by open sets.

Which of the following is an example of a T2 space that is not a T3 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Sierpinski space is a T2 space that is not a T3 space because it contains closed sets that are not Gδ sets.

Which of the following is an example of a T3 space that is not a T4 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The real line with the usual topology is a T3 space that is not a T4 space because it contains points that are not Gδ sets.

Which of the following is an example of a T4 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The real line with the usual topology is a T4 space because it satisfies all of the separation axioms.

Which of the following is an example of a space that is not a T0 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Sierpinski space is not a T0 space because it contains points that are neither open nor closed.

Which of the following is an example of a space that is not a T1 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Cantor set is not a T1 space because it contains points that are neither open nor closed.

Which of the following is an example of a space that is not a T2 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Sierpinski space is not a T2 space because it contains points that cannot be separated by open sets.

Which of the following is an example of a space that is not a T3 space?

  1. The Sorgenfrey line

  2. The Cantor set

  3. The Sierpinski space

  4. The real line with the usual topology


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The Sierpinski space is not a T3 space because it contains closed sets that are not Gδ sets.
