| | Gravity: Notation and Definitions |
 | | A topological space in which, for every pair of nonidentical points p and q, there exist two open sets P and Q containing them, that do not intersect (that is, whose intersection is empty). |
 | | It is a major theorem that every Hausdorff space is a metric space, that is, it has a distance function (and vice versa, an easy theorem). |
 | | A manifold is a Hausdorff space, with a countable basis of open sets, such that a neighborhood of every point (some open set containing the point) is homeomorphic to R |
