  Tychonoff space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
X is a completely regular space iff, given any closed set F and any point x that does not belong to F, there is a continuous function f from X to the real line R such that f(x) is 0 and f(y) is 1 for every y in F.
Tychonoff spaces are precisely those topological spaces which can be embedded in a compact Hausdorff space.
It is characterised by the universal property that, given a continuous map f from X to any other compact Hausdorff space Y, there is a unique continuous map g from βX to Y that extends f in the sense that f is the composition of g and j.

 Baire space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ignoring spaces with isolated points, which are their own interior, a Baire space is "large" in the sense that it cannot be constructed as a countable union of its points.
Note that the space of rational numbers with the usual topology inherited from the reals is not a Baire space, since it is the union of countably many closed sets without interior, the singletons.
Every non-empty Baire space is of second category in itself, and every intersection of countably many dense open subsets of X is non-empty, but the converse of neither of these is true, as is shown by the topological disjoint sum of the rationals and the unit interval [0, 1].

 Station Information - Baire space
Every space that is homeomorphic to an open subset of a complete pseudometric space is a Baire space (this includes the irrational numbers with their standard topology, as well as the Cantor set).
Note that the space of rational numbers with the usual topology inherited from the reals is not a Baire space, since it is the union of countably many closed sets without interior, the singletonss.
In particular, every non-empty Baire space is of second category in itself, and every intersection of countably many dense open subsets of X is non-empty, but the converse of neither of these is true, as is shown by the topological disjoint sum of the rationals and the unit interval [0,1].

 Metric space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Since metric spaces are topological spaces, one has a notion of continuous function between metric spaces.
An important consequence is that every metric space admits partitions of unity and that every continuous real-valued function defined on a closed subset of a metric space can be extended to a continuous map on the whole space (Tietze extension theorem).
The original space M is thus isometrically isomorphic to a subspace of a complete metric space, and it is usually identified with this subspace.

A useful characterisation of compactness for metric spaces is that a metric space is compact if and only if it is complete and totally bounded.

A metric space is a space where a distance between points is defined.
A metric space in which every Cauchy sequence has a limit is said to be complete.
A metric space M is called bounded if there exists some number r > 0 such that d(x,y) ≤ r for all x and y in M (not to be confused with "finite", which refers to the number of elements, not to how far the set extends; finiteness implies boundedness, but not conversely).

In this formalism, we consider the difference between maps to be the distance between elements of a pseudometric space (the space of all such maps).
Implicit in the literature on these two mechanisms is that the parameter space available for binary formation in a star forming region varies with the cloud temperature.
For each physical characteristic of interest, this formal system assigns a distance function (a pseudometric) to the space of all maps; this procedure allows us to measure quantitatively the difference between any two maps and to order the space of all maps.

The theorem has two forms, each of which gives sufficient conditions for a topological space to be a Baire space.
Note that neither of these statements implies the other, since there is a complete metric space which is not locally compact (the Baire space of irrational numbers), and there is a locally compact Hausdorff space which is not metrizable (uncountable Fort space).
Relation to AC The proofs of BCT1 and BCT2 require some form of the axiom of choice; and in fact the statement that every complete pseudometric space is a Baire space is logically equivalent to a weaker version of the axiom of choice called the axiom of dependent choice.

In this view, one could define metrizable topological spaces as those that come from a metric, and pseudo-metrizable topological spaces as those whose KQ comes from a metric.
But placing structures on a topological space is more general (or can be, depending on how you define structure), and almost any structure used in practice can be transferred this way, whether it uniquely defines the topology or not.
And saying that the KQ of a pseudometric space is a metric space is certainly saying more than that the KQ of a pseudometrisable space is a metrisable space; the KQ doesn't just give you the property of being pseudometrisable but the structure of having a specific pseudometric.

Then a sequence of zero functions converges in pseudometric to the characteristic function of N even though 0 is strongly measurable and the characteristic function of N is not.
For instance, if the measure space is [0,1] with Lebesgue measure, let N be an uncountable set with measure 0, and let f map the points of N to a non-separable range; then f is not strongly measurable but f is equivalent to strongly measurable functions.)
In the proof that (B) implies (C) and (E) in normed spaces, the last part of the argument is missing a few steps.

Let X and Y be complete metric spaces and f_n : X --> Y continuous, with f_n --> f pointwise.
For example, if T_n is a continuous linear operator from one Banach space X to another, and T_n converges pointwise to T, then T must be continuous at SOME point, hence at ALL points; this is the most-frequently-used consequence of the Uniform Boundedness Principle.
nu implies their continuity on this metric space; hence the limit, mu, is continuous at SOME point; continuity at SOME point implies continuity at the empty set; which in turn implies continuity at all points; which in turn implies mu is a measure.
