Bases of topologies. Countability axioms. #
A topological basis on a topological space t
is a collection of sets,
such that all open sets can be generated as unions of these sets, without the need to take
finite intersections of them. This file introduces a framework for dealing with these collections,
and also what more we can say under certain countability conditions on bases,
which are referred to as first- and second-countable.
We also briefly cover the theory of separable spaces, which are those with a countable, dense
subset. If a space is second-countable, and also has a countably generated uniformity filter
(for example, if t
is a metric space), it will automatically be separable (and indeed, these
conditions are equivalent in this case).

Main results #
first_countable_topology.tendsto_subseq
: In a first-countable space, cluster points are limits of subsequences.second_countable_topology.is_open_Union_countable
: In a second-countable space, the union of arbitrarily-many open sets is equal to a sub-union of only countably many of these sets.second_countable_topology.countable_cover_nhds
: Considerf : α → set α
with the property thatf x ∈ 𝓝 x
for allx
. Then there is some countable sets
whose image covers the space.
Implementation Notes #
For our applications we are interested that there exists a countable basis, but we do not need the
concrete basis itself. This allows us to declare these type classes as Prop
to use them as mixins.

A topological basis is one that satisfies the necessary conditions so that it suffices to take unions of the basis sets to get a topology (without taking finite intersections as well).
If a family of sets s
generates the topology, then nonempty intersections of finite
subcollections of s
form a topological basis.
If a family of open sets s
is such that every open neighbourhood contains some
member of s
, then s
is a topological basis.
A set s
is in the neighbourhood of a
iff there is some basis set t
, which
contains a
and is itself contained in s
.
Any open set is the union of the basis sets contained in it.
A point a
is in the closure of s
iff all basis sets containing a
intersect s
.
A set is dense iff it has non-trivial intersection with all basis sets.
A separable space is one with a countable dense subset, available through
topological_space.exists_countable_dense
. If α
is also known to be nonempty, then
topological_space.dense_seq
provides a sequence ℕ → α
with dense range, see
topological_space.dense_range_dense_seq
.
If α
is a uniform space with countably generated uniformity filter (e.g., an emetric_space
),
then this condition is equivalent to topological_space.second_countable_topology α
. In this case
the latter should be used as a typeclass argument in theorems because Lean can automatically deduce
separable_space
from second_countable_topology
but it can't deduce second_countable_topology
and emetric_space
.
A nonempty separable space admits a sequence with dense range. Instead of running cases
on the
conclusion of this lemma, you might want to use topological_space.dense_seq
and
topological_space.dense_range_dense_seq
.
If α
might be empty, then exists_countable_dense
is the main way to use separability of α
.
A dense sequence in a non-empty separable topological space.
If α
might be empty, then exists_countable_dense

The sequence dense_seq α
has dense range.
In a separable space, a family of nonempty disjoint open sets is countable.
In a separable space, a family of disjoint sets with nonempty interiors is countable.
A set s
in a topological space is separable if it is contained in the closure of a
countable set c
. Beware that this definition does not require that c
is contained in s
(to
express the latter, use separable_space s
or is_separable (univ : set s))
. In metric spaces,
the two definitions are equivalent, see topological_space.is_separable.separable_space
.
If α
is a separable space and f : α → β
is a continuous map with dense range, then β
is
a separable space as well. E.g., the completion of a separable uniform space is separable.
Let s
be a dense set in a topological space α
with partial order structure. If s
is a
separable space (e.g., if α
has a second countable topology), then there exists a countable
dense subset t ⊆ s
such that t
contains bottom/top element of α
when they exist and belong
to s
. For a dense subset containing neither bot nor top elements, see
dense.exists_countable_dense_subset_no_bot_top
.
If α
is a separable topological space with a partial order, then there exists a countable
dense set s : set α
that contains those of both bottom and top elements of α
that actually
exist. For a dense set containing neither bot nor top elements, see
exists_countable_dense_no_bot_top
.

A first-countable space is one in which every point has a countable neighborhood basis.
In a first-countable space, a cluster point x
