For point x in a discrete subset s of a topological space, there is a set U such that

  1. U is a punctured neighborhood of x (ie. U ∪ {x} is a neighbourhood of x),
  2. U is disjoint from s.

Let X be a topological space and let s, t ⊆ X be two subsets. If there is an inclusion t ⊆ s, then the topological space structure on t induced by X is the same as the one obtained by the induced topological space structure on s.

This lemma characterizes discrete topological spaces as those whose singletons are neighbourhoods.
