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 definitions #
TopologicalSpace.IsTopologicalBasis s
: The topological spacet
has basiss
.TopologicalSpace.SeparableSpace α
: The topological spacet
has a countable, dense subset.TopologicalSpace.IsSeparable s
: The sets
is contained in the closure of a countable set.FirstCountableTopology α
: A topology in which𝓝 x
is countably generated for everyx
.SecondCountableTopology α
: A topology which has a topological basis which is countable.
Main results #
TopologicalSpace.FirstCountableTopology.tendsto_subseq
: In a first-countable space, cluster points are limits of subsequences.TopologicalSpace.SecondCountableTopology.isOpen_iUnion_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.TopologicalSpace.SecondCountableTopology.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).
For every point
x
, the set oft ∈ s
such thatx ∈ t
is directed downwards.The sets from
s
cover the whole space.- eq_generateFrom : t = TopologicalSpace.generateFrom s
The topology is generated by sets from
s
.
Instances For
If a family of sets s
generates the topology, then 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
TopologicalSpace.exists_countable_dense
. If α
is also known to be nonempty, then
TopologicalSpace.denseSeq
provides a sequence ℕ → α
with dense range, see
TopologicalSpace.denseRange_denseSeq
.
If α
is a uniform space with countably generated uniformity filter (e.g., an EMetricSpace
), then
this condition is equivalent to SecondCountableTopology α
. In this case the
latter should be used as a typeclass argument in theorems because Lean can automatically deduce
TopologicalSpace.SeparableSpace
from SecondCountableTopology
but it can't
deduce SecondCountableTopology
from TopologicalSpace.SeparableSpace
.
Porting note (https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/issues/11215): TODO: the previous paragraph describes the state of the art in Lean 3. We can have instance cycles in Lean 4 but we might want to postpone adding them till after the port.
There exists a countable dense set.

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 TopologicalSpace.SeparableSpace s
or
TopologicalSpace.IsSeparable (univ : Set s))
. In metric spaces, the two definitions are
equivalent, see TopologicalSpace.IsSeparable.separableSpace
