Etymology

After German mathematician Felix Hausdorff (1868-1942).

Noun

Hausdorff space (plural Hausdorff spaces)

1. (topology) A topological space in which for any two distinct points x and y, there is a pair of disjoint open sets U and V such that ${\displaystyle x\in U}$ and ${\displaystyle y\in V}$.

More generally, each compact subset of a Hausdorff space is closed. [] Metric spaces and compact Hausdorff spaces enjoy an even stronger separation property; in either case, disjoint closed sets can always be separated by disjoint open sets.

In 1953, Grothendieck [G] characterized locally convex Hausdorff spaces which have the Dunford-Pettis property and used this property to characterize weakly compact operators u : C(K) → F, where K is a compact Hausdorff space and F is a locally compact Hausdorff space (briefly, lcHs) which is complete.

Our construction of βD is a special case of more general constructions in which compact Hausdorff spaces are obtained using sets which are maximal subject to having certain algebraic properties.
