A topological space is a set XX together with a collection TT of subsets of XX. The elements of TT are called the open sets and they satisfy the following properties:

  1. XTX\in T and T\emptyset \in T.
  2. Arbitrary unions of open sets are open.
  3. Finite intersections of open sets are open.

TT is called a topology on XX.
