Domain of Continuous Injection to Hausdorff Space is Hausdorff

Theorem
Let $T_\alpha = \struct {S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}$ and $T_\beta = \struct {S_\beta, \tau_\beta}$ be topological spaces.

Let $f: S_\alpha \to S_\beta$ be a continuous mapping which is an injection.

If $T_\beta$ is a $T_2$ (Hausdorff) space, then $T_\alpha$ is also a $T_2$ (Hausdorff) space.

Proof
Let $x, y \in S_\alpha$ be distinct points.

We want to find disjoint open sets $U, V \in \tau_\alpha$ containing $x$ and $y$ respectively.

Since $f$ is injective the points $\map f x, \map f y \in S_\beta$ are distinct.

By assumption $T_\beta$ is Hausdorff.

Therefore we can choose disjoint open sets $U', V'$ of $T_\beta$ such that $\map f x \in U'$ and $\map f y \in V'$.

Since $f$ is continuous, the sets $U = f^{-1} \sqbrk {U'}$ and $V = f^{-1} \sqbrk {V'}$ are open.

Moreover we have $x \in U$ and $y \in V$.

Finally we show that the sets $U$ and $V$ are disjoint.

Suppose $z \in U \cap V$.

Then by the definition of $U$, $V$ we have $\map f z \in U'$ and $\map f z \in V'$.

This is a contradiction, since $U' \cap V' = \O$.
