Definition:Metrizable Topology

Definition
Let $\left({S, d}\right)$ be a metric space.

Let $\left({S, \vartheta_{\left({S, d}\right)}}\right)$ be the topological space induced by $d$.

Then for any topological space which is homeomorphic to such a $\left({S, \vartheta_{\left({S, d}\right)}}\right)$, it and its topology are defined as metrizable.

Not all topological spaces are metrizable - see, for example, Indiscrete Topology Not Metrizable.

Linguistic Note
The UK English spelling of this is metrisable, but it is rarely found.
