Definition:T5 Space/Definition 1

Definition
Let $T = \left({S, \tau}\right)$ be a topological space.

$\left({S, \tau}\right)$ is a $T_5$ space :


 * $\forall A, B \subseteq S, A^- \cap B = A \cap B^- = \varnothing: \exists U, V \in \tau: A \subseteq U, B \subseteq V, U \cap V = \varnothing$

That is:
 * $\left({S, \tau}\right)$ is a $T_5$ space when for any two separated sets $A, B \subseteq S$ there exist disjoint open sets $U, V \in \tau$ containing $A$ and $B$ respectively.
