Definition

Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.

A $G_\delta$ set ($G$-delta set) is a set which can be written as a countable intersection of open sets of $T$.

Linguistic Note

The name $G_\delta$ originates from the German:

G for Gebiet, which is German for area or neighborhood (used in the sense open set in this case)
$\delta$ (Greek d) for Durchschnitt, which is German for set intersection.
