Definition
Let $S$ be a set.
Let $\PP$ be a partition of $S$.
Let $\tau$ be the set of subsets of $S$ defined as:
- $a \in \tau \iff a$ is the union of sets of $\PP$
Then $\tau$ is a partition topology on $S$, and $\struct {S, \tau}$ is a partition (topological) space.
The partition $\PP$ is the basis of $\struct {S, \tau}$.
