Theorem

Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a be a $T_0$ space.


Then it is not necessarily the case that $T$ is a $T_1$ space.


Proof

Proof by Counterexample:

Let $T$ be the overlapping interval space.


From Existence of Topological Space which satisfies no Separation Axioms but $T_0$, we have that:

$T$ is a $T_0$ space

but:

$T$ is not a $T_1$ space.

The result follows.
