Topological Space - Classification of Topological Spaces

Classification of Topological Spaces

Topological spaces can be broadly classified, up to homeomorphism, by their topological properties. A topological property is a property of spaces that is invariant under homeomorphisms. To prove that two spaces are not homeomorphic it is sufficient to find a topological property not shared by them. Examples of such properties include connectedness, compactness, and various separation axioms.

See the article on topological properties for more details and examples.

    through the spaces of the dark
    Midnight shakes the memory
    As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
