Hausdorff space

Hausdorffness is preserved by subspaces, products, and coproducts, but not quotients

Let 𝑋 be a Hausdorff space and 𝑖 :𝑌 𝑋 be a continuous injection. Then 𝑌 is Hausdorff. Similarly, if {𝑋𝛼}𝛼𝐴 is a family of Hausdorff spaces, then the product 𝛼𝐴𝑋𝛼 and coproduct 𝛼𝐴𝑋𝛼 is also Hausdorff. #m/thm/topology

Proof

Then for any 𝑥,𝑦 𝑌 where 𝑥 𝑦, we have 𝑖(𝑥) 𝑖(𝑦) by injectivity and there exist disjoint open neighbourhoods 𝑈,𝑉 𝑋 of 𝜄(𝑥) and 𝜄(𝑦) respectively. Then 𝑖1(𝑈),𝑖1(𝑉) are disjoint open neighbourhoods of 𝑥,𝑦 respectively. Therefore 𝑌 is Hausdorff.
