A subset $F$ of a topological space $X$ which is both closed and dense-in-itself (that is, has no isolated points). In other words, $F$ coincides with its [[Derived set|derived set]]. A perfect topological space is therefore a topological space with no isolated points. Examples are $\mathbb R^n$ and $\mathbb C^n$ (with the standard topology induced by the Euclidean distance), the [[Cantor set|Cantor set]] (which is a perfect subset of $\mathbb R$) and the [[Baire space]].
