$T_2$-space
A topological space in which any two (distinct) points are separated by disjoint neighbourhoods (see Hausdorff axiom). Hausdorff spaces need not be regular spaces nor a fortiori completely-regular spaces, even when they consist only of a countable set of points or have a countable base. They were first considered by F. Hausdorff in 1914, see [1].
