of a subset $A$ of a topological space $(X,\tau)$
The system $\tau_A$ of intersections of all possible open subsets of $(X,\tau)$ (i.e. of elements of the topology $\tau$) with $A$: $$ \tau_A = \{ A \cap U : U \in \tau \} \ . $$ The relative topology is often called the induced topology or subspace topology
A subset of the topological space $(X,\tau)$ equipped with the relative topology is called a subspace of $(X,\tau)$. A subspace of a $T_i$-space is itself a $T_i$-space, $i=0,1,2,3,31/2$ (cf. Separation axiom). A subspace of a metrizable space is itself metrizable. Any Tikhonov space of weight $\leq\theta$ is homeomorphic to a subspace of a Hausdorff compactum of weight $\leq\theta$ (Tikhonov's theorem).
