of a subset of a topological space

The system of intersections of all possible open subsets of (i.e. of elements of the topology ) with . The relative topology is often called the induced topology.

A subset of the topological space equipped with the relative topology is called a subspace of . A subspace of a -space is itself a -space, (cf. Separation axiom). A subspace of a metrizable space is itself metrizable. Any Tikhonov space of weight is homeomorphic to a subspace of a Hausdorff compactum of weight (Tikhonov's theorem).
