Basic statements

Hausdorff spaces are sober
schemes are sober
continuous images of compact spaces are compact
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
quotient projections out of compact Hausdorff spaces are closed precisely if the codomain is Hausdorff
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces are normal
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
closed injections are embeddings
proper maps to locally compact spaces are closed
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings
locally compact and sigma-compact spaces are paracompact
locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact
second-countable regular spaces are paracompact
CW-complexes are paracompact Hausdorff spaces

Idea

A kind of topological space about which one can reason “effectively”, hence constructively. Used in computable analysis, see at computable function (analysis).

formal topology Every effective topological space $X$ defines a formal space. If $X$ is ‘constructively complete’, then the formal points of $X$ coincide with its effective points; see Spreen10.
