Basic concepts
fiber space, space attachment
Extra stuff, structure, properties

sequentially compact, countably compact, locally compact, sigma-compact, paracompact, countably paracompact, strongly compact
Examples
Basic statements
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings
locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact

For a subset of a topological space , a, interior point of is a point which has a neighbourhood in that is contained in . The union of all interior points is the interior of . It can be defined as the largest open set contained in .
In general, we have . is open if and only if , so that in particular . This makes the interior operator a co-closure operator. It also satisfies the equations and . Moreover, any co-closure operator on that preserves finite intersections must be the interior operation for some topology, namely the family consisting of fixed points of ; this gives one of many equivalent ways to define a topological space.
Compare the topological closure and frontier .
The interior of a subtopos of a Grothendieck topos , as well as the exterior, were defined in an exercise in SGA4: as the largest open subtopos contained in . The boundary of a subtopos is then naturally defined as the subtopos complementary to the (open) join of the exterior and interior subtoposes in the lattice of subtoposes.
Let be a topological space and let be a subset. Then the topological interior of equals the complement of the topological closure of the complement of :
