Idea

In topology, a separable metric space is a topological space that is both separable and metrizable.

Properties

Dimension

Proposition

For separable metric spaces, the following notions of dimension all (exist and) coincide and are thus uniformly referred to as the dimension of a separable metric space:

  1. small and large inductive dimension;

  2. covering dimension.

(e.g. Engelking 78, Theorem 1.7.7)
