A universal coregular countable second-countable space
Abstract
A Hausdorff topological space is called (resp. ) if for any nonempty open sets , the intersection of their closures is not empty (resp. the complement is a regular topological space). A canonical example of a coregular superconnected space is the projective space of the topological vector space over the field of rationals . The space is the quotient space of by the equivalence relation iff . We prove that every countable second-countable coregular space is homeomorphic to a subspace of , and a topological space is homeomorphic to if and only if is countable, second-countable, and admits a decreasing sequence of closed sets such that (i) , , (ii) for every and a nonempty open set the closure contains some set , and (iii) for every the complement is a regular topological space. Using this topological characterization of we find topological copies of the space among quotient spaces, orbit spaces of group actions, and projective spaces of topological vector spaces over countable topological fields.
