List of topologies

Main article: List of topology topics

The following is a list of named topologies or topological spaces, many of which are counterexamples in topology and related branches of mathematics. This is not a list of properties that a topology or topological space might possess; for that, see List of general topology topics and Topological property.

Widely known topologies

• The Baire space − $\mathbb {N} ^{\mathbb {N} }$ with the product topology, where $\mathbb {N}$ denotes the natural numbers endowed with the discrete topology. It is the space of all sequences of natural numbers.
• Cantor set − A subset of the closed interval $[0,1]$ with remarkable properties.
  • Cantor dust
• Discrete topology − All subsets are open.
• Euclidean topology − The natural topology on Euclidean space $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$ induced by the Euclidean metric, which is itself induced by the Euclidean norm.
• Indiscrete topology, chaotic topology, or Trivial topology − Only the empty set and its complement are open.
• Klein bottle
• Real projective line
• Torus
  • 3-torus
  • Solid torus

Counter-example topologies

The following topologies are a known source of counterexamples for point-set topology.

• Appert topology − A Hausdorff, perfectly normal (T₆), zero-dimensional space that is countable, but neither first countable, locally compact, nor countably compact.
• Arens–Fort space − A Hausdorff, regular, normal space that is not first-countable or compact. It has an element (i.e. $p:=(0,0)$) for which there is no sequence in $X\setminus \{p\}$ that converges to $p$ but there is a sequence $x_{\bullet }=\left(x_{i}\right)_{i=1}^{\infty }$ in $X\setminus \{(0,0)\}$ such that $(0,0)$ is a cluster point of $x_{\bullet }.$
• Branching line − A non-Hausdorff manifold.
• Bullet-riddled square - The space $[0,1]^{2}\setminus \mathbb {Q} ^{2},$ where $[0,1]^{2}\cap \mathbb {Q} ^{2}$ is the set of bullets. Neither of these sets is Jordan measurable although both are Lebesgue measurable.
• Comb space
• Dogbone space
• Dunce hat (topology)
• E₈ manifold − A topological manifold that does not admit a smooth structure.

• K-topology
• Lens space
• Lexicographic order topology on the unit square
• Line with two origins, also called the bug-eyed line − It is a non-Hausdorff manifold and a locally regular space but not a semiregular space.
• Long line (topology)
• Moore plane, also called the Niemytzki plane − A first countable, separable, completely regular, Hausdorff, Moore space that is not normal, Lindelöf, metrizable, second countable, nor locally compact. It also an uncountable closed subspace with the discrete topology.
• Overlapping interval topology − Second countable space that is T₀ but not T₁.
• Particular point topology − Assuming the set is infinite, then contains a non-closed compact subset whose closure is not compact and moreover, it is neither metacompact nor paracompact.
• Prüfer manifold − A Hausdorff 2-dimensional real analytic manifold that is not paracompact.
• Smith–Volterra–Cantor set − A closed nowhere dense (and thus meagre) subset of the unit interval $[0,1]$ that has positive Lebesgue measure.
• Sorgenfrey line, which is $\mathbb {R}$ endowed with lower limit topology − It is Hausdorff, perfectly normal, first-countable, separable, paracompact, Lindelöf, Baire, and a Moore space but not metrizable, second-countable, σ-compact, nor locally compact.
• Sorgenfrey plane, which is the product of two copies of the Sorgenfrey line − A Moore space that is neither normal, paracompact, nor second countable.
• Topologist's sine curve
• Tychonoff plank
• Vague topology
• Warsaw circle
• Whitehead manifold − An open 3-manifold that is contractible, but not homeomorphic to $\mathbb {R} ^{3}.$

Hyperbolic geometry

• Gieseking manifold − A cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume.
• Horosphere
  • Horocycle

Paradoxical spaces

Pathological embeddings of spaces

Unique

• Hantzsche–Wendt manifold − A compact, orientable, flat 3-manifold. It is the only closed flat 3-manifold with first Betti number zero.
