Locally Hausdorff space
In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be locally Hausdorff if every point has an open neighbourhood that is a Hausdorff space under the subspace topology.[1]

Examples and sufficient conditions
- Every Hausdorff space is locally Hausdorff.
- There are locally Hausdorff spaces where a sequence has more than one limit. This can never happen for a Hausdorff space.
- The line with two origins is locally Hausdorff (it is in fact locally metrizable) but not Hausdorff.
- The etale space for the sheaf of differentiable functions on a differential manifold is not Hausdorff, but it is locally Hausdorff.
- A T1 space need not be locally Hausdorff; an example of this is an infinite set given the cofinite topology.
- Let be a set given the particular point topology. Then is locally Hausdorff at precisely one point. From the last example, it will follow that a set (with more than one point) given the particular point topology is not a topological group. Note that if is the 'particular point' of and y is distinct from then any set containing that doesn't also contain inherits the discrete topology and is therefore Hausdorff. However, no neighborhood of is actually Hausdorff so that the space cannot be locally Hausdorff at
- If is a topological group that is locally Hausdorff at some point then is Hausdorff. This follows from the fact that if there exists a homeomorphism from to itself carrying to so is locally Hausdorff at every point, and is therefore T1 (and T1 topological groups are Hausdorff).
