Paracompact Hausdorff Spaces
Paracompact spaces are sometimes required to also be Hausdorff to extend their properties.
- (Theorem of Jean Dieudonné) Every paracompact Hausdorff space is normal.
- Every paracompact Hausdorff space is a shrinking space, that is, every open cover of a paracompact Hausdorff space has a shrinking: another open cover indexed by the same set such that the closure of every set in the new cover lies inside the corresponding set in the old cover.
- On paracompact Hausdorff spaces, the cohomology of a sheaf is equal to its Čech cohomology.

Famous quotes containing the word spaces:
“In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.””
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
