relatively prime integer topology
Let be the set of strictly positive integers. The relatively prime integer topology on is the topology determined by a basis consisting of the sets
for any and are relatively prime integers. That this does indeed form a basis is found in this entry. (http://planetmath.org/HausdorffSpaceNotCompletelyHausdorff)
Equipped with this topology, is (http://planetmath.org/T0Space), (http://planetmath.org/T1Space),and (http://planetmath.org/T2Space), but satisfies none of the higher separation axioms (and hence meet very few compactness criteria).
We can define a coarser topology on by considering the subbasis of the above basis consisting of all with being a prime. This is called the prime integer topology on .
