In [[mathematics]] a [[topological space]] is called '''separable''' if it contains a [[countable set|countable]], [[dense (topology)|dense]] subset; that is, there exists a [[sequence]] <math>\{ x_n \}_{n=1}^{\infty} </math> of elements of the space such that every nonempty [[open subset]] of the space contains at least one element of the sequence.
 
Like the other [[axioms of countability]], separability is a "limitation on size", not necessarily in terms of [[cardinality]] (though, in the presence of the [[Hausdorff space|Hausdorff axiom]], this does turn out to be the case; see below) but in a more subtle topological sense. In particular, every [[continuous function]] on a separable space whose image is a subset of a Hausdorff space is determined by its values on the countable dense subset.
 
Contrast separability with the related notion of [[second countability]], which is in general stronger but equivalent on the class of [[metrizable]] spaces.
 
==First examples==
Any topological space which is itself [[finite set|finite]] or [[countably infinite]] is separable, for the whole space is a countable dense subset of itself. An important example of an uncountable separable space is the [[real line]], in which the [[rational numbers]] form a countable dense subset. Similarly the set of all vectors <math>(r_1,\ldots,r_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n</math> in which <math>r_i</math> is rational for all ''i'' is a countable dense subset of <math>\mathbb{R}^n</math>; so for every <math>n</math> the <math>n</math>-dimensional [[Euclidean space]] is separable.
 
A simple example of a space which is not separable is a [[discrete space]] of uncountable cardinality.
 
Further examples are given below.
 
==Separability versus second countability==
Any [[second-countable space]] is separable: if <math>\scriptstyle \{U_n\}</math> is a countable base, choosing any <math>\scriptstyle x_n \in U_n</math> from the non-empty <math>\scriptstyle U_n</math> gives a countable dense subset. Conversely, a [[metrizable space]] is separable if and only if it is second countable, which is the case if and only if it is [[Lindelöf space|Lindelöf]].
 
To further compare these two properties:
* An arbitrary [[subspace (topology)|subspace]] of a second countable space is second countable; subspaces of separable spaces need not be separable (see below).
* Any continuous image of a separable space is separable {{harv|Willard|1970|loc=Th. 16.4a}}.; even a [[quotient topology|quotient]] of a second countable space need not be second countable.
* A [[product topology|product]] of at most continuum many separable spaces is separable. A countable product of second countable spaces is second countable, but an uncountable product of second countable spaces need not even be first countable.
 
==Cardinality==
The property of separability does not in and of itself give any limitations on the [[cardinality]] of a topological space: any set endowed with the [[trivial topology]] is separable, as well as second countable, [[quasi-compact]], and [[connected space|connected]]. The "trouble" with the trivial topology is its poor separation properties: its [[Kolmogorov quotient]] is the one-point space.
 
A [[first countable]], separable Hausdorff space (in particular, a separable metric space) has at most the [[cardinality of the continuum|continuum cardinality]] ''c''. In such a space, [[closure (topology)|closure]] is determined by limits of sequences and any sequence has at most one limit, so there is a surjective map from the set of convergent sequences with values in the countable dense subset to the points of X.
 
A separable Hausdorff space has cardinality at most <math>2^c</math>, where ''c'' is the cardinality of the continuum. For this closure is characterized in terms of limits of [[filter (mathematics)#Filters in topology|filter bases]]: if ''Y'' is a subset of ''X'' and ''z'' is a point of ''X'', then ''z'' is in the closure of ''Y'' if and only if there exists a filter base ''B'' consisting of subsets of ''Y'' which converges to ''z''. The cardinality of the set <math>S(Y)</math> of such filter bases is at most <math>2^{2^{|Y|}}</math>. Moreover, in a Hausdorff space, there is at most one limit to every filter base. Therefore, there is a surjection <math>S(Y) \rightarrow X</math> when <math>\bar Y=X.</math>
 
The same arguments establish a more general result: suppose that a Hausdorff topological space ''X'' contains a dense subset of cardinality <math>\kappa</math>.
Then ''X'' has cardinality at most <math>2^{2^{\kappa}}</math> and cardinality at most <math>2^{\kappa}</math> if it is first countable.
 
The product of at most continuum many separable spaces is a separable space {{harv | Willard | 1970 | loc=Th 16.4c | p=109 }}. In particular the space <math>\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{R}}</math> of all functions from the real line to itself, endowed with the product topology, is a separable Hausdorff space of cardinality <math>2^c</math>. More generally, if κ is any infinite cardinal, then a product of at most 2<sup>κ</sup> spaces with dense subsets of size at most κ has itself a dense subset of size at most κ ([[Hewitt–Marczewski–Pondiczery theorem]]).
 
==Constructive mathematics==
Separability is especially important in [[numerical analysis]] and [[Mathematical constructivism|constructive mathematics]], since many theorems that can be proved for nonseparable spaces have constructive proofs only for separable spaces. Such constructive proofs can be turned into [[algorithm]]s for use in numerical analysis, and they are the only sorts of proofs acceptable in constructive analysis. A famous example of a theorem of this sort is the [[Hahn–Banach theorem]].
 
==Further examples==
===Separable spaces===
* Every compact [[metric space]] (or metrizable space) is separable.
* The space of all continuous functions from a [[Compact space|compact]] subset of '''R'''<sup>n</sup> into '''R''' is separable.
* The [[Lp space|Lebesgue spaces]] '''L'''<sup>p</sup>, over a [[separable measure space]], are separable for any 1 ≤ ''p'' < ∞.
* Any topological space which is the union of a countable number of separable subspaces is separable. Together, these first two examples give a different proof that ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space is separable.
* It follows from the [[Stone-Weierstrass theorem|Weierstrass approximation theorem]] that the set '''Q'''[t] of polynomials with rational coefficients is a countable dense subset of the space C([0,1]) of [[continuous function]]s on the [[unit interval]] [0,1] with the metric of [[uniform convergence]]. The [[Banach-Mazur theorem]] asserts that any separable [[Banach space]] is isometrically isomorphic to a closed [[linear subspace]] of C([0,1]).
* A [[Hilbert space]] is separable if and only if it has a countable [[orthonormal basis]], it follows that any separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is isometric to ℓ<sup>2</sup>.
* An example of a separable space that is not second-countable is '''R'''<sub>llt</sub>, the set of real numbers equipped with the [[lower limit topology]].
 
===Non-separable spaces===
* The [[first uncountable ordinal|first uncountable ordinal ω<sub>1</sub>]] in its [[order topology]] is not separable.
* The [[Banach space]] ''l''<sup>∞</sup> of all bounded real sequences, with the [[uniform norm|supremum norm]], is not separable. The same holds for '''L'''<sup>∞</sup>.
* The [[Banach space]] of [[Bounded variation|functions of bounded variation]] is not separable; note however that this space has very important applications in [[mathematics]], [[physics]] and [[engineering]].
 
==Properties==
* A [[subspace (topology)|subspace]] of a separable space need not be separable (see the [[Sorgenfrey plane]] and the [[Moore plane]]), but every ''open'' subspace of a separable space is separable, {{harv|Willard|1970|loc=Th 16.4b}}. Also every subspace of a separable [[metric space]] is separable.
* In fact, every topological space is a subspace of a separable space of the same [[cardinality]]. A construction adding at most countably many points is given in {{harv|Sierpinski|1952|p=49}}.
* The set of all real-valued continuous functions on a separable space has a cardinality less than or equal to ''c''. This follows since such functions are determined by their values on dense subsets.
* From the above property, one can deduce the following: If ''X'' is a separable space having an uncountable closed discrete subspace, then ''X'' cannot be [[normal space|normal]]. This shows that the [[Sorgenfrey plane]] is not normal.
*For a [[compact space|compact]] [[Hausdorff space|Hausdorff]] space ''X'', the following are equivalent:
::(i) ''X'' is second countable.
::(ii) The space <math>\mathcal{C}(X,\mathbb{R})</math> of continuous real-valued functions on ''X'' with the [[uniform norm|supremum norm]] is separable.
::(iii) ''X'' is metrizable.
 
===Embedding separable metric spaces===
* Every separable metric space is [[homeomorphic]] to a subset of the [[Hilbert cube]]. This is established in the proof of the [[Urysohn metrization theorem]].
* Every separable metric space is [[Isometry|isometric]] to a subset of the (non-separable) [[Banach space]] ''l''<sup>∞</sup> of all bounded real sequences with the [[uniform norm|supremum norm]]; this is known as the Fréchet embedding. {{harv | Heinonen | 2003}}
* Every separable metric space is isometric to a subset of C([0,1]), the separable Banach space of continuous functions [0,1]→'''R''', with the [[uniform norm|supremum norm]]. This is due to [[Stefan Banach]]. {{harv | Heinonen | 2003}}
* Every separable metric space is isometric to a subset of the [[Urysohn universal space]].
