Most of the spaces studied in Algebraic Topology, such as CW-complexes or manifolds, are Hausdorff. In contrast, finite topological spaces are rarely Hausdorff. A topological space with finitely many points, each of which is closed, must be discrete.
text: If (X,#92;tau) is a topological space, then a cover #92;mathcalB is open if each B#92;in#92;mathcalB is an open set. A topological space (X,#92;tau) is compact if every open cover of X has a finite subcover.

examples: text: […] successful companies are often risk averse and reluctant to go into uncharted white spaces that might require new strengths and whole new business models. […] What does it take to go after a white space, that is, a brand new business opportunity? It all depends on the nature of the opportunity and on the nature of the customers being served. It’s best explained by contrasting core, adjacent, and white space opportunities.

text: We’re gonna go after a white space, which is very high quality content in this short form, bringing together the best of Hollywood and the best of Silicon Valley.

text: Duncan: How can people get in the habit of using what you call white space to reboot their exhausted minds?
 Funt: Let’s define it first. White space is the open time, the stepping back, the strategic pause; it’s the oxygen that allows our efforts to catch fire. […] Instead of perusing impossible stretches of white space in a packed day, we look for tiny opportunities to insert an interstitial second or two- a little wedge of white space. These sips of open time can be used to reboot, to gain objectivity or to digest the intense portions of information we’re fed all day.

In this chapter, we recall the definition of the category of Σ_*-objects and we review the relationship between Σ_*-objects and functors. In short, a Σ_*-object (in English words, a symmetric sequence of objects, or simply a symmetric object) is the coefficient sequence of a generalized symmetric functor S(M):X→S(M,X), defined by a formula of the form
S(M,X)=⨁ ᪲ᵣ₌₀(M(r)⊗X)_(Σᵣ).
