 Baire space 

In topology, a Baire space is a particular type of topological space in which, intuitively, there are "enough" points for certain limit processes.

A topological space X is called a Baire space if it satisfies one (and therefore all) of the following equivalent conditions:

  1. Every intersection of countably many dense open sets is dense.
  2. If X is non-empty, then every intersection of countably many dense open sets is also non-empty.
  3. The interior of every union of countably many nowhere dense sets is empty.
  4. Whenever the union of countably many closed subsets of X has an interior point, then one of the closed subsets must have an interior point.
  5. If X is non-empty, then X is of second category. (Unions of countably many nowhere dense sets are called sets of first category or meagre; sets which are not of first category are sets of second category. Note that thisn'tion of "category" has nothing to do with category theory.)

In proofs, condition 4 is commonly used to show that certain interior points must exist.

Examples of Baire spaces:

Note that the space of rational numbers with their ordinary topology are not a Baire space, since they are the union of countably many nowhere dense sets, the singletons.

One arrest has been made. The ministry's years ago but kept mum. even.html">Even low-level prefectural bureaucrats and teachers in Japan build receipts. Japanese citizens' groups conservatively estimated that in 1994 were faked, a practice known as "kara shutcho" (i.e., empty existence of a 100 million yen secret fund.
