# Perfectly normal space

In the T family (properties of topological spaces related to separation axioms), this is called: T6

This is a variation of normality. View other variations of normality

## Definition

A topological space is termed perfectly normal if it is normal and every closed subset is a G-delta subset ($G_\delta$).

## Formalisms

### Subspace property implication formalism

This property of topological spaces can be encoded by the fact that one subspace property implies another

Modulo the assumption of the space being T1, the property of being perfectly normal can be encoded as:

Closed $\implies$ $G_\delta$

## Metaproperties

### Hereditariness

This property of topological spaces is hereditary, or subspace-closed. In other words, any subspace (subset with the subspace topology) of a topological space with this property also has this property.

Any subspace of a perfectly normal space is perfectly normal.
