Definition

The subspace operator is a property modifier that takes as input a property of topological spaces, and outputs the property of being a topological space which embeds as a subspace of some topological space with property . Note that is a fixed-point of the subspace operator iff is itself subspace-hereditary.

A related, but opposite, operator is the hereditarily operator.
