The pair $(X, d)$ is a \textbf{metric space}, which comes with the metric uniformity induced by $d$, and the corresponding topology.

\end{definition}

\begin{proposition}
|
||||
\label{proposition:separable-metric-space}
|
||||
Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space, then the following are equivalent:
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item $X$ is second countable.
|
||||
\item $X$ is Lindelöf.
|
||||
\item $X$ is separable.
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, since second countability is hereditary, separability and the Lindelöf property are both hereditary in metric spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
\end{proposition}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $\seqi{U} \subset 2^X$ be an open cover of $X$. Let $\seq{V_n} \subset 2^X$ be a countable base for the topology on $X$, and
|
||||
\[
|
||||
K = \bracs{n \in \natp| \exists i \in I: V_n \subset U_i}
|
||||
\]
|
||||
|
||||
For any $x \in X$, there exists $i \in I$ such that $x \in U_i$, and $n \in \natp$ such that $x \in V_n \in U_i$. Therefore $\bigcup_{k \in K}V_k = X$.
|
||||
|
||||
Let $J \subset I$ be countable such that for each $k \in K$, there exists $j \in J$ with $V_n \subset U_j$, then $X = \bigcup_{k \in K}V_k = \bigcup_{j \in J}V_j$.
|
||||
|
||||
% TODO: This stuff may be moved to more general spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (3): Let $n \in \nat$, then $\bracs{B(x, 1/n)|x \in X}$ is an open cover of $X$, so there exists $\seq{x_{n, k}} \subset X$ such that $X = \bigcup_{k \in \natp}B(x_k, 1/n)$. Let $D = \bracs{x_{n, k}| n, k \in \natp}$, then for any $x \in X$ and $n \in \natp$, there exists $k \in \natp$ such that $x \in B(x_{n, k}, 1/n)$, so $x_{n, k} \in B(x, 1/n)$. Therefore $D$ is dense in $X$, and $X$ is separable.
|
||||
|
||||
(3) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Let $\seq{x_n} \subset X$ be a countable dense subset. Let $x \in X$ and $k \in \natp$, then there exists $x_n \in \natp$ such that $d(x, x_n) < 1/(2k)$. In which case, $x \in B(x_n, 1/(2k)) \subset B(x_n, 1/k)$. Therefore $\bracs{B(x_n, 1/k)|n, k \in \natp}$ forms a countable basis for $X$.
