About Spacebook


What is Spacebook?

Spacebook is a searchable database of topological spaces and their properties (in ZFC) inspired by Steen and Seebach’s Counterexamples in Topology.


How do I use it?

  • If your question is “Which spaces have this property, but not that property?”, visit the search page.
  • If your question is “Which properties does a particular space possess?”, visit the list page.


Where can I find more information about the spaces and properties?


How can I contribute?

  • Report any incorrect claims you encounter.
  • View a space in detail on the list page to see gaps in the database’s knowledge.
  • Suggest a new space with a particularly rare combination of properties.
  • Suggest an interesting property not appearing in the database.
