Co-Compact Separation Axioms and Slight Co-Continuity

Abstract

Via co-compact open sets we introduce co-T2 as a new topological property. We show that this class of topological spaces strictly contains the class of Hausdorff topological spaces. Using compact sets, we characterize co-T2 which forms a symmetry. We show that co-T2 propoerty is preserved by continuous closed injective functions. We show that a closed subspace of a co-T2 topological space is co-T2. We introduce co-regularity as a weaker form of regularity, s-regularity as a stronger form of regularity and co-normality as a weaker form of normality. We obtain several characterizations, implications, and examples regarding co-regularity, s-regularity and co-normality. Moreover, we give several preservation theorems under slightly coc-continuous functions.
