Weak Hausdorff space

Weak Hausdorff space

In mathematics, a weak Hausdorff space is a topological space where the image of every continuous map from a compact Hausdorff space into the space is closed. [cite web |url=http://neil-strickland.staff.shef.ac.uk/courses/homotopy/cgwh.pdf |title=Compactly Generated Spaces] In particular, every Hausdorff space is weak Hausdorff.

The notion was introduced by M. C. McCord [http://resources.metapress.com/pdf-preview.axd?code=r1ht453824877223&size=large] to remedy an inconvenience of working with the category of Hausdorff spaces. It is often used in tandem with compactly generated spaces in algebraic topology.
