$X={1,2,3},U={∅,{1},{1,2},{1,2,3}}$ Is $(X,U)$ Hausdorff space?

$begingroup$



Consider $X={1,2,3}$ and a topology
$$U={∅,{1},{1,2},{1,2,3}}$$
Is $(X,U)$ a Hausdorff space?




My solution:
Points $x$ and $y$ in a topological space $X$ can be separated by neighbourhoods if there exists a neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ and a neighbourhood $V$ of $y$ such that $U$ and $V$ are disjoint ($U ∩ V = ∅)$.
$X$ is a Hausdorff space if all distinct points in $X$ are pairwise neighborhood-separable.
So by the defintion we pick element 1 and 2. The "smallest" neighbourhood of 1 is ${1}$, and of 2 is ${1,2}$. And intersection isn't the empty set. So this isn't true.

My question is this approach ok? Can we say that neighbourhood of 1 is ${1}$?

          Your approach is fine. ${1}$ is definitely a neighborhood of $1$ (that's what it means when ${1}$ appears in the definition of $U$ like that), and in this case each element actually has a smallest neighborhood, so it suffices to use those to prove / disprove Hausdorff-ness.
