Description: Define a space that is
n-locally , where is a topological
property like "compact", "connected", or
"path-connected". A
topological space is n-locally if every neighborhood of a point
contains a sub-neighborhood that is in the subspace topology.
The terminology "n-locally", where 'n' stands for
"neighborhood", is not
standard, although this is sometimes called "weakly locally ".
The reason for the distinction is that some notions only make sense for
arbitrary neighborhoods (such as "locally compact", which is
actually
𝑛Locally in our terminology - open compact sets are not very
useful), while others such as "locally connected" are strictly
weaker
notions if the neighborhoods are not required to be open. (Contributed
