Lemma 5.8.7. Let X be a topological space and let Y\subset X.

  1. If X is Kolmogorov then so is Y.

  2. Suppose Y is locally closed in X. If X is quasi-sober then so is Y.

  3. Suppose Y is locally closed in X. If X is sober then so is Y.

Proof. Proof of (1). Suppose X is Kolmogorov. Let x,y\in Y with x\neq y. Then \overline{\overline{\{ x\} }\cap Y}=\overline{\{ x\} }\neq \overline{\{ y\} }= \overline{\overline{\{ y\} }\cap Y}. Hence \overline{\{ x\} }\cap Y\neq \overline{\{ y\} }\cap Y. This shows that Y is Kolmogorov.

Proof of (2). Suppose X is quasi-sober. It suffices to consider the cases Y is closed and Y is open. First, suppose Y is closed. Let Z be an irreducible closed subset of Y. Then Z is an irreducible closed subset of X. Hence there exists x \in Z with \overline{\{ x\} } = Z. It follows \overline{\{ x\} } \cap Y = Z. This shows Y is quasi-sober. Second, suppose Y is open. Let Z be an irreducible closed subset of Y. Then \overline{Z} is an irreducible closed subset of X. Hence there exists x \in \overline{Z} with \overline{\{ x\} }=\overline{Z}. If x\notin Y we get the contradiction Z=Z\cap Y\subset \overline{Z}\cap Y=\overline{\{ x\} }\cap Y=\emptyset . Therefore x\in Y. It follows Z=\overline{Z}\cap Y=\overline{\{ x\} }\cap Y. This shows Y is quasi-sober.

Proof of (3). Immediately from (1) and (2). \square
