Baire Space


A Baire space is a topological space X in which each subset of X of the first category has an empty interior. A topological space which is homeomorphic to a complete metric space is a Baire space.

In descriptive set theory, the name Baire space also denotes the particular topological space NN with the product topology, where each factor N has the discrete topology. Its points are infinite sequences of natural numbers. This space is homeomorphic to the irrational numbers with their usual relative topology. It is a Baire space in the category sense, but that property does not characterize this particular space (Kechris 1995).
