Topological space that is homeomorphic to a metric space
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a metrizable space is a topological space that is homeomorphic to a metric space. That is, a topological space is said to be metrizable if there is a metric such that the topology induced by is [1][2]Metrization theorems are theorems that give sufficient conditions for a topological space to be metrizable.
