A space in which the closure of every open set is open.
The closure of every open set in $X$ is open (hence clopen).

Equivalently, a space in which any two disjoint open sets have disjoint closures.
Equivalently, any two disjoint open sets have disjoint closures.

Defined in problem 15G of {{zb:1052.54001}} and problem 1H of {{doi:10.1007/978-1-4615-7819-2}}.

{{doi:1007/978-1-4612-6290-9}} defines it on page 32 with the additional assumption of {P3}, which we do not assume here.

#### Meta-properties

- This property is hereditary with respect to open sets (see Problem 15G.2 in {{zb:1052.54001}}).
- This property is hereditary with respect to dense sets (see {{mathse:3769214}}).

The closure of every cozero set in $X$ is open (hence clopen).

A *cozero set* is a set of the form $\{x\in X:f(x)>0\}$ for some continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb R$;
equivalently, the complement of a zero set.

Equivalently, any two disjoint open sets, at least one of which is a cozero set, have disjoint closures.

Defined in problem 1H of {{doi:10.1007/978-1-4615-7819-2}}.

No additional separation axiom is assumed here.

Every clopen set in a topological space is a cozero set.
On the other hand, if $X$ is {P147}, since every zero set is an intersection of countably many open sets, every zero set is clopen, and so is every cozero set.
So given a cozero set $U$ in $X$, its complement $X\setminus U$ is also a cozero set,
and their union is obviously dense in $X$.
Suppose $X$ satisfies the hypotheses. Then $X$ is {P6}.
And if $U$ is a cozero set, its closure $\overline U$ is clopen, as is $X\setminus\overline U$.
So $U$ and $X\setminus\overline U$ are disjoint cozero sets who union is dense in $X$.

Evident, as every cozero set is an open set.

Follows from the definitions since in a {P15} space open sets are cozero sets.

Every cozero set is open and an $F_\sigma$ set, which is closed in a {P147}.
Hence every cozero set is clopen and its closure is open.

See Figure 1 on page 346 of {{zb:1059.54001}}.

If $X$ is {P60}, the only cozero sets are $\emptyset$ and $X$, which are clopen.

Suppose $X$ satisfies the hypotheses.
Given an open neighborhood $U$ of a point $p$, there is a continuous map $f:X\to[0,1]$ such that $f(p)=0$ and $f(x)=1$ outside of $U$.
The set $V=\{x\in X:f(x)<1/2\}$ is a cozero set with $p\in V\subseteq\overline V\subseteq U$.
Its closure $\overline V$ is a clopen neighborhood of $p$ contained in $U$.
