Incorrect paragraph in the lead
[edit]Fréchet–Urysohn spaces are the most general class of spaces for which sequences suffice to determine all topological properties of subsets of the space. That is, Fréchet–Urysohn spaces are exactly those spaces for which knowledge of which sequences converge to which limits (and which sequences do not) suffices to completely determine the space's topology.
: This is incorrect.
The most general class of spaces in question is the class of sequential spaces and not the Frechet-Urysohn spaces, since knowing which sequences converge to which limits determines the sequentially closed (or open) sets, hence the closed (or open) sets in a sequential space, that is, it uniquely determines the topology in the sequential case.

Sequential and Fréchet–Urysohn
[edit]A more direct way to see that Fréchet–Urysohn implies sequential would be using the following characterizations
Sequential space: for every subset
Fréchet–Urysohn space: for every subset 129.104.241.214 (talk) 16:56, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
