1. Introduction
Hyperspace
topology
was
first
initiated
and
extensively
studied
by
F. Hausdorff. Hyperspace is the collection of certain subsets of a topology space, equipped with a
suitable topology. In the study of hyperspace topology, the first step towards topologizing a collection of
subsets of a topological space X was taken by Hausdorff [2], after that many famous mathematicians
have tried in multi various ways to topologize suitably different collections of subsets of a topological
space, some of them are Kuratowski, Vietoris, Michael, McCOY and Fell. In this paper the concepts of
*-semi open, *-semi closed, a new topology *(X), H-semi closed and semi-Urysohn are introduced.
Some interesting properties of *(X) are discussed.
2. Preliminaries
Definition 2.1 [3]
A point x  X is said to be a -contact point of a set A  X if for every neighbourhood U of x,
clX U
 A  .
The se of all -contact points of a set A is called the -closure of A and denote this set by -clX
A. A set A is called -closed if A =  clX A.
A set A is called -open if X \ A is -closed.
Remark 2.1

G. Vasuki, E. Roja and M.K. Uma
The collection of all -open sets in a space X forms a topology on X. In this connection (X) a
new topology T is defined as (X) = {A  X; A   and A is
-closed in X} where X is a topological space.
Definition 2.2 [3]
A T2-space X is called H-closed if any open cover u of X has a finite proximate subcover, i.e., a
finite subcollection uo of u whose union is dense in X.
A set A  X is called an H-set if any cover {U :   } of A by open sets in
X has a finite subfamily { U α : i = 1, 2, …n} such that A 

Definition 2.3 [1]
A topological space is a T0-space iff for each pair x and y of distinct points, there is a
neighbourhood of one point to which the other does not belong.
Definition 2.4 [1]
A topological space is a T1-space iff each set which consists of a single point is closed.
Definition 2.5 [1]
A topological space is a T2-space iff whenever x and y are distinct points of the space there
exists disjoint neighbourhoods of x and y.
Definition 2.6 [1]
A set A is dense in a topological space X iff the closure of A is X.
3. *(X) with A new topology
Definition 3.1
Let x be a point in a topology space (X, T). A set U in X is said to be semi neighbourhood of X
if there exists a semi open set G in X such that x  G  U.
Definition 3.2
Let (X, T) be a topological space. Let A be a subset of (X, T). The intersection of all semi
closed sets containing A is called the semi closure of A and is denoted scl(A).
That is, scl(A) =
 { B  P (X) / A  B, B is semi closed set in X }
Definition 3.3
A point x  X is said to be a *-semi contact point of a set A  X if for every semineighbourhood U of x, sclXU
 A  .
The set of all *-semi contact points of a set A is called the *-sclosure of A and denote this set
by *-sclXA.
A set A is called *-semi closed if A = *-sclXA. A set A is called
*-semi open if X \ A is *-semi closed.
Remark 3.1
The collection of all *-semi open sets in a space X forms a topology
on X.
Definition 3.4
Let X be a topological space, *(X) is said to be new topology if
*(X) = {A  X; A   and A is *-semi closed in X}
*(X) a new topology on T is denoted by (*(X), T)
Definition 3.5
A topological space is a sT2 space iff whenever x and y are disTinct points of the space there
exists disjoint semi neighbourhoods of x and y.
Definition 3.6
A set A is semidense in a topological space X iff the semiclosure of
A is X.

subcover, that is, a finite subcollection Uo of U whose union is semi dense in X.

Definition 3.9
A topological space is a sTo space iff for each pair x and y of distinct points, there is a semineighbourhood of one point to which the other does not belong.

Since

Definition 3.10
A topological space is a sT1 space iff each set which consists of a single point is semi-closed.
Proposition 3.2
X is sT2 iff {a} is *-semi closed for each a  X.
Proof
Let X be sT2 and a  X. We prove that X \ {a} is *-open. Let x  X \ {a}. Since X is ST2 there
exists two disjoint semi open neighbourhood U, V of x and a respectively. Thus U

V =   sclX U

{a}.
So
X \ {a} is *-semi open which implies that {a} is *-semi closed.
Conversely, let {a} be *-semi closed for all a  X. Let x, y  X be such that
x  y. Since {y} is *-semi closed, there exists a semi open neighbourhood U of x such that y  sclX U
and hence y  X / sclX U. But x  U and U

(X / sclXU) = . Hence
X is sT2.
Proposition 3.3
(*(X), T) is sT1 if X is sT2.
Proof
Let A, B  * (X) be such that A  B. Without loss of generality let A

B. Then A
 (X \ B)  

 A  (X \ B) which is a semi open set in (*(X), T) since (X \ B) is *-semi open. Also there exists a
 A such that a  B. Then B  (X \ {a})+. Since X is sT2, by proposition 3.2, {a} is *-semi closed and
hence X \ {a} is *-semi open. Also {a} is a H-semi set for each a  A. Hence (X \ {a}+ is semi open in
(*(X), T). Thus (*(X), T) is sT1.
Definition 3.11
Let < s,  > be a semi Urysohn space iff x, y  s with x  y implies that there exists U, V  
with x  U, y  V and scl (U)

scl (V) = .
Proposition 3.4
(*(X), T) is sT2 if X is semi Urysohn and H-semi closed.
Proof
Let A, B  *(X) be such that A ≠ B. Without loss of generality let A

B. Then there exists a
 A such that a  B. Since B  *(X), a  B = *-sclXB. Thus there exists a semi neighbourhood U of a

Proposition 3.6
(*(X), T) is H-semi closed if X is semi Urysohn and H-semi closed.
Proof
Let {Yi} be a universal net of elements of *(X). Define Z = {x  X : for each semi open

neighbourhood U of x, {Yi} is eventually in {(sclXU) }. Choose yi  Yi. Then {yi}is a net in X which is
H-semi closed and sT2. Hence {yi} has a *-converget subnet {yni} say *-converging to y. Then for any

semi-open neighbourhood W of y, {yni} is eventually in sclXW, ie, {Yni} is eventually in (sclXW) and

hence {Yi} is eventually in (sclXW) because of the universality of {Yi}. Thus yZ and Z  . To show
that Z *(X), let {x} be a net in Z *-converging to xX. Let U be an arbitrary semi open

Since
X

X is almost semi regular. Hence there exists a semi open neighbourhood V of x such that x V  sclXV

Thus X is semi-Urysohn.
Definition 3.13
A space X is locally *-H if X contains a base B for its topology such that for each B  B, sclx
B is an H-semiset and *-semi closed.
Proposition 3.9
If X is H-semi closed and semi-Urysohn, then X is locally *-H.
Proof
Let B be a base for the topology of X. Then for each x  X, there exists a basic semi open set B

B,
such
that
x

B.
Now,
B
being
semi
open,
sclx B= *-sclx B. Also, X being H-semi closed and semi-Urysohn, sclx B is
semi-*-closed and an H-semi set since *- closed subset of an H-semi closed space is an H-semi set.
Hence
B
is
the
required
base
for
X
such
that
for
each
B  B, sclx B is an H-semi set and semi *-closed. Hence X is locally *- H.
Proposition 3.10
If X is sT2, locally *-H and (*(X), T) is H-semi closed, then X is
H-semi closed.
Proof
Let B be a base for the topology of X such that for each B  B, sclXB is a
*-semiclosed and H-semi set. Let U = {U :   } be a semi open cover of X. Without loss of
generality, assume that U belongs to B. We have to prove that there is a natural number n and there
exists

If A  *(X), then A is a subset of X and intersects a U; so,

a finite proximate subcover of *(X), that is, *(X) = scl*(X) (

W is *-semi open set and X \ W is an H-semi set. Since X is sT2, {x} is
*-semi closed, so {x}  W+. On the other hand, there is i  {1, 2, ….n} such that
