Assuming excluded middle, then:
Every Hausdorff topological space is a sober topological space.
More specifically, in a Hausdorff topological space the irreducible closed subspaces are precisely the singleton subspaces.
The second statement clearly implies the first. To see the second statement, suppose that is an irreducible closed subspace which contained two distinct points . Then by the Hausdorff property there are disjoint neighbourhoods , and hence it would follow that the relative complements and were distinct proper closed subsets of with
in contradiction to the assumption that is irreducible.
This proves by contradiction that every irreducible closed subset is a singleton. Conversely, generally the topological closure of every singleton is irreducible closed.
There are many examples of sober spaces which are not Hausdorff. For example, the spectrum of a ring which is not zero-dimensional is sober but not Hausdorff.
Any Hausdorff space is not only sober, but also . However, even the converse to this fails. For example, let be the real line with a new point added, topologized such that any open set in the real line is open, and any cofinite set containing is open. Then is sober and but not Hausdorff.
maps from compact spaces to Hausdorff spaces are closed and proper
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
