Closed point

In mathematics, a closed point of a topological space is a point whose singleton is closed. In many areas of geometry and topology, all spaces under consideration are T1 spaces that only have closed points. The distinction between closed and non-closed points is most often made in algebraic geometry, where schemes can have non-closed points.
