In the mathematical field of topology, a Gδ set is a subset of a topological space that is a countable intersection of open sets. The notation originated in Germany with G for (German: area, or neighbourhood) meaning open set in this case and δ for (German: intersection). The term inner limiting set is also used. Gδ sets, and their dual Fσ sets, are the second level of the Borel hierarchy.
In a topological space a Gδ set is a countable intersection of open sets. The Gδ sets are exactly the level sets of the Borel hierarchy.
A more elaborate example of a Gδ set is given by the following theorem:
Theorem: The set contains a dense Gδ subset of the metric space . (See Weierstrass function#Density of nowhere-differentiable functions.)
