Let X be a second countable metric spaces(X has a countable dense
subset)
can we assigne a unique topology to X(The Topology Of its countable
dense subset)??namely if Y and Z be two countable dense subsets is Y~Z
As a sample:are the following two topological spaces homeomorph?:
rational number and Algebraic irrational nummber(both are countable
dense subsets of R)
thanks

Is this last X the same or different than the X's in the first line?

Because X is 2nd countable metric, it has at most countably many
open singletons S = { x | {x} open }. Let Y be countable dense
subset. Then S subset Y; Y\S homeomorphic Q by theorem below.

When S is finite Y = disjoint sum Y\S + S homeomorphic
disjoint sum Q + F where F is finite discrete space of size |S|.
The same also for any other countable dense set of X.

When S infinite, X may have non-homeomorphic countable dense subsets.
For example X = R/\(-oo,0] \/ 1/N where 1/N = { 1/n | n in N }
has countable dense subset Q/\(-oo,0] \/ 1/N and Q/\(-oo,0) \/ 1/N.
Or X = 1/N \/ {0} with countable dense subsets X and 1/N.

Thus if X is 2nd countable regular T0 space with at most finite
many open singletons or if X is countable discrete space,
countable dense subsets of X are homeomorphic.

Yes, by a Theorem of Sierpinski (circa 1920)
A space S is homeomorphic to the rationals if it is:
countable, 2nd countable, regular T0, free of isolated points.

The answer is "yes", and follows from a classical theorem of
Sierpinski asserting that all countable metric spaces with no isolated
points are homeomorphic to the rationals.
