Let $A$ be a set, $\mid A \mid$=$\aleph_0$ (assume that A$ \subseteq$$\mathbb{R}$) ,
and let $\chi$=$\{\tau\subseteq$$P(A)$$\mid$$($A,$\tau$$)$is a Hausdorff space, $\mid \tau \mid$=$\aleph$$\}$ .
($P(A)$ is the power set of $A$)
What is the "value" of $\mid \chi \mid$ $?$
The question is basically how many Hausdorff topologies $\tau$ ($\mid \tau \mid=\aleph$) (up to isomorphism) are exist on a set $A$, $\mid A \mid=\aleph_0$.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that there is at least one topology as I mentioned before:
For example:
The set is $\mathbb{Q}$ and the topology $\tau$ is Subspace topology of the euclidean metric on $\mathbb{R}$ (its Hausdorff).
Obviously $\mid \mathbb{Q} \mid$=$\aleph_0$, and we know that the base of $\tau$ in $\mathbb{R}$ is all the open intervals, hence $\mid \tau \mid$ on $\mathbb{Q}$ is $\aleph$.
Hence $\chi \neq \emptyset$.
What is $\mid \chi \mid$?

There are at most $\kappa:=2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ topologies on $A$. Also, there are that many non-equivalent free ultrafilters on $A$, and each of those gives rise that a mutually non-homeomorphic Hausdorff topology on $A$ (by using it as the set of neighbourhoods of a unique non-isolated point). So there are $\kappa$ many Hausdorff topologies on $A$ (all of size of the reals). The answer is thus the size of the power set of $\Bbb R$.
