Connected subsets of topological spaces #

In this file we define connected subsets of a topological spaces and various other properties and classes related to connectivity.

Main definitions #

We define the following properties for sets in a topological space:

For each of these definitions, we also have a class stating that the whole space satisfies that property: ConnectedSpace, TotallyDisconnectedSpace, TotallySeparatedSpace.

On the definition of connected sets/spaces #

In informal mathematics, connected spaces are assumed to be nonempty. We formalise the predicate without that assumption as IsPreconnected. In other words, the only difference is whether the empty space counts as connected. There are good reasons to consider the empty space to be “too simple to be simple” See also https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/too+simple+to+be+simple, and in particular https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/too+simple+to+be+simple#relationship_to_biased_definitions.
