Ultraconnected space

In mathematics, a topological space is said to be ultraconnected if no two nonempty closed sets are disjoint.[1] Equivalently, a space is ultraconnected if and only if the closures of two distinct points always have non trivial intersection. Hence, no T1 space with more than one point is ultraconnected.[2]

Properties

[edit]

Every ultraconnected space is path-connected (but not necessarily arc connected). If and are two points of and is a point in the intersection , the function defined by if , and if , is a continuous path between and .[2]

Every ultraconnected space is normal, limit point compact, and pseudocompact.[1]

Examples

[edit]

The following are examples of ultraconnected topological spaces.
