"A connected space is a topological space that cannot be represented as the union of two or more disjoint non-empty open subsets."
A topological space is connected if it cannot be separated into two non-empty, disjoint open subsets. This concept is used to describe the topological properties of spaces.
Topological Spaces: Definition and Basic Properties.
Continuous Functions: Definition and Basic Properties.
Separation Properties: T0, T1, T2, T3, T4.
Connectedness: Definition and Basic Properties.
Compactness: Definition and Basic Properties.
Topological Invariants: Homotopy, Homology, Cohomology.
Fundamental Groups and Covering Spaces: Fundamental groups and covering spaces explore the topological properties of spaces and their connectivity through the study of loops and covering maps.
Manifolds and Smooth Structures: Manifolds and smooth structures deal with the study of curved surfaces and the notion of smoothness on them.
Metric Spaces and Uniform Spaces: Metric spaces and uniform spaces are two fundamental mathematical structures used to study notions of distance and continuity, with the former defining distance between points and the latter defining a generalized notion of distance between sets.
Category Theory and Topology: Category Theory: Category theory is a branch of mathematics that studies mathematical structures and relationships between them, focusing on the properties and formalisms common to different categories.
Topology: Topology is the branch of mathematics that studies properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, considering concepts like boundaries, open and closed sets, and the connectedness and compactness of spaces.
Connected Set: A set is connected if it cannot be divided into two disjoint non-empty sets.
Path-connected Set: A set is path-connected if any two points in the set can be connected by a continuous path.
Simply Connected Set: A set is simply connected if it is path-connected and any closed curve in the set can be continuously contracted to a single point.
Locally Connected Set: A set is locally connected if, for every point in the set, there exists a connected neighborhood around that point.
Totally Disconnected Set: A set is totally disconnected if it has no non-trivial connected subsets.
Separation Properties: These include T0, T1, T2, and T3 properties, which are used to describe the separation of points or sets in a topological space.
Compact Space: A space is compact if every open cover has a finite subcover.
Hausdorff Space: A space is Hausdorff if any two distinct points have disjoint neighborhoods.
Metric Space: A space is metric if it has a metric (distance function) that satisfies certain properties.
Topological Manifold: A space is a topological manifold if it is locally Euclidean, meaning that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to a Euclidean space.
"Connectedness is one of the principal topological properties that are used to distinguish topological spaces."
"A subset of a topological space X is a connected set if it is a connected space when viewed as a subspace of X."
"Some related but stronger conditions are path connected, simply connected, and n-connected."
"Another related notion is locally connected, which neither implies nor follows from connectedness."
