In topology and related branches of mathematics, a connected space is a topological space that cannot be represented as the union of two or more disjoint non-empty open subsets. Connectedness is one of the principal topological properties that are used to distinguish topological spaces. A subset of a topological space is a connected set if it is a connected space when viewed as a subspace of . Some related but stronger conditions are , simply connected, and -connected. Another related notion is locally connected, which neither implies nor follows from connectedness.
