From top to bottom: red space A, pink space B, yellow space C and orange space D are all connected spaces, whereas green space E (made of subsets E1, E2, E3, and E4) is disconnected. Furthermore, A and B are also simply connected (genus 0), while C and D are not: C has genus 1 and D has genus 4.
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 path connected, simply connected, and -connected. Another related notion is locally connected, which neither implies nor follows from connectedness.
