Connected subsets of a cofinite space
ID: connected-subsets-of-a-cofinite-space
For a set with its cofinite topology, a subset is a connected subset exactly when is empty, a singleton, or infinite. Indeed, its subspace topology is the cofinite topology on : the traces of open sets are precisely for finite , together with the empty set. For infinite , two nonempty open sets intersect, because their complements have finite union. Hence is a hyperconnected space and therefore a connected space. A finite has the discrete topology, which admits a separation of a topological space as soon as has at least two points.
