Definition
A topological space [math](X,\mathcal{J})[/math] is connected if there is no separation of [math]X[/math]
Separation
This belongs on this page because a separation is only useful in this definition.
A separation of [math]X[/math] is a pair of two non-empty open sets [math]U,V[/math] where [math]U\cap V=\emptyset[/math] where [math]U\cup V=X[/math]
Equivalent definition
We can also say: A topological space [math](X,\mathcal{J})[/math] is connected if and only if the sets [math]X,\emptyset[/math] are the only two sets that are both open and closed.
