# Connected subsets of topological spaces

In this file we define connected subsets of a topological spaces and various other properties and
classes related to connectivity.

## Main definitions

We define the following properties for sets in a topological space:

* `is_connected`: a nonempty set that has no non-trivial open partition.
  See also the section below in the module doc.
* `connected_component` is the connected component of an element in the space.
* `is_totally_disconnected`: all of its connected components are singletons.
* `is_totally_separated`: any two points can be separated by two disjoint opens that cover the set.

For each of these definitions, we also have a class stating that the whole space
satisfies that property:
`connected_space`, `totally_disconnected_space`, `totally_separated_space`.

## On the definition of connected sets/spaces

In informal mathematics, connected spaces are assumed to be nonempty.
We formalise the predicate without that assumption as `is_preconnected`.
In other words, the only difference is whether the empty space counts as connected.
There are good reasons to consider the empty space to be “too simple to be simple”
See also https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/too+simple+to+be+simple,
and in particular
https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/too+simple+to+be+simple#relationship_to_biased_definitions.
