Is there some place (on the internet or elsewhere) where I can find the number and preferably a list of all (isomorphism classes of) finite connected $T_0$-spaces with, say, 5 points?

In know that a $T_0$-topology on a finite set is equivalent to a partial ordering, and wikipedia tells me that there are, up to isomorphism, 63 partially ordered sets with precisely 5 elements. However, I am only interested in connected spaces, and I'd love to have a list (most preferably in terms of Hasse diagrams).

I also asked this at math.stackexchange.com/questions/7295/… but did not receive much response. – Rasmus Oct 21 2010 at 17:01

There is a Java applet that displays all 5-element connected posets at http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/gap/posets.html.

I don't get it to work. Do you also see just one yellow thing if you try, and don't know what to do with that? – Rasmus Oct 21 2010 at 18:09

It worked o.k. for me. I got the Hasse diagrams of all connected 5-element posets by clicking on "All connected Posets with 5 elements". – Richard Stanley Oct 22 2010 at 2:11

Ok, thank you for the information. – Rasmus Oct 22 2010 at 13:41

At the online encyclopedia of integer sequences we find, when we type T_0 topologies several hits. Sequence A028856 is the sequence of homeomorphism classes of T_0 topologies, and A028858 has all connected ones (308 topologies of which 235 connected, on 5 points). No explicit list of spaces, though, but some literature references that might help.

	I think the number 235 refers to 6-point spaces, doesn't it? For the second number in the sequence, 3, should refer to 3-point spaces (on a set with two elements there is only one connected T_0 topology. – Rasmus Oct 21 2010 at 17:49
	So, the number I asked for is 44, I guess. – Rasmus Oct 21 2010 at 17:52

Is there a list of all connected T_0-spaces with 5 points?
