Feb 9, 2013 at 18:08 comment added Samuel Vidal "disconnected" and "connected" not forming a dichotomy : brilliant, that's the point !
Feb 5, 2013 at 19:10 comment added Andrew D. King I agree, and would point out, in case anyone is uncomfortable with "disconnected" and "connected" not forming a dichotomy, that neither do "closed" and "open".
Feb 4, 2013 at 18:41 comment added Terry Tao I sometimes like to call the empty space the (unique) example of an unconnected space (neither connected (i.e. one connected component) nor disconnected (i.e. two or more connected components)).
Feb 1, 2013 at 23:51 comment added Tom Goodwillie I like to say that a space is disconnected if it may be partitioned into two (nonempty) closed sets, and that a space is connected if it is not disconnected and not empty, either. In other words, I call the empty space neither connected nor disconnected. But that's just me.
