Apr 11, 2019 at 23:25 comment added Ramiro de la Vega Here math.stackexchange.com/a/2794129/94514 is a proof that the one point compactification of the rationals is not a continuous image of (so it is not a quotient of) a compact Hausdorff space.
Apr 11, 2019 at 22:07 comment added YCor @NateEldredge I've understood the question with the usual definition of quotient topology.
Apr 11, 2019 at 22:06 comment added Rick Sternbach It is the usual one, not the identification space. Although examples involving identification space is of course welcome. But this is equivalent to the quotient case, since identification map is just a quotient map onto a closed subspace.
Apr 11, 2019 at 21:40 comment added Nate Eldredge "Quotient" here has a different definition than the usual one, I guess. It should be a new topology on X, rather than on the set of equivalence classes?
Apr 11, 2019 at 19:46 comment added Rick Sternbach Any such space would be compactly generated, maybe this gives some hints.
Apr 11, 2019 at 19:44 comment added Rick Sternbach I also suspect most of affine algebraic varieties with Zariski topology would be such examples, but again I have no proof or disproof of this.

Apr 11, 2019 at 19:04 comment added YCor What about an infinite countable set with the compact topology whose nonempty open subsets are the cofinite subsets? I don't see at the moment whether it's quotient of a Hausdorff compact space.
