Some authors call spaces as above totally disconnected. However, a space is commonly called totally disconnected if for all $x\notin y$ in $X$ there is a [[Open-closed set|closed and open set]] $C$ such that $x\in C$ and $y\notin C$. A closed and open set is also called a clopen set.

hereditarily disconnected space

A topological space which contains no connected sets with more than one point.


Comments

Some authors call spaces as above totally disconnected. However, a space is commonly called totally disconnected if for all $x\notin y$ in $X$ there is a closed and open set $C$ such that $x\in C$ and $y\neq C$. A closed and open set is also called a clopen set.

See also Totally-disconnected space.
