Unicoherent

From Free net encyclopedia

A topological space <math>X</math> is said to be unicoherent if it is connected and the following property holds:

For any closed, connected <math>A, B \subset X</math> with <math>X=A \cup B</math>, the intersection <math>A \cap B</math> is connected.

For example, any closed interval on the real line is unicoherent, but a circle is not.
