In topology, an indiscrete space is a topological space with the indiscrete topology, in which the only open subsets are the empty subset and the space itself.
Properties
- An indiscrete space is metrizable if and only if it has at most one point
- An indiscrete space is compact.
- An indiscrete space is connected.
- Every map from a topological space to an indiscrete space is continuous.
