Part IB, 2008

Explain what it means for a topological space to be connected.

Are the following subspaces of the unit square [0,1]×[0,1][0,1] \times[0,1] connected? Justify your answers.

(a) {(x,y):x0,y0\{(x, y): x \neq 0, y \neq 0, and x/yQ}x / y \in \mathbb{Q}\}.

(b) {(x,y):(x=0)\{(x, y):(x=0) or (x0(x \neq 0 and yQ)}y \in \mathbb{Q})\}.
