Abstract

A topological space X is said to be unicoherent provided that it is connected and for every two closed connected sets A and B with X, which is equal to A⋃B, the intersection A∩B is connected. Euclidean spaces ℝn, cubes [0, 1]n for any positive integer n, spheres Sn for n ≥ 2, real projective spaces Pn(ℝ) also for n ≥ 2, Hilbert cube [0, 1]ω and solenoids are unicoherent, while the circle S1, the torus S1 ×S1 and the Mˆbius band are not. The notion of unicoherence is a special case of a general concept of multicoherence. The concept of unicoherence has been modified in several ways. A connected space X is said to be weakly unicoherent provided that for every two closed connected sets A and B, one of which is compact, if X = A ∪ B then A ∩ B is connected.
