Maximal perfect spaces

Abstract

Let (X, T) be a topological space (we assume T1. throughout) where every point is a limit point. The purpose of this note is to present an internal construction of a maximal perfect topology on (X, T). The existence of a maximal connected Hausdorff space has not been demonstrated. However, this construction of a maximal perfect topology is useful in constructing connected Hausdorff spaces which cannot be embedded in a maximal connected Hausdorff space.
