In point-set topology, a branch of mathematics, a Peano space, named after Giuseppe Peano, is a compact, connected, locally connected metric space.
[edit] Properties
- Every Peano space is arcwise connected, more generally every open connected subset of a Peano space is arcwise connected.
- Hahn-Mazurkiewicz theorem: A Hausdorff space is a continuous image of the unit interval if and only if it is a Peano space.
