- I hope this isn't homework!
-
- The cofinite topology (closed <=> finite) on a countable set is
- compact, hyperconnected, hence connected and locally connected,
- but not path connected or locally path connected.
-
- Such questions can usually be resolved by reference to that
- splendid work "Counteraxamples in Topology" by L.A. Steen and
- J.A. Seebach jr, Springer-Verlag, 1978.
