In topology and related areas of mathematics a uniformly connected space or Cantor connected space is a uniform space U so that every uniformly continuous functions from U to a discrete uniform space is constant.

A uniform space U is called uniformly disconnected if every every uniformly continuous functions from a discrete uniform space to U constant.

Properties

A compact topological space is uniformly connected if and only if it is connected

Examples
