In mathematics, a uniformly disconnected space is a metric space ( X , d ) {\displaystyle (X,d)} for which there exists λ > 0 {\displaystyle \lambda >0} such that no pair of distinct points x , y X {\displaystyle x,y\in X} can be connected by a λ {\displaystyle \lambda } -chain. A λ {\displaystyle \lambda } -chain between x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} is a sequence of points x = x 0 , x 1 , , x n = y {\displaystyle x=x_{0},x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n}=y} in X {\displaystyle X} such that d ( x i , x i + 1 ) λ d ( x , y ) , i { 0 , , n } {\displaystyle d(x_{i},x_{i+1})\leq \lambda d(x,y),\forall i\in \{0,\ldots ,n\}} .

Properties

Uniform disconnectedness is invariant under quasi-Möbius maps.
