Uniformly disconnected space

From HandWiki

In mathematics, a uniformly disconnected space is a metric space [math]\displaystyle{ (X,d) }[/math] for which there exists [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda \gt 0 }[/math] such that no pair of distinct points [math]\displaystyle{ x,y \in X }[/math] can be connected by a [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda }[/math]-chain. A [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda }[/math]-chain between [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ y }[/math] is a sequence of points [math]\displaystyle{ x= x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n = y }[/math] in [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ d(x_i,x_{i+1}) \leq \lambda d(x,y), \forall i \in \{0,\ldots,n\} }[/math].[1]

Properties

Uniform disconnectedness is invariant under quasi-Möbius maps.[2]
