A Peano space is a compact, connected, locally connected metric space.

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.
