Locally connected topological spaces #
A topological space is locally connected if each neighborhood filter admits a basis
of connected open sets. Local connectivity is equivalent to each point having a basis
of connected (not necessarily open) sets --- but in a non-trivial way, so we choose this definition
and prove the equivalence later in locallyConnectedSpace_iff_connected_basis.

Open connected neighborhoods form a basis of the neighborhoods filter.
Instances
A space with discrete topology is a locally connected space.
Any topology coinduced by a locally connected topology is locally connected.
If a space is locally connected, the topology of its connected components is discrete.
A locally connected compact space has finitely many connected components.
The product of two locally connected spaces is locally connected.
If each X i is locally connected and all but finitely many are preconnected, then
∀ i, X i is locally connected.
A finite product of locally connected spaces is locally connected.
A product of preconnected, locally connected spaces is locally connected. Note that an
arbitrary product of locally connected spaces need not be locally connected, so the
preconnectedness assumption cannot be dropped entirely (though it can be dropped for finitely
many factors, see Pi.locallyConnectedSpace_of_finite_not_preconnectedSpace).
A product of spaces is locally connected iff it is empty, or every factor is locally connected and all but finitely many factors are preconnected.
