Extremally disconnected spaces #
An extremally disconnected topological space is a space in which the closure of every open set is open. Such spaces are also called Stonean spaces. They are the projective objects in the category of compact Hausdorff spaces.

The closure of every open set is open.
Instances
Extremally disconnected spaces are totally separated.
The assertion CompactT2.Projective
states that given continuous maps
f : X → Z
and g : Y → Z
with g
surjective between t_2
, compact topological spaces,
there exists a continuous lift h : X → Y
, such that f = g ∘ h
.

Instances For
Lemma 2.4 in Gleason, Projective topological spaces: a continuous surjection $\pi$ from a compact space $D$ to a Fréchet space $A$ restricts to a compact subset $E$ of $D$, such that $\pi$ maps $E$ onto $A$ and satisfies the "Zorn subset condition", where $\pi(E_0) \ne A$ for any proper closed subset $E_0 \subsetneq E$.
Lemma 2.1 in Gleason, Projective topological spaces: if $\rho$ is a continuous surjection from a topological space $E$ to a topological space $A$ satisfying the "Zorn subset condition", then $\rho(G)$ is contained in the closure of $A \setminus \rho(E \setminus G)$ for any open set $G$ of $E$.
Lemma 2.2 in Gleason, Projective topological spaces: in an extremally disconnected space, if $U_1$ and $U_2$ are disjoint open sets, then $\overline{U_1}$ and $\overline{U_2}$ are also disjoint.
Lemma 2.3 in Gleason, Projective topological spaces: a continuous surjection from a compact Hausdorff space to an extremally disconnected Hausdorff space satisfying the "Zorn subset condition" is a homeomorphism.

Theorem 2.5 in Gleason, Projective topological spaces: in the category of compact spaces and continuous maps, the projective spaces are precisely the extremally disconnected spaces.
The sigma-type of extremally disconnected spaces is extremally disconnected.
