Ultraconnected space

In mathematics, a topological space $X$ is said to be ultraconnected if no pair of nonempty closed sets of $X$ is disjoint. Equivalently, a space is ultraconnected if and only if the closures of two distinct points always have non trivial intersection. Hence, no $T_1$ space with more than 1 point is ultraconnected.^[1]

All ultraconnected spaces are path-connected (but not necessarily arc connected^[1]), normal, limit point compact, and pseudocompact.
