-connected

A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is said to be $\sigma$-connected provided that X is not the union of more than one and at most countably many nonempty, mutually disjoint, closed subsets. A continuum is $\delta$-connected if each two of its points can be connected by an hereditarily decomposable irreducible subcontinuum.
