In topology and related areas of mathematics a uniformly connected space or Cantor connected space is a uniform space U such that every uniformly continuous function from U to a discrete uniform space is constant.

A uniform space U is called uniformly disconnected if it is not uniformly connected.

Properties

A compact uniform space is uniformly connected if and only if it is connected
Examples

every connected space is uniformly connected
the rational numbers and the irrational numbers are disconnected but uniformly connected
