Irrational slope topology
Also known as: Bing's connected countable space
Let . For a fixed irrational , the irrational slope topology on is obtained by taking as a local base of open neighborhoods of each point the collection of sets with , defined by where . That is, consists of the point together with the rational numbers in an -neighborhood around the two points where the lines passing through with slopes and cross the real -axis.
