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.

An extremally disconnected topological space is a space in which the closure of every open set is open.
The closure of every open set is open.
Instances

Instances For
Lemma 2.4 in [Gleason, Projective topological spaces][gleason1958]: 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][gleason1958]: 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][gleason1958]: 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][gleason1958]: a continuous surjection from a compact Hausdorff space to an extremally disconnected Hausdorff space satisfying the "Zorn subset condition" is a homeomorphism.
