Theorem
Let $A \subseteq \R$ be the set of all points on $\R$ defined as:
- $A := \set 0 \cup \set {\dfrac 1 n : n \in \Z_{>0} }$
Let $\struct {A, \tau_d}$ be the integer reciprocal space with zero under the usual (Euclidean) topology.
Then the quasicomponents of $A$ are singletons.
Proof
From Integer Reciprocal Space with Zero is Totally Separated, $A$ is totally separated.
The result follows from Totally Separated iff Quasicomponents are Singletons.
$\blacksquare$
