This paper presents some basic facts about the so-called connectivity spaces.
In particular, it studies the generation of connectivity structures, the
existence of limits and colimits in the main categories of connectivity spaces,
the closed monoidal category structure given by the so-called tensor product on
integral connectivity spaces; it defines homotopy for connectivity spaces and
mention briefly related difficulties; it defines smash product of pointed
integral connectivity spaces and shows that this operation results in a closed
monoidal category with such spaces as objects. Then, it studies finite
connectivity spaces, associating a directed acyclic graph with each such space
and then defining a new numerical invariant for links: the connectivity order.
Finally, it mentions the not very wellknown Brunn-Debrunner-Kanenobu theorem
which asserts that every finite integral connectivity space can be represented
by a link.Comment: 30 pages, 2 figure
