Lemma 5.9.6. Let X be a locally Noetherian topological space. Then X is locally connected.
Proof. Let x \in X. Let E be a neighbourhood of x. We have to find a connected neighbourhood of x contained in E. By assumption there exists a neighbourhood E' of x which is Noetherian. Then E \cap E' is Noetherian, see Lemma 5.9.2. Let E \cap E' = Y_1 \cup \ldots \cup Y_ n be the decomposition into irreducible components, see Lemma 5.9.2. Let E'' = \bigcup _{x \in Y_ i} Y_ i. This is a connected subset of E \cap E' containing x. It contains the open E \cap E' \setminus (\bigcup _{x \not\in Y_ i} Y_ i) of E \cap E' and hence it is a neighbourhood of x in X. This proves the lemma. \square
