Abstract

It is shown that—over Bishop's constructive mathematics—the indecomposability of ℝ is equivalent to the statement that all functions from a complete metric space into a metric space are sequentially nondiscontinuous. Furthermore we prove that the indecomposability of ℝ \ {0} is equivalent to the negation of the disjunctive version of Markov's Principle. These results contribute to the programme of Constructive Reverse Mathematics.
