I have just noticed that the mathworld article has nice additional information. It should be incorporated here. -- GaborPete ( talk) 06:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
"When D ⊂ C is a connected, simply connected compact set, then its complement E = D^c is a connected, simply connected domain in the Riemann sphere that contains ∞"
This can't quite be right. We need some kind of local path-connectedness, neighborhood retract, or other mild regularity property. Otherwise you can make a loop with the topologist's sine curve that is simply-connected according to the definition, but whose complement is not connected.
