Path-Connectedness
Path-connectedness is an invariant of homeomorphisms; homeomorphic spaces are either both path-connected or not.
Metrical Properties
While homeomorphisms preserve topological properties, they do not necessarily preserve metrical properties like distances and angles.
Orientability
The property of being orientable is maintained under homeomorphism.
Genus
The genus, or the number of 'holes' in a space, is an invariant under homeomorphism.
Hausdorff Property
Homeomorphism only occurs between spaces that are either both Hausdorff or both non-Hausdorff.
Connectedness
Homeomorphism preserves the property of connectedness; if one space is connected, so must the other be.
Local Properties
Local topological properties like being locally Euclidean or having a local product structure are preserved by homeomorphisms.
Betti Numbers
Betti numbers, which indicate the maximum number of cuts that a space can have without becoming disconnected, are homeomorphism invariants.
Homotopy Groups
Homeomorphisms induce isomorphisms on homotopy groups, thereby preserving the homotopy type.
Topology of Embeddings
The embedding of a topological space into another is preserved under homeomorphism.
Compactness
A compact space is homeomorphic only to other compact spaces.
Continuity of Functions
The continuity of functions between spaces is preserved by homeomorphisms.
Dimension
Homeomorphic spaces must have the same topological dimension.
Boundary
Homeomorphism maps boundary points of one space to boundary points of the other space. Thus, the boundary structure is preserved.
Cardinality of Points
Homeomorphic spaces have the same cardinality of points (i.e., they have the same 'number of points').
