US not implies KC
This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of a non-implication relation between two topological space properties. That is, it states that every topological space satisfying the first topological space property (i.e., US-space (?)) need not satisfy the second topological space property (i.e., KC-space (?))

Statement
It is possible to have a US-space (i.e., a topological space in which every convergent sequence has at most one limit) that is not a KC-space.
Proof
Example of cofinite topology
Consider a countable set, say , equipped with the cofinite topology. With this topology, the set is a US-space, because by definition, the only convergent sequence are those that are eventually constant, with the unique limit being the eventual constant value.
On the other hand, is not a KC-space, because, in fact, every subset of is compact, including the infinite proper subsets, which are not closed. To see why every subset of is compact, note that if is a subset of , any nonempty open subset of is cofinite in . Hence, an open cover of must have a finite subcover.
