Homotopy and dynamics for homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua

Jarosław Kwapisz (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We describe the homotopy classes of self-homeomorphisms of solenoids and Knaster continua. In particular, we demonstrate that homeomorphisms within one homotopy class have the same (explicitly given) topological entropy and that they are actually semi-conjugate to an algebraic homeomorphism in the case when the entropy is positive.

Homotopy properties of curves

Janusz Jerzy Charatonik, Alejandro Illanes (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Conditions are investigated that imply noncontractibility of curves. In particular, a plane noncontractible dendroid is constructed which contains no homotopically fixed subset. A new concept of a homotopically steady subset of a space is introduced and its connections with other related concepts are studied.

Homotopy types of one-dimensional Peano continua

Katsuya Eda (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X and Y be one-dimensional Peano continua. If the fundamental groups of X and Y are isomorphic, then X and Y are homotopy equivalent. Every homomorphism from the fundamental group of X to that of Y is a composition of a homomorphism induced from a continuous map and a base point change isomorphism.

Hopfian and co-Hopfian objects.

Kalathoor Varadarajan (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The aim of the present paper is to study Hopfian and Co-Hopfian objects in categories like the category of rings, the module categories A-mod and mod-A for any ring A. Using Stone's representation theorem any Boolean ring can be regarded as the ring A of clopen subsets of compact Hausdorff totally disconnected space X. It turns out that the Boolean ring A will be Hopfian (resp. co-Hopfian) if and only if the space X is co-Hopfian (resp. Hopfian) in the category Top. For any compact Hausdorff space...

How restrictive is topological dynamics?

Anzelm Iwanik (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let T be a permutation of an abstract set X . In ZFC, we find a necessary and sufficient condition it terms of cardinalities of the T -orbits that allows us to topologize ( X , T ) as a topological dynamical system on a compact Hausdorff space. This extends an early result of H. de Vries concerning compact metric dynamical systems. An analogous result is obtained for 𝐙 2 -actions without periodic points.

Hurewicz-Serre theorem in extension theory

M. Cencelj, J. Dydak, A. Mitra, A. Vavpetič (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The paper is devoted to generalizations of the Cencelj-Dranishnikov theorems relating extension properties of nilpotent CW complexes to their homology groups. Here are the main results of the paper: Theorem 0.1. Let L be a nilpotent CW complex and F the homotopy fiber of the inclusion i of L into its infinite symmetric product SP(L). If X is a metrizable space such that X τ K ( H k ( L ) , k ) for all k ≥ 1, then X τ K ( π k ( F ) , k ) and X τ K ( π k ( L ) , k ) for all k ≥ . Theorem 0.2. Let X be a metrizable space such that dim(X) < ∞ or X ∈ ANR. Suppose...
