Continua with unique symmetric product

José G. Anaya, Enrique Castañeda-Alvarado, Alejandro Illanes (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let X be a metric continuum. Let F n ( X ) denote the hyperspace of nonempty subsets of X with at most n elements. We say that the continuum X has unique hyperspace F n ( X ) provided that the following implication holds: if Y is a continuum and F n ( X ) is homeomorphic to F n ( Y ) , then X is homeomorphic to Y . In this paper we prove the following results: (1) if X is an indecomposable continuum such that each nondegenerate proper subcontinuum of X is an arc, then X has unique hyperspace F 2 ( X ) , and (2) let X be an arcwise connected...

Continuous decompositions of Peano plane continua into pseudo-arcs

Janusz Prajs (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Locally planar Peano continua admitting continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs (into acyclic curves) are characterized as those with no local separating point. This extends the well-known result of Lewis and Walsh on a continuous decomposition of the plane into pseudo-arcs.

Continuous pseudo-hairy spaces and continuous pseudo-fans

Janusz R. Prajs (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A compact metric space X̃ is said to be a continuous pseudo-hairy space over a compact space X ⊂ X̃ provided there exists an open, monotone retraction r : X ̃ o n t o X such that all fibers r - 1 ( x ) are pseudo-arcs and any continuum in X̃ joining two different fibers of r intersects X. A continuum Y X is called a continuous pseudo-fan of a compactum X if there are a point c Y X and a family ℱ of pseudo-arcs such that = Y X , any subcontinuum of Y X intersecting two different elements of ℱ contains c, and ℱ is homeomorphic to X (with...
