The homotopy dimension of codiscrete subsets of the 2-sphere 𝕊²

J. W. Cannon, G. R. Conner (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Andreas Zastrow conjectured, and Cannon-Conner-Zastrow proved, that filling one hole in the Sierpiński curve with a disk results in a planar Peano continuum that is not homotopy equivalent to a 1-dimensional set. Zastrow's example is the motivation for this paper, where we characterize those planar Peano continua that are homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional sets. While many planar Peano continua are not homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional compacta, we prove that each has fundamental group that...

The structure of atoms (hereditarily indecomposable continua)

R. Ball, J. Hagler, Yaki Sternfeld (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be an atom (= hereditarily indecomposable continuum). Define a metric ϱ on X by letting ϱ ( x , y ) = W ( A x y ) where A x , y is the (unique) minimal subcontinuum of X which contains x and y and W is a Whitney map on the set of subcontinua of X with W(X) = 1. We prove that ϱ is an ultrametric and the topology of (X,ϱ) is stronger than the original topology of X. The ϱ-closed balls C(x,r) = y ∈ X:ϱ ( x,y) ≤ r coincide with the subcontinua of X. (C(x,r) is the unique subcontinuum of X which contains x and has Whitney value...

Topological type of weakly closed subgroups in Banach spaces

Tadeusz Dobrowolski, Janusz Grabowski, Kazuhiro Kawamura (1996)

Studia Mathematica

The main result says that nondiscrete, weakly closed, containing no nontrivial linear subspaces, additive subgroups in separable reflexive Banach spaces are homeomorphic to the complete Erdős space. Two examples of such subgroups in 1 which are interesting from the Banach space theory point of view are discussed.

Ultrametric spaces bi-Lipschitz embeddable in n

Kerkko Luosto (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is proved that if an ultrametric space can be bi-Lipschitz embedded in n , then its Assouad dimension is less than n. Together with a result of Luukkainen and Movahedi-Lankarani, where the converse was shown, this gives a characterization in terms of Assouad dimension of the ultrametric spaces which are bi-Lipschitz embeddable in n .
