Bing maps and finite-dimensional maps

Michael Levin — 1996

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X and Y be compacta and let f:X → Y be a k-dimensional map. In [5] Pasynkov stated that if Y is finite-dimensional then there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 0. The problem that we deal with in this note is whether or not the restriction on the dimension of Y in the Pasynkov theorem can be omitted. This problem is still open.  Without assuming that Y is finite-dimensional Sternfeld [6] proved that there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 1. We improve this result of Sternfeld showing...

Inessentiality with respect to subspaces

Michael Levin — 1995

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a compactum and let A = ( A i , B i ) : i = 1 , 2 , . . . be a countable family of pairs of disjoint subsets of X. Then A is said to be essential on Y ⊂ X if for every closed F i separating A i and B i the intersection ( F i ) Y is not empty. So A is inessential on Y if there exist closed F i separating A i and B i such that F i does not intersect Y. Properties of inessentiality are studied and applied to prove:  Theorem. For every countable family of pairs of disjoint open subsets of a compactum X there exists an open set G ∩ X on which A is...

A dimensional property of Cartesian product

Michael Levin — 2013

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the Cartesian product of three hereditarily infinite-dimensional compact metric spaces is never hereditarily infinite-dimensional. It is quite surprising that the proof of this fact (and this is the only proof known to the author) essentially relies on algebraic topology.

Universal acyclic resolutions for arbitrary coefficient groups

Michael Levin — 2003

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that for every compactum X and every integer n ≥ 2 there are a compactum Z of dimension ≤ n+1 and a surjective U V n - 1 -map r: Z → X such that for every abelian group G and every integer k ≥ 2 such that d i m G X k n we have d i m G Z k and r is G-acyclic.

Hyperspaces of two-dimensional continua

Michael LevinYaki Sternfeld — 1996

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a compact metric space and let C(X) denote the space of subcontinua of X with the Hausdorff metric. It is proved that every two-dimensional continuum X contains, for every n ≥ 1, a one-dimensional subcontinuum T n with d i m C ( T n ) n . This implies that X contains a compact one-dimensional subset T with dim C (T) = ∞.
