Hereditarily weakly confluent induced mappings are homeomorphisms

Janusz Charatonik, Włodzimierz Charatonik (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a given mapping f between continua we consider the induced mappings between the corresponding hyperspaces of closed subsets or of subcontinua. It is shown that if either of the two induced mappings is hereditarily weakly confluent (or hereditarily confluent, or hereditarily monotone, or atomic), then f is a homeomorphism, and consequently so are both the induced mappings. Similar results are obtained for mappings between cones over the domain and over the range continua. ...

Composant-like decompositions

Wojciech Dębski, E. Tymchatyn (1991)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The body of this paper falls into two independent sections. The first deals with the existence of cross-sections in F σ -decompositions. The second deals with the extensions of the results on accessibility in the plane.

On a compactification of the homeomorphism group of the pseudo-arc

Kazuhiro Kawamura (1991)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A continuum means a compact connected metric space. For a continuum X, H(X) denotes the space of all homeomorphisms of X with the compact-open topology. It is well known that H(X) is a completely metrizable, separable topological group. J. Kennedy [8] considered a compactification of H(X) and studied its properties when X has various types of homogeneity. In this paper we are concerned with the compactification G P of the homeomorphism group of the pseudo-arc P, which is obtained by the...
