Characterizing chainable, tree-like, and circle-like continua

Taras Banakh, Zdzisław Kosztołowicz, Sławomir Turek (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that a continuum X is tree-like (resp. circle-like, chainable) if and only if for each open cover 𝓤₄ = {U₁,U₂,U₃,U₄} of X there is a 𝓤₄-map f: X → Y onto a tree (resp. onto the circle, onto the interval). A continuum X is an acyclic curve if and only if for each open cover 𝓤₃ = {U₁,U₂,U₃} of X there is a 𝓤₃-map f: X → Y onto a tree (or the interval [0,1]).

Non-additivity of the fixed point property for tree-like continua

C. L. Hagopian, M. M. Marsh (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the fixed point property for tree-like continua that are unions of tree-like continua. We obtain a positive result if finitely many tree-like continua with the fixed point property have dendrites for pairwise intersections. Using Bellamy's seminal example, we define (i) a countable wedge X̂ of tree-like continua, each having the fpp, and X̂ admitting a fixed-point-free homeomorphism, and (ii) two tree-like continua H and K such that H, K, and H∩ K have the fixed point...

Exactly two-to-one maps from continua onto some tree-like continua

Wojciech Dębski, J. Heath, J. Mioduszewski (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is known that no dendrite (Gottschalk 1947) and no hereditarily indecomposable tree-like continuum (J. Heath 1991) can be the image of a continuum under an exactly 2-to-1 (continuous) map. This paper enlarges the class of tree-like continua satisfying this property, namely to include those tree-like continua whose nondegenerate proper subcontinua are arcs. This includes all Knaster continua and Ingram continua. The conjecture that all tree-like continua have this property, stated...
