Decompositions of the plane and the size of the continuum

Ramiro de la Vega (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a triple ⟨E₀,E₁,E₂⟩ of equivalence relations on ℝ² and investigate the possibility of decomposing the plane into three sets ℝ² = S₀ ∪ S₁ ∪ S₂ in such a way that each S i intersects each E i -class in finitely many points. Many results in the literature, starting with a famous theorem of Sierpiński, show that for certain triples the existence of such a decomposition is equivalent to the continuum hypothesis. We give a characterization in ZFC of the triples for which the decomposition...

Michael G. Charalambous, Jerzy Krzempek (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For each natural number n ≥ 1 and each pair of ordinals α,β with n ≤ α ≤ β ≤ ω(⁺), where ω(⁺) is the first ordinal of cardinality ⁺, we construct a continuum S n , α , β such that (a) d i m S n , α , β = n ; (b) t r D g S n , α , β = t r D g o S n , α , β = α ; (c) t r i n d S n , α , β = t r I n d S n , α , β = β ; (d) if β < ω(⁺), then S n , α , β is separable and first countable; (e) if n = 1, then S n , α , β can be made chainable or hereditarily decomposable; (f) if α = β < ω(⁺), then S n , α , β can be made hereditarily indecomposable; (g) if n = 1 and α = β < ω(⁺), then S n , α , β can be made chainable and hereditarily indecomposable.

Hereditarily indecomposable inverse limits of graphs

K. Kawamura, H. M. Tuncali, E. D. Tymchatyn (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the following theorem: Let G be a compact connected graph and let f: G → G be a piecewise linear surjection which satisfies the following condition: for each nondegenerate subcontinuum A of G, there is a positive integer n such that fⁿ(A) = G. Then, for each ε > 0, there is a map f ε : G G which is ε-close to f such that the inverse limit ( G , f ε ) is hereditarily indecomposable.

A continuum X such that C ( X ) is not continuously homogeneous

Alejandro Illanes (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A metric continuum X is said to be continuously homogeneous provided that for every two points p , q X there exists a continuous surjective function f : X X such that f ( p ) = q . Answering a question by W.J. Charatonik and Z. Garncarek, in this paper we show a continuum X such that the hyperspace of subcontinua of X , C ( X ) , is not continuously homogeneous.

Extending generalized Whitney maps

Ivan Lončar (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

For metrizable continua, there exists the well-known notion of a Whitney map. If X is a nonempty, compact, and metric space, then any Whitney map for any closed subset of 2 X can be extended to a Whitney map for 2 X [3, 16.10 Theorem]. The main purpose of this paper is to prove some generalizations of this theorem.

Global continuum of positive solutions for discrete p -Laplacian eigenvalue problems

Dingyong Bai, Yuming Chen (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We discuss the discrete p -Laplacian eigenvalue problem, Δ ( φ p ( Δ u ( k - 1 ) ) ) + λ a ( k ) g ( u ( k ) ) = 0 , k { 1 , 2 , ... , T } , u ( 0 ) = u ( T + 1 ) = 0 , where T > 1 is a given positive integer and φ p ( x ) : = | x | p - 2 x , p > 1 . First, the existence of an unbounded continuum 𝒞 of positive solutions emanating from ( λ , u ) = ( 0 , 0 ) is shown under suitable conditions on the nonlinearity. Then, under an additional condition, it is shown that the positive solution is unique for any λ > 0 and all solutions are ordered. Thus the continuum 𝒞 is a monotone continuous curve globally defined for all λ > 0 .

CH and the Sacks property

S. Quickert (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show the consistency of CH and the statement “no ccc forcing has the Sacks property” and derive some consequences for ccc ω ω -bounding forcing notions.

Another ⋄-like principle

Michael Hrušák (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A new ⋄-like principle consistent with the negation of the Continuum Hypothesis is introduced and studied. It is shown that ¬ is consistent with CH and that in many models of = ω₁ the principle holds. As implies that there is a MAD family of size ℵ₁ this provides a partial answer to a question of J. Roitman who asked whether = ω₁ implies = ω₁. It is proved that holds in any model obtained by adding a single Laver real, answering a question of J. Brendle who asked whether = ω₁...

On affinity of Peano type functions

Tomasz Słonka (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that if n is a positive integer and 2 , then for every positive integer m and for every real constant c > 0 there are functions f , . . . , f n + m : such that ( f , . . . , f n + m ) ( ) = n + m and for every x ∈ ℝⁿ there exists a strictly increasing sequence (i₁,...,iₙ) of numbers from 1,...,n+m and a w ∈ ℤⁿ such that ( f i , . . . , f i ) ( y ) = y + w for y x + ( - c , c ) × n - 1 .

On the classification of inverse limits of tent maps

Louis Block, Slagjana Jakimovik, Lois Kailhofer, James Keesling (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let f s and f t be tent maps on the unit interval. In this paper we give a new proof of the fact that if the critical points of f s and f t are periodic and the inverse limit spaces ( I , f s ) and ( I , f t ) are homeomorphic, then s = t. This theorem was first proved by Kailhofer. The new proof in this paper simplifies the proof of Kailhofer. Using the techniques of the paper we are also able to identify certain isotopies between homeomorphisms on the inverse limit space.

A hit-and-miss topology for 2 X , Cₙ(X) and Fₙ(X)

Benjamín Espinoza, Verónica Martínez-de-la-Vega, Jorge M. Martínez-Montejano (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A hit-and-miss topology ( τ H M ) is defined for the hyperspaces 2 X , Cₙ(X) and Fₙ(X) of a continuum X. We study the relationship between τ H M and the Vietoris topology and we find conditions on X for which these topologies are equivalent.

Universal completely regular dendrites

K. Omiljanowski, S. Zafiridou (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define a dendrite E n which is universal in the class of all completely regular dendrites with order of points not greater than n. In particular, the dendrite E ω is universal in the class of all completely regular dendrites. The construction starts with the standard universal dendrite D n of order n described by J. J. Charatonik.

Induced almost continuous functions on hyperspaces

Alejandro Illanes (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a metric continuum X, let C(X) (resp., 2 X ) be the hyperspace of subcontinua (resp., nonempty closed subsets) of X. Let f: X → Y be an almost continuous function. Let C(f): C(X) → C(Y) and 2 f : 2 X 2 Y be the induced functions given by C ( f ) ( A ) = c l Y ( f ( A ) ) and 2 f ( A ) = c l Y ( f ( A ) ) . In this paper, we prove that: • If 2 f is almost continuous, then f is continuous. • If C(f) is almost continuous and X is locally connected, then f is continuous. • If X is not locally connected, then there exists an almost continuous function f: X → [0,1]...

Existentially closed II₁ factors

Ilijas Farah, Isaac Goldbring, Bradd Hart, David Sherman (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We examine the properties of existentially closed ( ω -embeddable) II₁ factors. In particular, we use the fact that every automorphism of an existentially closed ( ω -embeddable) II₁ factor is approximately inner to prove that Th() is not model-complete. We also show that Th() is complete for both finite and infinite forcing and use the latter result to prove that there exist continuum many nonisomorphic existentially closed models of Th().

Homeomorphism groups of Sierpiński carpets and Erdős space

Jan J. Dijkstra, Dave Visser (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Erdős space is the “rational” Hilbert space, that is, the set of vectors in ℓ² with all coordinates rational. Erdős proved that is one-dimensional and homeomorphic to its own square × , which makes it an important example in dimension theory. Dijkstra and van Mill found topological characterizations of . Let M n + 1 , n ∈ ℕ, be the n-dimensional Menger continuum in n + 1 , also known as the n-dimensional Sierpiński carpet, and let D be a countable dense subset of M n + 1 . We consider the topological group...

On two problems studied by A. Ambrosetti

David Arcoya, José Carmona (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study the Ambrosetti–Prodi and Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz problems.We prove for the first one the existence of a continuum of solutions with shape of a reflected C ( -shape). Next, we show that there is a relationship between these two problems.

Coloring grids

Ramiro de la Vega (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A structure = ( A ; E i ) i n where each E i is an equivalence relation on A is called an n-grid if any two equivalence classes coming from distinct E i ’s intersect in a finite set. A function χ: A → n is an acceptable coloring if for all i ∈ n, the χ - 1 ( i ) intersects each E i -equivalence class in a finite set. If B is a set, then the n-cube Bⁿ may be seen as an n-grid, where the equivalence classes of E i are the lines parallel to the ith coordinate axis. We use elementary submodels of the universe to characterize...

-sums and the Banach space / c

Christina Brech, Piotr Koszmider (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space / c and how it depends on combinatorial tools whose existence is consistent with but not provable from the usual axioms of ZFC. Our main global result is that it is consistent that / c does not have an orthogonal -decomposition, that is, it is not of the form ( X ) for any Banach space X. The main local result is that it is consistent that ( c ( ) ) does not embed isomorphically into / c , where is the cardinality of the continuum,...

The power set of ω Elementary submodels and weakenings of CH

István Juhász, Kenneth Kunen (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define a new principle, SEP, which is true in all Cohen extensions of models of CH, and explore the relationship between SEP and other such principles. SEP is implied by each of CH*, the weak Freeze-Nation property of (ω), and the (ℵ₁,ℵ₀)-ideal property. SEP implies the principle C s ( ω ) , but does not follow from C s ( ω ) , or even C s ( ω ) .

On automorphisms of the Banach space / c

Piotr Koszmider, Cristóbal Rodríguez-Porras (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate Banach space automorphisms T : / c / c focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form T B , A : ( A ) / c ( A ) ( B ) / c ( B ) for A,B ⊆ ℕ infinite by means of linear operators from ( A ) into ( B ) , infinite A×B-matrices, continuous maps from B* = βB∖B into A*, or bijections from B to A. This leads to the analysis of general bounded linear operators on / c . We present many examples, introduce and investigate several classes of operators, for some of them we obtain satisfactory representations and for...
