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]).

♣-like principles under CH

Winfried Just (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Some relatives of the Juhász Club Principle are introduced and studied in the presence of CH. In particular, it is shown that a slight strengthening of this principle implies the existence of a Suslin tree in the presence of CH.

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...
