The homotopy dimension of codiscrete subsets of the 2-sphere 𝕊²

Similarity:

Andreas Zastrow conjectured, and Cannon-Conner-Zastrow proved, that filling one hole in the Sierpiński curve with a disk results in a planar Peano continuum that is not homotopy equivalent to a 1-dimensional set. Zastrow's example is the motivation for this paper, where we characterize those planar Peano continua that are homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional sets. While many planar Peano continua are not homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional compacta, we prove that each has fundamental...

Fundamental groups of one-dimensional spaces

Gerhard Dorfer, Jörg M. Thuswaldner, Reinhard Winkler (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a metrizable one-dimensional continuum. We describe the fundamental group of X as a subgroup of its Čech homotopy group. In particular, the elements of the Čech homotopy group are represented by sequences of words. Among these sequences the elements of the fundamental group are characterized by a simple stabilization condition. This description of the fundamental group is used to give a new algebro-combinatorial proof of a result due to Eda on continuity properties of homomorphisms...

Variations on a theme of homotopy

Timothy Porter (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The aim of this article is to bring together various themes from fairly elementary homotopy theory and to examine them, in part, from a historical and philosophical viewpoint.
