Decomposition spaces and shape in the sense of Fox
We find sufficient conditions for a cotriad of which the objects are locally trivial fibrations, in order that the push-out be a locally trivial fibration. As an application, the universal -bundle of a finite group , and the classifying space is modeled by locally finite spaces. In particular, if is finite, then the universal -bundle is the limit of an ascending chain of finite spaces. The bundle projection is a covering projection.
In his paper "Continuous mappings on continua" [5], T. Maćkowiak collected results concerning mappings on metric continua. These results are theorems, counterexamples, and unsolved problems and are listed in a series of tables at the ends of chapters. It is the purpose of the present paper to provide solutions (three proofs and one example) to four of those problems.
Based on some earlier findings on Banach Category Theorem for some “nice” -ideals by J. Kaniewski, D. Rose and myself I introduce the operator ( stands for “heavy points”) to refine and generalize kernel constructions of A. H. Stone. Having obtained in this way a generalized Kuratowski’s decomposition theorem I prove some characterizations of the domains of functions having “many” points of -continuity. Results of this type lead, in the case of the -ideal of meager sets, to important statements...
