Non-separating subcontinua of planar continua

D. Daniel, C. Islas, R. Leonel, E. D. Tymchatyn (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.

Normal subspaces in products of two ordinals

Nobuyuki Kemoto, Tsugunori Nogura, Kerry Smith, Yukinobu Yajima (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let λ be an ordinal number. It is shown that normality, collectionwise normality and shrinking are equivalent for all subspaces of ( λ + 1 ) 2 .

Normal Vietoris implies compactness: a short proof

G. Di Maio, E. Meccariello, Somashekhar Naimpally (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

One of the most celebrated results in the theory of hyperspaces says that if the Vietoris topology on the family of all nonempty closed subsets of a given space is normal, then the space is compact (Ivanova-Keesling-Velichko). The known proofs use cardinality arguments and are long. In this paper we present a short proof using known results concerning Hausdorff uniformities.

Note on the Wijsman hyperspaces of completely metrizable spaces

J. Chaber, R. Pol (2002)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We consider the hyperspace C L X of nonempty closed subsets of completely metrizable space X endowed with the Wijsman topologies τ W d . If X is separable and d , e are two metrics generating the topology of X , every countable set closed in C L X , τ W e has isolated points in C L X , τ W d . For d = e , this implies a theorem of Costantini on topological completeness of C L X , τ W d . We show that for nonseparable X the hyperspace C L X , τ W d may contain a closed copy of the rationals. This answers a question of Zsilinszky.
