-directed inverse systems of continuous images of arcs.
We continue the study of 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension of continua. We prove that if X is a decomposable continuum and its hyperspace suspension is 1/2-homogeneous, then X must be continuum chainable. We also characterize 1/2-homogeneity of the hyperspace suspension for several classes of continua, including: continua containing a free arc, atriodic and decomposable continua, and decomposable irreducible continua about a finite set.
In this paper, we shall discuss -products of paracompact Čech-scattered spaces and show the following: (1) Let be a -product of paracompact Čech-scattered spaces. If has countable tightness, then it is collectionwise normal. (2) If is a -product of first countable, paracompact (subparacompact) Čech-scattered spaces, then it is shrinking (subshrinking).
We show that any -product of at most -many -spaces has the -property. This result generalizes some known results about -spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every -product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every -product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...
