On confluently graph-like compacta

Lex G. Oversteegen, Janusz R. Prajs (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For any class 𝒦 of compacta and any compactum X we say that: (a) X is confluently 𝒦-representable if X is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of members of 𝒦 with confluent bonding mappings, and (b) X is confluently 𝒦-like provided that X admits, for every ε >0, a confluent ε-mapping onto a member of 𝒦. The symbol 𝕃ℂ stands for the class of all locally connected compacta. It is proved in this paper that for each compactum X and each family 𝒦 of graphs, X is confluently...

On regular Stein neighborhoods of a union of two totally real planes in ℂ²

Tadej Starčič (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We find regular Stein neighborhoods of a union of totally real planes M = (A+iI)ℝ² and N = ℝ² in ℂ², provided that the entries of a real 2 × 2 matrix A are sufficiently small. A key step in our proof is a local construction of a suitable function ρ near the origin. The sublevel sets of ρ are strongly Levi pseudoconvex and admit strong deformation retraction to M ∪ N.

On van Douwen spaces and retracts of β

Alan S. Dow (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

Eric van Douwen produced in 1993 a maximal crowded extremally disconnected regular space and showed that its Stone-Čech compactification is an at most two-to-one image of β . We prove that there are non-homeomorphic such images. We also develop some related properties of spaces which are absolute retracts of β expanding on earlier work of Balcar and Błaszczyk (1990) and Simon (1987).
