On continuous surjections from Cantor set.

Félix Cabello Sánchez (2004)

Extracta Mathematicae

It is a famous result of Alexandroff and Urysohn that every compact metric space is a continuous image of a Cantor set ∆. In this short note we complement this result by showing that a certain uniqueness property holds. Namely, if (K,d) is a compact metric space and f and g are two continuous mappings from ∆ onto K, the, for every e > 0 there exists a homeomorphism phi of ∆ such that d(g(x), f(phi(x))) < e for all x∆.

On H ˇ n -bubbles in n-dimensional compacta

Umed Karimov, Dušan Repovš (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A topological space X is called an H ˇ n -bubble (n is a natural number, H ˇ n is Čech cohomology with integer coefficients) if its n-dimensional cohomology H ˇ n ( X ) is nontrivial and the n-dimensional cohomology of every proper subspace is trivial. The main results of our paper are: (1) Any compact metrizable H ˇ n -bubble is locally connected; (2) There exists a 2-dimensional 2-acyclic compact metrizable ANR which does not contain any H ˇ 2 -bubbles; and (3) Every n-acyclic finite-dimensional L H ˇ n -trivial metrizable compactum...
