Quasi-equivalence of compacta and spaces of components.

José M. Rodríguez Sanjurjo (1980)

Collectanea Mathematica

Let X, Y be two compacta with Sh(X) = Sh (Y). Then, the spaces of components of X, Y are homeomorphic. This does not happen, in general, when X, Y are quasi-equivalent. In this paper we give a sufficient condition for the existence of a homeomorphism between the spaces of components of two quasi-equivalent compacta X, Y which maps each component in a quasi-equivalent component.

Shape index in metric spaces

Francisco R. Ruiz del Portal, José M. Salazar (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We extend the shape index, introduced by Robbin and Salamon and Mrozek, to locally defined maps in metric spaces. We show that this index is additive. Thus our construction answers in the affirmative two questions posed by Mrozek in [12]. We also prove that the shape index cannot be arbitrarily complicated: the shapes of q-adic solenoids appear as shape indices in natural modifications of Smale's horseshoes but there is not any compact isolated invariant set for any locally defined map in a locally...
