Concerning hereditarily locally connected continua
A topological space is non-separably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected sequential topological space X is the image of a non-separably connected complete metric space X under a monotone quotient map. The metric of the space X is economical in the sense that for each infinite subspace A ⊂ X the cardinality of the set does not exceed the density of A, . The construction of the space X determines a functor : Top...
A non-connected, Hausdorff space with a countable network has a connected Hausdorff-subtopology iff the space is not-H-closed. This result answers two questions posed by Tkačenko, Tkachuk, Uspenskij, and Wilson [Comment. Math. Univ. Carolinae 37 (1996), 825–841]. A non-H-closed, Hausdorff space with countable -weight and no connected, Hausdorff subtopology is provided.
It is shown that both the free topological group and the free Abelian topological group on a connected locally connected space are locally connected. For the Graev’s modification of the groups and , the corresponding result is more symmetric: the groups and are connected and locally connected if is. However, the free (Abelian) totally bounded group (resp., ) is not locally connected no matter how “good” a space is. The above results imply that every non-trivial continuous homomorphism...
In this paper we introduce a connected topology T on the set ℕ of positive integers whose base consists of all arithmetic progressions connected in Golomb’s topology. It turns out that all arithmetic progressions which are connected in the topology T form a basis for Golomb’s topology. Further we examine connectedness of arithmetic progressions in the division topology T′ on ℕ which was defined by Rizza in 1993. Immediate consequences of these studies are results concerning local connectedness of...
A characterisation of trivial 1-cohomology, in terms of some connectedness condition, is presented for a broad class of metric spaces.
