Local connectedness, connectedness im kleinen, and another properties of hyperspaces of spaces
In the first part of the paper behavior of conditions related to local connectivity at a point is discussed if the space is transformed under a mapping that is interior or open at the considered point of the domain. The second part of the paper deals with metric locally connected continua. They are characterized as continua for which the hyperspace of their nonempty closed subjects is homogeneous with respect to open mappings. A similar characterization for the hyperspace of subcontinua remains...
We provide a machinery for transferring some properties of metrizable ANR-spaces to metrizable LCn-spaces. As a result, we show that for completely metrizable spaces the properties ALCn, LCn and WLCn coincide to each other. We also provide the following spectral characterizations of ALCn and celllike compacta: A compactum X is ALCn if and only if X is the limit space of a σ-complete inverse system S = {Xα , pβ α , α < β < τ} consisting of compact metrizable LCn-spaces Xα such that all bonding...
A space is n-arc connected (n-ac) if any family of no more than n-points are contained in an arc. For graphs the following are equivalent: (i) 7-ac, (ii) n-ac for all n, (iii) continuous injective image of a closed subinterval of the real line, and (iv) one of a finite family of graphs. General continua that are ℵ₀-ac are characterized. The complexity of characterizing n-ac graphs for n = 2,3,4,5 is determined to be strictly higher than that of the stated characterization of 7-ac graphs.
We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.
The Golomb space is the set of positive integers endowed with the topology generated by the base consisting of arithmetic progressions with coprime . We prove that the Golomb space has continuum many continuous self-maps, contains a countable disjoint family of infinite closed connected subsets, the set of prime numbers is a dense metrizable subspace of , and each homeomorphism of has the following properties: , , , and for all . Here and denotes the set of prime divisors...
