On a plane compactum with the maximal shape
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...
We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space is countably compact if and only if it is countably subcompact relative to . (iii) For every metrizable space , the following are equivalent: (a) is compact; (b) for every open filter of , ; (c) is subcompact relative to . We also show: (iv) The negation of each of the statements, (a) every countably subcompact metrizable...
