We calculate the singular homology and Čech cohomology groups of the Harmonic Archipelago. As a corollary, we prove that this space is not homotopy equivalent to the Griffiths space. This is interesting in view of Eda’s proof that the first singular homology groups of these spaces are isomorphic.
Let be a continuum and a positive integer. Let be the hyperspace of all nonempty closed subsets of with at most components, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. For compact subset of , define the hyperspace . In this paper, we consider the hyperspace , which can be a tool to study the space . We study this hyperspace in the class of finite graphs and in general, we prove some properties such as: aposyndesis, local connectedness, arcwise disconnectedness, and contractibility.
A space X containing a Cantor set (an arc) is Cantor (arcwise) homogeneousiff for any two Cantor sets (arcs) A,B ⊂ X there is an autohomeomorphism h of X such that h(A)=B. It is proved that a continuum (an arcwise connected continuum) X such that either dim X=1 or is Cantor (arcwise) homogeneous iff X is a closed manifold of dimension at most 2.
We extend a theorem of S. Claytor in order to characterize the Peano generalized continua which are embeddable into the 2-sphere. We also give a characterization of the Peano generalized continua which admit closed embeddings in the Euclidean plane.
Motivated by the study of planar homoclinic bifurcations, in this paper we describe how the intersection of two middle third Cantor sets changes as the sets are translated across each other. The resulting description shows that the intersection is never empty; in fact, the intersection can be either finite or infinite in size. We show that when the intersection is finite then the number of points in the intersection will be either 2n or 3 · 2n. We also explore the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection...
