A continuum without the fixed point property which is quasihomeomorphic with an AR-set
A metric continuum is said to be continuously homogeneous provided that for every two points there exists a continuous surjective function such that . Answering a question by W.J. Charatonik and Z. Garncarek, in this paper we show a continuum such that the hyperspace of subcontinua of , , is not continuously homogeneous.
We prove a decomposition theorem for a class of continua for which F. B.. Jones's set function 𝓣 is continuous. This gives a partial answer to a question of D. Bellamy.
We define an unusual continuum M with the fixed-point property in the plane ℝ². There is a disk D in ℝ² such that M ∩ D is an arc and M ∪ D does not have the fixed-point property. This example answers a question of R. H. Bing. The continuum M is a countable union of arcs.
A hit-and-miss topology () is defined for the hyperspaces , Cₙ(X) and Fₙ(X) of a continuum X. We study the relationship between and the Vietoris topology and we find conditions on X for which these topologies are equivalent.
A plane continuum is constructed which has span zero but is not chainable.
The main purpose of this paper is to prove some theorems concerning inverse systems and limits of continuous images of arcs. In particular, we shall prove that if X = {Xa, pab, A} is an inverse system of continuous images of arcs with monotone bonding mappings such that cf (card (A)) ≠ w1, then X = lim X is a continuous image of an arc if and only if each proper subsystem {Xa, pab, B} of X with cf(card (B)) = w1 has the limit which is a continuous image of an arc (Theorem 18).
