Bing maps and finite-dimensional maps

Michael Levin (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X and Y be compacta and let f:X → Y be a k-dimensional map. In [5] Pasynkov stated that if Y is finite-dimensional then there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 0. The problem that we deal with in this note is whether or not the restriction on the dimension of Y in the Pasynkov theorem can be omitted. This problem is still open.  Without assuming that Y is finite-dimensional Sternfeld [6] proved that there exists a map g : X 𝕀 k such that dim (f × g) = 1. We improve this result of Sternfeld showing...

Borsuk's quasi-equivalence is not transitive

Andrzej Kadlof, Nikola Koceić Bilan, Nikica Uglešić (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Borsuk's quasi-equivalence relation on the class of all compacta is considered. The open problem concerning transitivity of this relation is solved in the negative. Namely, three continua X, Y and Z lying in ℝ³ are constructed such that X is quasi-equivalent to Y and Y is quasi-equivalent to Z, while X is not quasi-equivalent to Z.
