Continua whose hyperspace is a product
Locally planar Peano continua admitting continuous decomposition into pseudo-arcs (into acyclic curves) are characterized as those with no local separating point. This extends the well-known result of Lewis and Walsh on a continuous decomposition of the plane into pseudo-arcs.
A compact metric space X̃ is said to be a continuous pseudo-hairy space over a compact space X ⊂ X̃ provided there exists an open, monotone retraction such that all fibers are pseudo-arcs and any continuum in X̃ joining two different fibers of r intersects X. A continuum is called a continuous pseudo-fan of a compactum X if there are a point and a family ℱ of pseudo-arcs such that , any subcontinuum of intersecting two different elements of ℱ contains c, and ℱ is homeomorphic to X (with...
