Spaces of ANR's
Spaces of finite n-dimensional Hausdorff measure are an important generalization of n-dimensional polyhedra. Continua of finite linear measure (also called continua of finite length) were first characterized by Eilenberg in 1938. It is well-known that the property of having finite linear measure is not preserved under finite unions of closed sets. Mauldin proved that if X is a compact metric space which is the union of finitely many closed sets each of which admits a σ-finite linear measure then...
We investigate striped structures of stable and unstable sets of expansive homeomorphisms and continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms. The following theorem is proved: if f : X → X is an expansive homeomorphism of a compact metric space X with dim X > 0, then the decompositions and of X into stable and unstable sets of f respectively are uncountable, and moreover there is σ (= s or u) and ϱ > 0 such that there is a Cantor set C in X with the property that for each x ∈ C, contains a nondegenerate...
The concept of a strongly chaotic space is introduced, and its relations to chaotic, rigid and strongly rigid spaces are studied. Some sufficient as well as necessary conditions are shown for a dendrite to be strongly chaotic.
