Continua which admit no mean

K. Kawamura, E. Tymchatyn (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A symmetric, idempotent, continuous binary operation on a space is called a mean. In this paper, we provide a criterion for the non-existence of mean on a certain class of continua which includes tree-like continua. This generalizes a result of Bell and Watson. We also prove that any hereditarily indecomposable circle-like continuum admits no mean.

Four mapping problems of Maćkowiak

E. Grace, E. Vought (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In his paper "Continuous mappings on continua" [5], T. Maćkowiak collected results concerning mappings on metric continua. These results are theorems, counterexamples, and unsolved problems and are listed in a series of tables at the ends of chapters. It is the purpose of the present paper to provide solutions (three proofs and one example) to four of those problems.

Irreducibility of inverse limits on intervals

David Ryden (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A procedure for obtaining points of irreducibility for an inverse limit on intervals is developed. In connection with this, the following are included. A semiatriodic continuum is defined to be a continuum that contains no triod with interior. Characterizations of semiatriodic and unicoherent continua are given, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for a subcontinuum of a semiatriodic and unicoherent continuum M to lie within the interior of a proper subcontinuum of M.

Making holes in the cone, suspension and hyperspaces of some continua

José G. Anaya, Enrique Castañeda-Alvarado, Alejandro Fuentes-Montes de Oca, Fernando Orozco-Zitli (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A connected topological space Z is unicoherent provided that if Z = A B where A and B are closed connected subsets of Z , then A B is connected. Let Z be a unicoherent space, we say that z Z makes a hole in Z if Z - { z } is not unicoherent. In this work the elements that make a hole to the cone and the suspension of a metric space are characterized. We apply this to give the classification of the elements of hyperspaces of some continua that make them hole.
