On topological factors of 3 dimensional locally connected continuum embeddable in
In this paper we study the behavior of the (transfinite) small inductive dimension on finite products of topological spaces. In particular we essentially improve Toulmin’s estimation [T] of for Cartesian products.
We prove that if the Euclidean plane contains an uncountable collection of pairwise disjoint copies of a tree-like continuum X, then the symmetric span of X is zero, sX = 0. We also construct a modification of the Oversteegen-Tymchatyn example: for each ε > 0 there exists a tree such that σX < ε but X cannot be covered by any 1-chain. These are partial solutions of some well-known problems in continua theory.
Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute -set, then contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute -set, then contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable power of...
It is shown that for every integer n the (2n+1)th power of any locally path-connected metrizable space of the first Baire category is 𝓐₁[n]-universal, i.e., contains a closed topological copy of each at most n-dimensional metrizable σ-compact space. Also a one-dimensional σ-compact absolute retract X is found such that the power X^{n+1} is 𝓐₁[n]-universal for every n.
We will construct weakly infinite-dimensional (in the sense of Y. Smirnov) spaces X and Y such that Y contains X topologically and and . Consequently, the subspace theorem does not hold for the transfinite dimension dim for weakly infinite-dimensional spaces.
In this note, we introduce the concept of weakly monotonically monolithic spaces, and show that every weakly monotonically monolithic space is a -space. Thus most known conclusions on -spaces can be obtained by this conclusion. As a corollary, we have that if a regular space is sequential and has a point-countable -network then is a -space.
Improving the recent result of the author we show that is equivalent to for every subgroup of a Hausdorff locally compact group .
