Finite-dimensional maps and dendrites with dense sets of end points

Hisao Kato, Eiichi Matsuhashi (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The first author has recently proved that if f: X → Y is a k-dimensional map between compacta and Y is p-dimensional (0 ≤ k, p < ∞), then for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p + k, the set of maps g in the space C ( X , I p + 2 k + 1 - i ) such that the diagonal product f × g : X Y × I p + 2 k + 1 - i is an (i+1)-to-1 map is a dense G δ -subset of C ( X , I p + 2 k + 1 - i ) . In this paper, we prove that if f: X → Y is as above and D j (j = 1,..., k) are superdendrites, then the set of maps h in C ( X , j = 1 k D j × I p + 1 - i ) such that f × h : X Y × ( j = 1 k D j × I p + 1 - i ) is (i+1)-to-1 is a dense G δ -subset of C ( X , j = 1 k D j × I p + 1 - i ) for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p.

Finite-to-one maps and dimension

Jerzy Krzempek (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is shown that for every at most k-to-one closed continuous map f from a non-empty n-dimensional metric space X, there exists a closed continuous map g from a zero-dimensional metric space onto X such that the composition f∘g is an at most (n+k)-to-one map. This implies that f is a composition of n+k-1 simple ( = at most two-to-one) closed continuous maps. Stronger conclusions are obtained for maps from Anderson-Choquet spaces and ones that satisfy W. Hurewicz's condition (α). The main tool is...

First countable spaces without point-countable π-bases

István Juhász, Lajos Soukup, Zoltán Szentmiklóssy (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We answer several questions of V. Tkachuk [Fund. Math. 186 (2005)] by showing that ∙ there is a ZFC example of a first countable, 0-dimensional Hausdorff space with no point-countable π-base (in fact, the minimum order of a π-base of the space can be made arbitrarily large); ∙ if there is a κ-Suslin line then there is a first countable GO-space of cardinality κ⁺ in which the order of any π-base is at least κ; ∙ it is consistent to have a first countable,...

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.

Free spaces

Jian Song, E. Tymchatyn (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A space Y is called a free space if for each compactum X the set of maps with hereditarily indecomposable fibers is a dense G δ -subset of C(X,Y), the space of all continuous functions of X to Y. Levin proved that the interval I and the real line ℝ are free. Krasinkiewicz independently proved that each n-dimensional manifold M (n ≥ 1) is free and the product of any space with a free space is free. He also raised a number of questions about the extent of the class of free spaces. In this paper we will...

Fully closed maps and non-metrizable higher-dimensional Anderson-Choquet continua

Jerzy Krzempek (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Fedorchuk's fully closed (continuous) maps and resolutions are applied in constructions of non-metrizable higher-dimensional analogues of Anderson, Choquet, and Cook's rigid continua. Certain theorems on dimension-lowering maps are proved for inductive dimensions and fully closed maps from spaces that need not be hereditarily normal, and some of the examples of continua we construct have non-coinciding dimensions.
