The nonexistence of expansive homeomorphisms of chainable continua

Hisao Kato (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A homeomorphism f:X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x ≠ y, then there is an integer n ∈ ℤ such that d ( f n ( x ) , f n ( y ) ) > c . In this paper, we prove that if a homeomorphism f:X → X of a continuum X can be lifted to an onto map h:P → P of the pseudo-arc P, then f is not expansive. As a corollary, we prove that there are no expansive homeomorphisms on chainable continua. This is an affirmative answer to one of Williams’ conjectures.

The Peano curves as limit of α-dense curves.

G. Mora (2005)

RACSAM

En este artículo presentamos una caracterización de las curvas de Peano como límite uniforme de sucesiones de curvas α-densas en el compacto que es llenado por la curva de Peano. Estas curvas α-densas deben tener densidades tendiendo a cero y sus funciones coordenadas deben de ser de variación tendiendo a infinito cuando α tiende a cero.

The product of two ordinals is hereditarily dually discrete

M.Á. Gaspar-Arreola, F. Hernández-Hernández (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In Dually discrete spaces, Topology Appl. 155 (2008), 1420–1425, Alas et. al. proved that ordinals are hereditarily dually discrete and asked whether the product of two ordinals has the same property. In Products of certain dually discrete spaces, Topology Appl. 156 (2009), 2832–2837, Peng proved a number of partial results and left open the question of whether the product of two stationary subsets of ω 1 is dually discrete. We answer the first question affirmatively and as a consequence also give...

The rank of the diagonal and submetrizability

Aleksander V. Arhangel'skii, Raushan Z. Buzyakova (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Several topological properties lying between the submetrizability and the G δ -diagonal property are studied. We are mostly interested in their relationship to each other and to the submetrizability. The first example of a Tychonoff space with a regular G δ -diagonal but without a zero-set diagonal is given. The same example shows that a Tychonoff separable space with a regular G δ -diagonal need not be submetrizable. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for submetrizability of a regular separable...

The set functions 𝓣 and 𝒦 and irreducible continua

Leobardo Fernández, Sergio Macías (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the set functions 𝓣 and 𝒦 on irreducible continua. We present several properties of these functions when defined on irreducible continua. In particular, we characterize the class of irreducible continua for which these functions are continuous. We also characterize the class of 𝒦-symmetric irreducible continua.

The solenoids are the only circle-like continua that admit expansive homeomorphisms

Christopher Mouron (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A homeomorphism h:X → X of a compactum X is expansive provided that for some fixed c > 0 and any distinct x, y ∈ X there exists an integer n, dependent only on x and y, such that d(hⁿ(x),hⁿ(y)) > c. It is shown that if X is a circle-like continuum that admits an expansive homeomorphism, then X is homeomorphic to a solenoid.
