A scadic space is a Hausdorff continuous image of a product of compact scattered spaces. We complete a theorem begun by G. Chertanov that will establish that for each scadic space X, χ(X) = w(X). A ξ-adic space is a Hausdorff continuous image of a product of compact ordinal spaces. We introduce an either-or chain condition called Property which we show is satisfied by all ξ-adic spaces. Whereas Property is productive, we show that a weaker (but more natural) Property is not productive. Polyadic...
We prove that for an unbounded metric space , the minimal character of a point of the Higson corona of is equal to if has asymptotically isolated balls and to otherwise. This implies that under a metric space of bounded geometry is coarsely equivalent to the Cantor macro-cube if and only if and . This contrasts with a result of Protasov saying that under CH the coronas of any two asymptotically zero-dimensional unbounded metric separable spaces are homeomorphic.
It is proved that any two composants of any two solenoids are homeomorphic.
For any class 𝒦 of compacta and any compactum X we say that: (a) X is confluently 𝒦-representable if X is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of members of 𝒦 with confluent bonding mappings, and (b) X is confluently 𝒦-like provided that X admits, for every ε >0, a confluent ε-mapping onto a member of 𝒦. The symbol 𝕃ℂ stands for the class of all locally connected compacta. It is proved in this paper that for each compactum X and each family 𝒦 of graphs, X is confluently...
