On character and chain conditions in images of products

Murray Bell (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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 R λ ' which we show is satisfied by all ξ-adic spaces. Whereas Property R λ ' is productive, we show that a weaker (but more natural) Property R λ is not productive. Polyadic...

On character of points in the Higson corona of a metric space

Taras O. Banakh, Ostap Chervak, Lubomyr Zdomskyy (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that for an unbounded metric space X , the minimal character 𝗆 χ ( X ˇ ) of a point of the Higson corona X ˇ of X is equal to 𝔲 if X has asymptotically isolated balls and to max { 𝔲 , 𝔡 } otherwise. This implies that under 𝔲 < 𝔡 a metric space X of bounded geometry is coarsely equivalent to the Cantor macro-cube 2 < if and only if dim ( X ˇ ) = 0 and 𝗆 χ ( X ˇ ) = 𝔡 . 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.

On confluently graph-like compacta

Lex G. Oversteegen, Janusz R. Prajs (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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...
