Sur les rétractes absolus Pn -valués de dimension finie

Robert Cauty (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that a k-dimensional hereditarily indecomposable metrisable continuum is not a P k -valued absolute retract. We deduce from this that none of the classical characterizations of ANR (metric) extends to the class of stratifiable spaces.

Sur l’invariance de la dimension infinie forte par t-équivalence

Robert Cauty (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X and Y be metric compacta such that there exists a continuous open surjection from C p ( Y ) onto C p ( X ) . We prove that if there exists an integer k such that X k is strongly infinite-dimensional, then there exists an integer p such that Y p is strongly infinite-dimensional.

The classification of circle-like continua that admit expansive homeomorphisms

Christopher Mouron (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A homeomorphism h: X → X of a compactum X is expansive provided that for some fixed c > 0 and every x, y ∈ X (x ≠ y) 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 solenoid that admits an expansive homeomorphism, then X is homeomorphic to a regular solenoid. It can then be concluded that a circle-like continuum admits an expansive homeomorphism if and only if it is homeomorphic to a regular solenoid.

The dimension of hyperspaces of non-metrizable continua

Wojciech Stadnicki (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X ≥ 2 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then either dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes some results known for metric continua.

The dimension of X^n where X is a separable metric space

John Kulesza (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a separable metric space X, we consider possibilities for the sequence S ( X ) = d n : n where d n = d i m X n . In Section 1, a general method for producing examples is given which can be used to realize many of the possible sequences. For example, there is X n such that S ( X n ) = n , n + 1 , n + 2 , . . . , Y n , for n >1, such that S ( Y n ) = n , n + 1 , n + 2 , n + 2 , n + 2 , . . . , and Z such that S(Z) = 4, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9,.... In Section 2, a subset X of 2 is shown to exist which satisfies 1 = d i m X = d i m X 2 and d i m X 3 = 2 .

The disjoint arcs property for homogeneous curves

Paweł Krupski (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The local structure of homogeneous continua (curves) is studied. Components of open subsets of each homogeneous curve which is not a solenoid have the disjoint arcs property. If the curve is aposyndetic, then the components are nonplanar. A new characterization of solenoids is formulated: a continuum is a solenoid if and only if it is homogeneous, contains no terminal nontrivial subcontinua and small subcontinua are not ∞-ods.
