A study of universal elements in classes of bases of topological spaces

Dimitris N. Georgiou, Athanasios C. Megaritis, Inderasan Naidoo, Fotini Sereti (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The universality problem focuses on finding universal spaces in classes of topological spaces. Moreover, in “Universal spaces and mappings” by S. D. Iliadis (2005), an important method of constructing such universal elements in classes of spaces is introduced and explained in details. Simultaneously, in “A topological dimension greater than or equal to the classical covering dimension” by D. N. Georgiou, A. C. Megaritis and F. Sereti (2017), new topological dimension is introduced and studied, which...

A weakly chainable uniquely arcwise connected continuum without the fixed point property

Mirosław Sobolewski (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A continuum is a metric compact connected space. A continuum is chainable if it is an inverse limit of arcs. A continuum is weakly chainable if it is a continuous image of a chainable continuum. A space X is uniquely arcwise connected if any two points in X are the endpoints of a unique arc in X. D. P. Bellamy asked whether if X is a weakly chainable uniquely arcwise connected continuum then every mapping f: X → X has a fixed point. We give a counterexample.

AANR spaces and absolute retracts for tree-like continua

Janusz Jerzy Charatonik, Janusz R. Prajs (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Continua that are approximative absolute neighborhood retracts (AANR’s) are characterized as absolute terminal retracts, i.e., retracts of continua in which they are embedded as terminal subcontinua. This implies that any AANR continuum has a dense arc component, and that any ANR continuum is an absolute terminal retract. It is proved that each absolute retract for any of the classes of: tree-like continua, λ -dendroids, dendroids, arc-like continua and arc-like λ -dendroids is an approximative absolute...
