On maps preserving connectedness and/or compactness

István Juhász, Jan van Mill (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We call a function f : X Y P-preserving if, for every subspace A X with property P, its image f ( A ) also has property P. Of course, all continuous maps are both compactness- and connectedness-preserving and the natural question about when the converse of this holds, i.e. under what conditions such a map is continuous, has a long history. Our main result is that any nontrivial product function, i.e. one having at least two nonconstant factors, that has connected domain, T 1 range, and is connectedness-preserving...

On Mazurkiewicz sets

Marta N. Charatonik, Włodzimierz J. Charatonik (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A Mazurkiewicz set M is a subset of a plane with the property that each straight line intersects M in exactly two points. We modify the original construction to obtain a Mazurkiewicz set which does not contain vertices of an equilateral triangle or a square. This answers some questions by L.D. Loveland and S.M. Loveland. We also use similar methods to construct a bounded noncompact, nonconnected generalized Mazurkiewicz set.

On open light mappings

Władysław Makuchowski (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Whyburn has proved that each open mapping defined on arc (a simple closed curve) is light. Charatonik and Omiljanowski have proved that each open mapping defined on a local dendrite is light. Theorem 3.8 is an extension of these results.
