On partitions in cylinders over continua and a question of Krasinkiewicz

Mirosława Reńska (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that a metrizable continuum X is locally connected if and only if every partition in the cylinder over X between the bottom and the top of the cylinder contains a connected partition between these sets. J. Krasinkiewicz asked whether for every metrizable continuum X there exists a partiton L between the top and the bottom of the cylinder X × I such that L is a hereditarily indecomposable continuum. We answer this question in the negative. We also present a construction...

On quasi-uniform space valued semi-continuous functions

Tomasz Kubiak, María Angeles de Prada Vicente (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

F. van Gool [Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 33 (1992), 505–523] has introduced the concept of lower semicontinuity for functions with values in a quasi-uniform space ( R , 𝒰 ) . This note provides a purely topological view at the basic ideas of van Gool. The lower semicontinuity of van Gool appears to be just the continuity with respect to the topology T ( 𝒰 ) generated by the quasi-uniformity 𝒰 , so that many of his preparatory results become consequences of standard topological facts. In particular, when the order...

On self-homeomorphic dendrites

Janusz Jerzy Charatonik, Paweł Krupski (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is shown that for every numbers m 1 , m 2 { 3 , , ω } there is a strongly self-homeomorphic dendrite which is not pointwise self-homeomorphic. The set of all points at which the dendrite is pointwise self-homeomorphic is characterized. A general method of constructing a large family of dendrites with the same property is presented.
