n-Arc connected spaces

Benjamin Espinoza, Paul Gartside, Ana Mamatelashvili (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A space is n-arc connected (n-ac) if any family of no more than n-points are contained in an arc. For graphs the following are equivalent: (i) 7-ac, (ii) n-ac for all n, (iii) continuous injective image of a closed subinterval of the real line, and (iv) one of a finite family of graphs. General continua that are ℵ₀-ac are characterized. The complexity of characterizing n-ac graphs for n = 2,3,4,5 is determined to be strictly higher than that of the stated characterization of 7-ac graphs.

No arc-connected treelike continuum is the 2-to-1 image of a continuum

Jo Heath, Van C. Nall (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In 1940, O. G. Harrold showed that no arc can be the exactly 2-to-1 continuous image of a metric continuum, and in 1947 W. H. Gottschalk showed that no dendrite is a 2-to-1 image. In 2003 we show that no arc-connected treelike continuum is the 2-to-1 image of a continuum.

Non-additivity of the fixed point property for tree-like continua

C. L. Hagopian, M. M. Marsh (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate the fixed point property for tree-like continua that are unions of tree-like continua. We obtain a positive result if finitely many tree-like continua with the fixed point property have dendrites for pairwise intersections. Using Bellamy's seminal example, we define (i) a countable wedge X̂ of tree-like continua, each having the fpp, and X̂ admitting a fixed-point-free homeomorphism, and (ii) two tree-like continua H and K such that H, K, and H∩ K have the fixed point property, but...

Nonhyperbolic one-dimensional invariant sets with a countably infinite collection of inhomogeneities

Chris Good, Robin Knight, Brian Raines (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We examine the structure of countable closed invariant sets under a dynamical system on a compact metric space. We are motivated by a desire to understand the possible structures of inhomogeneities in one-dimensional nonhyperbolic sets (inverse limits of finite graphs), particularly when those inhomogeneities form a countable set. Using tools from descriptive set theory we prove a surprising restriction on the topological structure of these invariant sets if the map satisfies a weak repelling or...

Non-separating subcontinua of planar continua

D. Daniel, C. Islas, R. Leonel, E. D. Tymchatyn (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We revisit an old question of Knaster by demonstrating that each non-degenerate plane hereditarily unicoherent continuum X contains a proper, non-degenerate subcontinuum which does not separate X.

Notes on monotone Lindelöf property

Ai-Jun Xu, Wei-Xue Shi (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which a generalized ordered topological product (GOTP) of two GO-spaces is monotonically Lindelöf.

Notes on Retracts of Coset Spaces

J. van Mill, G. J. Ridderbos (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We study retracts of coset spaces. We prove that in certain spaces the set of points that are contained in a component of dimension less than or equal to n, is a closed set. Using our techniques we are able to provide new examples of homogeneous spaces that are not coset spaces. We provide an example of a compact homogeneous space which is not a coset space. We further provide an example of a compact metrizable space which is a retract of a homogeneous compact space, but which is not a retract of...
