A theorem on common fixed points of expansion type mappings in cone metric spaces.
Let be a -semigroup with unbounded generator . We prove that has generically a very irregular behaviour for as .
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.
A closed subset of the real line which is right porous but is not -left-porous is constructed.
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, -dendroids, dendroids, arc-like continua and arc-like -dendroids is an approximative absolute...
We study a class of abelian groups that can be defined as Polish pro-countable groups, as non-archimedean groups with a compatible two-sided invariant metric or as quasi-countable groups, i.e., closed subdirect products of countable discrete groups, endowed with the product topology. We show that for every non-locally compact, abelian quasi-countable group G there exists a closed L ≤ G and a closed, non-locally compact K ≤ G/L which is a direct product of discrete countable groups....
