A new fixed-point theorem for contractive mappings.
Given an arbitrary countable subgroup of the torus, containing infinitely many rationals, we construct a strictly ergodic 0-1 Toeplitz flow with pure point spectrum equal to . For a large class of Toeplitz flows certain eigenvalues are induced by eigenvalues of the flow Y which can be seen along the aperiodic parts.
E. Pannwitz showed in 1952 that for any n ≥ 2, there exist continuous maps φ:Sⁿ→ Sⁿ and f:Sⁿ→ ℝ² such that f(x) ≠ f(φ(x)) for any x∈ Sⁿ. We prove that, under certain conditions, given continuous maps ψ,φ:X→ X and f:X→ ℝ², although the existence of a point x∈ X such that f(ψ(x)) = f(φ(x)) cannot always be assured, it is possible to establish an interesting relation between the points f(φ ψ(x)), f(φ²(x)) and f(ψ²(x)) when f(φ(x)) ≠ f(ψ(x)) for any x∈ X, and a non-standard version of the Borsuk-Ulam...
The clone of a topological space is known to have a strictly more expressive first-order language than that of the monoid of continuous self-maps. The current paper studies coclones of topological spaces (i.e. clones in the category dual to that of topological spaces and continuous maps) and proves that, in contrast to clones, the first-order properties of coclones cannot express anything more than those of the monoid, except for the case of discrete and indiscrete spaces.
In [3], Kinoshita defined the notion of and he proved that each compact AR has In [4], Yonezawa gave some examples of not locally connected continua with f.p.p., but without In general, for each n=1,2,..., there is an n-dimensional continuum with f.p.p., but without such that is locally (n-2)-connected (see [4, Addendum]). In this note, we show that for each n-dimensional continuum X which is locally (n-1)-connected, X has f.p.p. if and only if X has
Solecki has shown that a broad natural class of ideals of compact sets can be represented through the ideal of nowhere dense subsets of a closed subset of the hyperspace of compact sets. In this note we show that the closed subset in this representation can be taken to be closed upwards.
We consider dynamical systems on a separable metric space containing at least two points. It is proved that weak topological mixing implies generic chaos, but the converse is false. As an application, some results of Piórek are simply reproved.
