On the first homology of Peano continua

Gregory R. Conner, Samuel M. Corson (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the first homology group of a locally connected compact metric space is either uncountable or finitely generated. This is related to Shelah's well-known result (1988) which shows that the fundamental group of such a space satisfies a similar condition. We give an example of such a space whose fundamental group is uncountable but whose first homology is trivial, showing that our result does not follow from Shelah's. We clarify a claim made by Pawlikowski (1998) and offer a proof of the...

On universality of countable and weak products of sigma hereditarily disconnected spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power X ω of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute G δ σ -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute F σ δ -set, then X ω contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute G δ -set, then X ω contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable power X ω of...
