A boundary set for the Hilbert cube containing no arcs
We formulate a conjectural formula for Khovanov's invariants of alternating knots in terms of the Jones polynomial and the signature of the knot.
Using the topologist sine curve we present a new functorial construction of cone-like spaces, starting in the category of all path-connected topological spaces with a base point and continuous maps, and ending in the subcategory of all simply connected spaces. If one starts from a noncontractible n-dimensional Peano continuum for any n > 0, then our construction yields a simply connected noncontractible (n + 1)-dimensional cell-like Peano continuum. In particular, starting from the circle 𝕊¹,...
We prove that for each countably infinite, regular space X such that is a -space, the topology of is determined by the class of spaces embeddable onto closed subsets of . We show that , whenever Borel, is of an exact multiplicative class; it is homeomorphic to the absorbing set for the multiplicative Borel class if . For each ordinal α ≥ 2, we provide an example such that is homeomorphic to .
