SOME THEOREMS ON n-HOMOGENEOUS CONTINUA

Some Theorems on Continua

PROOF. Let {Gn} and {Hn} denote monotonie decreasing sequences of open sets which close down upon .Pi and F2 respectively. We may suppose that d and Hi are so chosen that G i # i = 0. Now, by Mullikin's theorem, there is a connected subset of C— C(Gw+27n) which has a limit point in Gn and a limit point in Hn. The closure of such a connected set is a subcontinuum of C which "extends" from Gn to ...

Certain Homogeneous Unicoherent Indecomposable Continua

A simple closed curve is the simplest example of a compact, nondegenerate, homogeneous continuum. If a bounded, nondegenerate, homogeneous plane continuum has any local connectedness property, even of the weakest sort, it is known to be a simple closed curve [l, 2, 3].1 The recent discovery of a bounded, nondegenerate, homogenous plane continuum which does not separate the plane [4, 5] has give...

A Complete Classification of Homogeneous Plane Continua

We show that the only compact and connected subsets (i.e. continua) X of the plane R2 which contain more than one point and are homogeneous, in the sense that the group of homeomorphisms of X acts transitively on X, are, up to homeomorphism, the circle S1, the pseudo-arc, and the circle of pseudo-arcs. These latter two spaces are fractal-like objects which do not contain any arcs. It follows th...
