Simply Connected Homogeneous Continua Are Not Separated by Arcs

چکیده
We show that locally connected, simply connected homogeneous continua are not separated by arcs. We ask several questions about homogeneous continua which are inspired by analogous questions in geometric group theory.

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...
متن کاملSemi-terminal Continua in Kelley Spaces
A continuum K in a space X is said to be semi-terminal if at least one out of every two disjoint continua in X intersecting K is contained in K. Based on this concept, new structural results on Kelley continua are obtained. In particular, two decomposition theorems for Kelley continua are presented. One of these theorems is an improved version of the aposyndetic decomposition theorem for Kelley...
متن کاملOn 5-dimensional 2-step homogeneous randers nilmanifolds of Douglas type
In this paper we first obtain the non-Riemannian Randers metrics of Douglas type on two-step homogeneous nilmanifolds of dimension five. Then we explicitly give the flag curvature formulae and the $S$-curvature formulae for the Randers metrics of Douglas type on these spaces. Moreover, we prove that the only simply connected five-dimensional two-step homogeneous Randers nilmanifolds of D...
متن کاملSome Conditions under Which a Homogeneous Continuum Is a Simple Closed Curve1
In a recent paper [3], the author added a note in proof stating that two of the results could be strengthened by using the fact that a nondegenerate continuous curve is a simple closed curve if it is nearly homogeneous and is not a triod. It is the main purpose of this note to present a proof of this theorem and to state stronger forms of two results in [3]. Also, a theorem is presented that is...
متن کاملCountable Connected Hausdorff and Urysohn Bunches of Arcs in the Plane
In this paper, we answer a question by Krasinkiewicz, Reńska and Sobolewski by constructing countable connected Hausdorff and Urysohn spaces as quotient spaces of bunches of arcs in the plane. We also consider a generalization of graphs by allowing vertices to be continua and replacing edges by not necessarily connected sets. We require only that two “vertices” be in the same quasi-component of...
