On compactifications with path connected remainders

We prove that every separable and metrizable space admits a metrizable compactification with a remainder that is both path connected and locally path connected. This result answers a question of P. Simon.

On the resolvability of locally connected spaces

We solve a problem of Padmavally about resolvability of locally connected spaces, in the case where the space under consideration is regular.

     

On countable connected locally connected almost regular Urysohn spaces

We construct connected, locally connected, almost regular, countable, Urysohn spaces. This answers a problem of G.X. Ritter. We show that there are 2^c such non-homeomorphic spaces. We also show that there are 2^c non-homeomorphic spaces which are further rigid. We discuss the group of homeomorphisms of such spaces.The following question was raised by G.X. Ritter: Does there exist a countable connected locally connected Urysohn space which is almost regular? We answer this question in the affirmative and in fact, show that not only are there as many as 2^c such spaces but that there are just as many rigid spaces with the same properties. Furthermore we show that every countable Urysohn space is a subspace of such a space. We also prove that every countable group is isomorphic to the group of autohomeomorphisms of some connected locally connected almost regular Urysohn space. Examples are given of groups of order c which can be represented in this manner.

A generalization of 2-homogeneous continua being locally connected

An elementary proof is given that if each pair of points of a homogeneous metric continuum can be mapped by a homeomorphism into an arbitrarily small connected set, then the continuum is locally connected.

     

An example of a nonarcwise connected rim-countable locally connected continuum

An example of a rim-countable, locally connected, but nonarcwise connected continuum is constructed, which is important for the classification of locally connected continua. The point of interest in this result is that there are no metrizable locally connected continua with the above properties.

The invariance of inner and outer linearly locally connected sets under quasiconformal mappings

In this paper, we prove that the inner and outer linearly locally connected sets of Rn are invariant respectively under quasiconformal mappings which fixed the point at infinity. On the other hand, we prove the converses of above results to be true also.     

On planarity of compact, locally connected, metric spaces

Independently, Claytor [Ann. Math. 35 (1934), 809–835] and Thomassen [Combinatorica 24 (2004), 699–718] proved that a 2-connected, compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K ₅ or K _3;3. The “thumbtack space” consisting of a disc plus an arc attaching just at the centre of the disc shows the assumption of 2-connectedness cannot be dropped. In this work, we introduce “generalized thumbtacks” and show that a compact, locally connected metric space is homeomorphic to a subset of the sphere if and only if it does not contain K ₅, K _3;3, or any generalized thumbtack, or the disjoint union of a sphere and a point.     

A note on closed images of locally compact metric spaces

Summary A decomposition theorem about closed images of locally compact metric spaces is discussed. It is shown that a space is a closed image of a locally compact metric space if and only if it is a regular Fréchet space with a point-countable k-network, and each of its closed first-countable subset is locally compact.     

Backward stability for polynomial maps with locally connected Julia sets

We study topological dynamics on unshielded planar continua with weak expanding properties at cycles for which we prove that the absence of wandering continua implies backward stability. Then we deduce from this that a polynomial with a locally connected Julia set is backward stable outside any neighborhood of its attracting and neutral cycles. For a conformal measure this easily implies that one of the following holds: 1. for -a.e. , ; 2. for -a.e. , for a critical point depending on .

     

The locally uniformly non‐square points of Orlicz–Bochner sequence spaces

In this paper, we investigate the locally uniformly non‐square point of Orlicz–Bochner sequence spaces endowed with Luxemburg norm. Analysing and combining the generating function M and properties of the real Banach space X , we get sufficient and necessary conditions of locally uniformly non‐square point, which contributes to criteria for locally uniform non‐squareness in Orlicz–Bochner sequence spaces. The results generalize the corresponding results in the classical Orlicz sequence spaces.     

Nowhere‐zero 3‐flows in locally connected graphs

Let G be a graph. For each vertex v ∈V(G), N_v denotes the subgraph induces by the vertices adjacent to v in G. The graph G is locally k‐edge‐connected if for each vertex v ∈V(G), N_v is k‐edge‐connected. In this paper we study the existence of nowhere‐zero 3‐flows in locally k‐edge‐connected graphs. In particular, we show that every 2‐edge‐connected, locally 3‐edge‐connected graph admits a nowhere‐zero 3‐flow. This result is best possible in the sense that there exists an infinite family of 2‐edge‐connected, locally 2‐edge‐connected graphs each of which does not have a 3‐NZF. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The group of isometries of a locally compact metric space with one end

In this note we study the dynamics of the natural evaluation action of the group of isometries G of a locally compact metric space (X,d) with one end. Using the notion of pseudo-components introduced by S. Gao and A.S. Kechris we show that X has only finitely many pseudo-components exactly one of which is not compact and G acts properly on this pseudo-component. The complement of the non-compact component is a compact subset of X and G may fail to act properly on it.     

Remarks on the structure of the fixed-point sets of uniformly lipschitzian mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces

It is shown, by asymptotic center techniques, that the set of fixed points of any uniformly k-lipschitzian mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space is a retract of the domain when k is less than a constant bigger than the constant from the paper [K. Goebel, W.A. Kirk, A fixed point theorem for transformations whose iterates have uniform Lipschitz constant, Studia Math. 47 (1973) 135-140]. Our result improves a recently result presented in [E. S?d?ak, A. Wi?nicki, On the structure of fixed-point sets of uniformly lipschitzian mappings, Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 30 (2007) 345-350].     

Weaker connected and weaker nowhere locally compact topologies for metrizable and similar spaces

We prove that any metrizable non-compact space has a weaker metrizable nowhere locally compact topology. As a consequence, any metrizable non-compact space has a weaker Hausdorff connected topology. The same is established for any Hausdorff space X with a σ-locally finite base whose weight w(X) is a successor cardinal.
