Embedding planar compacta in planar continua with application: homotopic maps between planar Peano continua are characterized by the fundamental group homomorphism

Algebraic Topology 2009-03-22 v2

Abstract

A planar compactum with connected complement can be an embedded in a cellular continuum by attaching a null sequence of arcs. Two based maps f and g from a planar Peano continuum X to a planar set Y are homotopic iff f and g induce the same homomorphism between fundamental groups.
