On compact subsets of the plane

General Topology 2024-01-29 v1

Abstract

We construct a family F of compact and pathwise connected subsets of the Euclidean plane such that (i) the cardinality of F is that of the continuum (and hence extremely large) and (ii) if X,Y are distinct spaces in F then there never exists a topological embedding from X into Y.
