Planar embeddings of chainable continua

General Topology 2019-11-25 v2

Abstract

We prove that for a chainable continuum XX and every non-zigzag xXx\in X there exists a planar embedding ϕ:Xϕ(X)R2\phi:X\to \phi(X)\subset\mathbb R^2 such that ϕ(x)\phi(x) is accessible, partially answering the question of Nadler and Quinn from 1972. Two embeddings ϕ,ψ:XR2\phi,\psi:X \to \mathbb R^2 are called strongly equivalent if ϕψ1:ψ(X)ϕ(X)\phi \circ \psi^{-1}: \psi(X) \to \phi(X) can be extended to a homeomorphism of R2\mathbb R^2. We also prove that every indecomposable chainable continuum can be embedded in the plane in uncountably many strongly non-equivalent ways.
