Planarity of compactifications of $\mathbb{R}$ with arc-like remainder

General Topology 2024-10-01 v1

Abstract

We show that if XX is an arc-like continuum, then any continuum which is the union of XX and a ray RR such that XR=X \cap R = \emptyset and RRX\overline{R} \setminus R \subseteq X can be embedded in the plane R2\mathbb{R}^2. Further, we prove that any compactification of a line with remainder XX is also embeddable in R2\mathbb{R}^2 -- answering a question of Sam B. Nadler from 1972.
