We prove that if a separable metrizable $X$ is a union of two disjoint 0-dimensional sets $E$, $F$, $E$ is absolutely $G_{\delta}$ and $F$ is absolutely $F_{\sigma\delta}$ then there is a closed embedding $h$ into the union of countable…

We show that if $X$ is a separable locally compact Hausdorff connected space with fewer than $\mathfrak c$ non-cut points, then $X$ embeds into a dendrite $D\subseteq \mathbb R ^2$, and the set of non-cut points of $X$ is a nowhere dense…

The following is an open problem in topology: Determine whether the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a widely-connected space is necessarily an indecomposable continuum. Herein we describe properties of $X$ that are necessary and…

We show that if $f\colon I\to I$ is piecewise monotone, post-critically finite, and locally eventually onto, then for every point $x\in X=\underleftarrow{\lim}(I,f)$ there exists a planar embedding of $X$ such that $x$ is accessible. In…

We prove that for a chainable continuum $X$ and every non-zigzag $x\in X$ there exists a planar embedding $\phi:X\to \phi(X)\subset\mathbb R^2$ such that $\phi(x)$ is accessible, partially answering the question of Nadler and Quinn from…

A set $A$ in a finite dimensional Euclidean space is \emph{monovex} if for every two points $x,y \in A$ there is a continuous path within the set that connects $x$ and $y$ and is monotone (nonincreasing or nondecreasing) in each coordinate.…

A metric continuum $X$ is indecomposable if it cannot be put as the union of two of its proper subcontinua. A subset $R$ of $X$ is said to be continuumwise connected provided that for each pair of points $p,q\in R$, there exists a…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $X$ be a smooth integral variety over $K$, and assume that there exists a finite set of finite places $S$ of $K$ such that the $S$-integral points on $X$ are dense. Then the combined conjectures of Campana and…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a quasiaffine homogeneous space of $G$ to be embeddable into an irreducible $G$-module. In addition, for an affine homogeneous space we find a…

We show that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum, then any continuum which is the union of $X$ and a ray $R$ such that $X \cap R = \emptyset$ and $\overline{R} \setminus R \subseteq X$ can be embedded in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Further, we…

Let $j:Y \to X$ be a continuous surjection of compact metric spaces. Whyburn proved that $j$ is irreducible, meaning that $j(F) \subsetneq X$ for any proper closed subset $F \subsetneq Y$, if and only if $j$ is almost one-to-one, in the…

We prove that a closed convex subset $C$ of a real Hilbert space $X$ has the fixed point property for $(c)$-mappings if and only if $C$ is bounded. Some convergence results about the iterations are obtained.

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

We show that if $D \subset \mathbb P^N$ is obtained from a codimension two local complete intersection $C$ by adding embedded points of multiplicity $\leq 3$, then $D$ is a flat limit of $C$ and isolated points. As applications, we…

We show that any finitely connected domain $U\subset\CC$ can be properly embedded into $\CC^2$. For some sequences $\{p_j\}\subset U$, $U\setminus\{p_j\}$ can also be properly embedded into $\CC^2$.

Let U be the open unit disc in C and let B be the open unit ball in C^2. We prove that every discrete subset of B is contained in the range f(U) of a complete, proper holomorphic embedding f:U-->B. Here the completeness of f means that for…

We construct two connected plane sets which can be embedded into rational curves. The first is a biconnected set with a dispersion point. It answers a question of Joachim Grispolakis. The second is indecomposable. Both examples are…

We consider the problem of finding embeddings of arc-like continua in the plane for which each point in a given subset is accessible. We establish that, under certain conditions on an inverse system of arcs, there exists a plane embedding…

We prove that if $X$ is a topological space that admits Debreu's classical utility theorem (eg.\ $X$ is separable and connected, second countable, etc.), then order relations on $X$ satisfying milder completeness conditions can be…

Suppose $Y$ is a continuum, $x\in Y$, and $X$ is the union of all nowhere dense subcontinua of $Y$ containing $x$. Suppose further that there exists $y\in Y$ such that every connected subset of $X$ limiting to $y$ is dense in $X$. And,…
