A fan $F$ is \emph{endpoint-homogeneous} if for any two endpoints $e,e'$ of $F$, there is a homeomorphism $h: F \rightarrow F$ such that $h(e) = e'$. We prove there are uncountably many distinct homeomorphism types of endpoint-homogeneous…
The Lelek fan is the only smooth fan that has a dense set of end-points. In this paper, we study non-smooth fans with this property; i.e., we construct an uncountable family of pairwise non-homeomorphic such fans. Furthermore, we prove that…
The Lelek fan $L$ is usually constructed as a subcontinuum of the Cantor fan in such a way that the set of the end-points of $L$ is dense in $L$. It easily follows that the Lelek fan is embeddable into the Cantor fan. {It is also a…
We describe the Lelek fan, a smooth fan whose set of end-points is dense, and the Poulsen simplex, a Choquet simplex whose set of extreme points is dense, as Fra\"{i}ss\'e limits in certain natural categories of embeddings and projections.…
We construct a mixing homeomorphism on the Lelek fan. We also construct a mixing homeomorphism on the Cantor fan. Then, we construct a family of uncountably many pairwise non-homeomorphic (non-)smooth fans that admit a mixing homeomorphism.
Let $X$ be a smooth dendroid in the plane $\mathbb R^2$. We show that each endpoint of $X$ is arcwise accessible from $\mathbb R^2\setminus X$, and that the space of endpoints $E(X)$ has the property of a circle. In the event that $E(X)$ is…
We construct a family of uncountably many pairwise non-homeomorphic smooth fans that admit transitive homeomorphisms. In addition, we show that the star of Cantor fans admits a transitive homeomorphism.
Let $X$ be a complete toric variety. We give a criterion to decide whether $X$ decomposes as a product of complete toric varieties by analyzing the $1$-skeleton of its fan. More precisely, we prove that any direct-sum decomposition of the…
We generalize the finite version of Gowers' Ramsey theorem to multiple tetris-like operations and apply it to show that a group of homeomorphisms that preserve a "typical" linear order of branches of the Lelek fan, a compact connected…
We show that a natural quotient of the projective Fraisse limit of a family that consists of finite rooted trees is the Lelek fan. Using this construction, we study properties of the Lelek fan and of its homeomorphism group. We show that…
A new class of full fans in an euclidean space - tight fans - is introduced. Such fans are defined using a property of local symmetry in a face of a tiling. Tight fans are related to the theory of parallelotopes in an euclidean space. A…
The homogeneity degree of a topological space $X$ is the number of orbits of the action of the homeomorphism group of $X$ on $X$. We initiate a study of dendroids of small homogeneity degree, beginning with fans. We classify all smooth fans…
Let $X$ be a continuum and let $\varphi:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism. To construct a dynamical system $(X,\varphi)$ with interesting dynamical properties, the continuum $X$ often needs to have some complicated topological structure.…
We introduce admissible Minkowski decomposition data (amd) for a 3-dimensional reflexive polytope P. This notion is defined purely in terms of the combinatorics of P. Denoting by X the Gorenstein toric Fano 3-fold whose fan is the spanning…
We characterize the smooth toric varieties for which the Merkurjev spectral sequence, connecting equivariant and ordinary K-theory, degenerates. We find under which conditions on the support of the fan the $E^2$ terms of the spectral…
Many continua that admit a transitive homeomorphism may be found in the literature. The circle is probably the simplest non-degenerate continuum that admits such a homeomorphism. On the other hand, most of the known examples of such…
For any lattice congruence of the weak order on permutations, N. Reading proved that gluing together the cones of the braid fan that belong to the same congruence class defines a complete fan, called a quotient fan, and V. Pilaud and F.…
Recently, David S. Lipham has shown that if $X$ is an Erd\H{o}s space factor then the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathcal{F}(X)$ of finite subsets of $X$ is an Erd\H{o}s space factor. In this short note we prove that if $\mathfrak{E}$ denotes…
Suppose G is a topological group containing a (closed) topological copy of the Frechet-Urysohn fan. If G is a perfectly normal sequential space (a normal k-space) then every closed metrizable subset in $G$ is locally compact. Applying this…
Let M be the countably infinite metric fan. We show that C_k(M,2) is sequential and contains a closed copy of Arens space S_2. It follows that if X is metrizable but not locally compact, then C_k(X) contains a closed copy of S_2, and hence…
