We recall a characterization of hereditary indecomposability originally obtained by Krasinkiewicz and Minc, and show how it may be used to give unified constructions of various hereditarily indecomposable continua. In particular we answer a…

E.D. Tymchatyn constructed a hereditarily locally connected continuum which can be approximated by a sequence of mutually disjoint arcs. We show the example re-opens a conjecture of G.T. Seidler and H. Kato about continua which admit…

We show that the Continuum Hypothesis is consistent with all regular spaces of hereditarily countable $\pi$-character being C-closed. This gives us a model of ZFC in which the Continuum Hypothesis holds and compact Hausdorff spaces of…

In this paper we investigate hereditarily normal topological groups and their subspaces. We prove that every compact subspace of a hereditarily normal topological group is metrizable. To prove this statement we first show that a…

We show that every infinite crowded space can be mapped onto a homogeneous space of countable weight, and that there is a homogeneous space of weight continuum that cannot be mapped onto a homogeneous space of uncountable weight strictly…

We will show that, consistently, every uncountable set can be continuously mapped onto a non measure zero set, while there exists an uncountable set whose all continuous images into a Polish space are meager.

We prove a general factorization theorem for maps with hereditarily indecomposable fibers and apply it to reprove a theorem of Mackoviak on the existence of universal hereditarily indecomposable continua.

We prove that every continuum of weight aleph_1 is a continuous image of the Cech-Stone-remainder R^* of the real line. It follows that under CH the remainder of the half line [0,infty) is universal among the continua of weight c ---…

A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected first countable space is the image of a nonseparably connected complete metric space…

A uniformly continuously integrable sequence of real-valued measurable functions, defined on some probability space, is relatively compact in the $\sigma(L^1,L^\infty)$ topology. In this paper, we link such a result to weak convergence…

We show that it is consistent that for some uncountable cardinal k, all compactifications of the countable discrete space with remainders homeomorphic to $D^k$ are homeomorphic to each other. On the other hand, there are $2^c$ pairwise…

In this paper the theory of uniformly convex metric spaces is developed. These spaces exhibit a generalized convexity of the metric from a fixed point. Using a (nearly) uniform convexity property a simple proof of reflexivity is presented…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

Adapting a homotopy reconstruction theorem for general metric compacta, we show that every countable metric or ultrametric compact space can be topologically reconstructed as the inverse limit of a sequence of finite $T_0$ spaces which are…

In this paper we investigate the existence of metrics with weighted constant scalar curvature (wcscK for short) on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$: this notion include constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics, weighted solitons, Calabi's…

We prove that, consistently with ZFC, no ultraproduct of countably infinite (or separable metric, non-compact) structures is isomorphic to a reduced product of countable (or separable metric) structures associated to the Fr\'echet filter.…

Continuous mappings between compact Hausdorff spaces can be studied using homomorphisms between algebraic structures (lattices, Boolean algebras) associated with the spaces. This gives us more tools with which to tackle problems about these…

We extend the classical Feferman-Vaught theorem to logic for metric structures. This implies that the reduced powers of elementarily equivalent structures are elementarily equivalent, and therefore they are isomorphic under the Continuum…

Answering a question posed by Vladimir Tkachuk, we prove that every $T_1$ connected first-countable space is a continuous open image of a connected metrizable space.

We review results concerning homogeneous compacta and discuss some open questions. It is established that indecomposable continua are Alexandroff (resp., Mazurkiewicz, or strong Cantor) manifolds with respect to the class of all continua.…
