Abstract

For a metric Peano continuum XX, let SXS_X be a Sierpi\'nski function assigning to each ε>0\varepsilon>0 the smallest cardinality of a cover of XX by connected subsets of diameter ε\le \varepsilon. We prove that for any increasing function Ω:R+R+\Omega:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+ with (0,1]Ω[R+](0,1]\subseteq\Omega[\mathbb R_+] and s:=n=1SX(2n)m=nSX(2m)Ω1(min{1,26m})<s:=\sum_{n=1}^\infty S_X(2^{-n})\sum_{m=n}^\infty S_X(2^{-m})\,\Omega^{-1}(\min\{1,2^{6-m}\})<\infty there exists a continuous surjective function f:[0,s]Xf:[0,s]\to X with continuity modulus ωfΩ\omega_f\le\Omega. This controlled version of the classical Hahn-Mazurkiewicz Theorem implies that SDim(X)HDim(X)2SDim(X)SDim(X)\le HDim(X)\le 2{\cdot}SDim(X), where SDim(X)=lim supε0ln(SX(ε))ln(1/ε)SDim(X)=\limsup_{\varepsilon\to 0}\frac{\ln(S_X(\varepsilon))}{\ln(1/\varepsilon)} is the SS-dimension of XX, and HDim(X)=inf{α(0,]:HDim(X)=\inf\{\alpha\in (0,\infty]: there is a~surjective 1α\frac1\alpha-H\"older map f:[0,1]X}f:[0,1]\to X\} is the Ho¨lderH\ddot older dimensiondimension of XX.
