Abstract

We consider properties of the diagonal of a continuum that are used later in the paper. We continue the study of TT-closed subsets of a continuum XX. We prove that for a continuum XX, the statements: ΔX\Delta_X is a nonblock subcontinuum of X2X^2, ΔX\Delta_X is a shore subcontinuum of X2X^2 and ΔX\Delta_X is not a strong centre of X2X^2 are equivalent, this result answers in the negative Questions 35 and 36 and Question 38 (i{4,5}i\in\{4,5\}) of the paper ``Diagonals on the edge of the square of a continuum, by A. Illanes, V. Mart\'inez-de-la-Vega, J. M. Mart\'inez-Montejano and D. Michalik''. We also include an example, giving a negative answer to Question 1.2 of the paper ``Concerning when F1(X)F_1(X) is a continuum of colocal connectedness in hyperspaces and symmetric products, Colloquium Math., 160 (2020), 297-307'', by V. Mart\'inez-de-la-Vega, J. M. Mart\'inez-Montejano. We characterised the TT-closed subcontinua of the square of the pseudo-arc. We prove that the TT-closed sets of the product of two continua is compact if and only if such product is locally connected. We show that for a chainable continuum XX, ΔX\Delta_X is a TT-closed subcontinuum of X2X^2 if and only if XX is an arc. We prove that if XX is a continuum with the property of Kelley, then the following are equivalent: ΔX\Delta_X is a TT-closed subcontinuum of X2X^2, X2ΔXX^2\setminus\Delta_X is strongly continuumwise connected, ΔX\Delta_X is a subcontinuum of colocal connectedness, and X2ΔXX^2\setminus\Delta_X is continuumwise connected. We give models for the families of TT-closed sets and TT-closed subcontinua of various families of continua.
