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…

Let $X$ be a smooth fan and denote its set of endpoints by $E(X)$. Let $E$ be one of the following spaces: the natural numbers, the irrational numbers, or the product of the Cantor set with the natural numbers. We prove that there is a…

Let $s\in (0,1)$, and let $F\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a self similar set such that $0 < \dim_H F \leq s$ . We prove that there exists $\delta= \delta(s) >0$ such that if $F$ admits an affine embedding into a homogeneous self similar set $E$…

Let $E, F\subset \R^d$ be two self-similar sets. Under mild conditions, we show that $F$ can be $C^1$-embedded into $E$ if and only if it can be affinely embedded into $E$; furthermore if $F$ can not be affinely embedded into $E$, then the…

We study the problem of Nadler and Quinn from 1972, which asks whether, given an arc-like continuum $X$ and a point $x \in X$, there exists an embedding of $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for which $x$ is an accessible point. We develop the notion of…

This paper deals with retraction - intended as isomorphic embedding - in intersection types building left and right inverses as terms of a lambda calculus with a bottom constant. The main result is a necessary and sufficient condition two…

Let $E, F\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ be two self-similar sets, and suppose that $F$ can be affinely embedded into $E$. Under the assumption that $E$ is dust-like and has a small Hausdorff dimension, we prove the logarithmic commensurability between…

In this paper we continue the study of good re-embeddings of affine K-algebras started in [KLR]. The idea is to use special linear projections to find isomorphisms between a given affine K-algebra K[X]/I, where X=(x_1,...,x_n), and…

We obtain the following embedding theorem for symbolic dynamical systems. Let $G$ be a countable amenable group with the comparison property. Let $X$ be a strongly aperiodic subshift over $G$. Let $Y$ be a strongly irreducible shift of…

We consider a family of inverse limits of inverse sequences of closed unit intervals with a single upper semi-continuous set-valued bonding function whose graph is an arc; it is the union of two line segments in $[0,1]^2$, both of them…

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…

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.

We prove existence of extension dimension for paracompact spaces. Here is the main result of the paper: \proclaim{Theorem} Suppose X is a paracompact space. There is a CW complex K such that {a.} K is an absolute extensor of X up to…

The famous Jacobian Conjecture asks if a morphism $f:K[x,y]\to K[x,y]$ with invertible Jacobian, is invertible ($K$ is a characteristic zero field). A known result says that if $K[f(x),f(y)] \subseteq K[x,y]$ is an integral extension, then…

Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a class of finite groups closed under subgroups, homomorphic images, and extensions. We study the question which goes back to the lectures of H. Wielandt in 1963-64: For a given $\mathfrak{X}$-subgroup $K$ and maximal…

Let $F,E\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ be two self similar sets. First, assuming $F$ is generated by an IFS $\Phi$ with strong separation, we characterize the affine maps $g:\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ such that $g(F)\subseteq F$. Our…

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…

For topological spaces $X$ and $Y$, a (not necessarily continuous) function $f:X \rightarrow Y$ naturally induces a functor from the category of closed subsets of $X$ (with morphisms given by inclusions) to the category of closed subsets of…

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…

We prove that the existence of a $1$-Lipschitz retraction (a contraction) from a space $X$ onto its subspace $A$ implies the persistence diagram of $A$ embeds into the persistence diagram of $X$. As a tool we introduce tight injections of…
