<p>It has been shown by S. Mardešić that if a compact metrizable space X has dim X ≥ 1 and X is the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of compact triangulated polyhedra with simplicial bonding maps, then X must contain an arc.  We are going  to prove that  if X = (|K<sub>a</sub>|,p<sup>b</sup><sub>a</sub>,(A,)<a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\preceq" target="_blank"><img title="\preceq" src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\preceq" alt="" /></a>)is an inverse system in set theory of triangulated polyhedra|K<sub>a</sub>|with simplicial  bonding  functions p<sup>b</sup><sub>a</sub> and X = lim X,  then  there  exists  a uniquely determined sub-inverse system X<sub>X</sub>= (|L<sub>a</sub>|, p<sup>b</sup><sub>a</sub>|L<sub>b</sub>|,(A,<a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=\preceq" target="_blank"><img title="\preceq" src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\preceq" alt="" /></a>)) of X where for each a, L<sub>a</sub> is a subcomplex of K<sub>a</sub>, each p<sup>b</sup><sub>a</sub>|L<sub>b</sub>|:|L<sub>b</sub>| → |L<sub>a</sub>| is  surjective,  and lim X<sub>X</sub> = X. We shall use this to generalize the Mardešić result by characterizing when the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of triangulated polyhedra with simplicial bonding maps must contain a topological n-cell and do the same in the case of an inverse system of finite triangulated polyhedra with simplicial bonding maps. We shall also characterize when the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of triangulated polyhedra with simplicial bonding maps must contain an embedded copy of the Hilbert cube. In each of the above settings, all the polyhedra have the weak topology or all have the metric topology(these topologies being identical when the polyhedra are finite).</p>

Abstract Let X be an infinite compact metrizable space having only a finite number of isolated points and Y be a non-degenerate dendrite with a distinguished end point v. For each continuous map ƒ : X → Y , we define the hypo-graph ↓vƒ = ∪ x∈X {x} × [v, ƒ (x)], where [v, ƒ (x)] is the unique arc from v to ƒ (x) in Y . Then we can regard ↓v C(X, Y ) = {↓vƒ | ƒ : X → Y is continuous} as the subspace of the hyperspace Cld(X × Y ) of nonempty closed sets in X × Y endowed with the Vietoris topology. Let be the closure of ↓v C(X, Y ) in Cld(X ×Y ). In this paper, we shall prove that the pair , ↓v C(X, Y )) is homeomorphic to (Q, c0), where Q = Iℕ is the Hilbert cube and c0 = {(xi )i∈ℕ ∈ Q | limi→∞xi = 0}.

The following lemma, which appears as Lemma 4 in [5], was used to determine certain multicoherence properties of inverse limits of continua.Lemma. Let X denote the inverse limit of an inverse system {Xλ, fλμ, Λ} of compact Hausdorff spaces Xλ. If Xλ has no more than k components (where k < ∞ is fixed) for each λ ∊ Λ, then X has no more than k components.In this paper we give a set theoretic analogue of this lemma and an extension which was suggested to the author by Professor F. W. Lawvere. An application to inverse limits of finite groups is then given.

AbstractLet A and B be separable nuclear continuous C(X)-algebras over a finite dimensional compact metrizable space X. It is shown that an element σ of the parametrized Kasparov group KKX(A,B) is invertible if and only all its fiberwise components σx ∈ KK(A(x),B(x)) are invertible. This criterion does not extend to infinite dimensional spaces since there exist nontrivial unital separable continuous fields over the Hilbert cube with all fibers isomorphic to the Cuntz algebra . Several applications to continuous fields of Kirchberg algebras are given. It is also shown that if each fiber of a separable nuclear continuous C(X)-algebra A over a finite dimensional locally compact space X satisfies the UCT, then A satisfies the UCT.

Abstract.We will show that the inverse limit of finite rank free groups with surjective connecting homomorphism is isomorphic either to a finite rank free group or to a fixed universal group. In other words, any inverse system of finite rank free groups which is not equivalent to an eventually constant system has the universal group as its limit. This universal inverse limit is naturally isomorphic to the first shape group of the Hawaiian earring. We also give an example of a homomorphic image of the Hawaiian earring group which lies in the inverse limit of free groups but is neither a free group nor isomorphic to the Hawaiian earring group.

An inverse limit of finite groups has been called in the literature a pro-finite group and we have extensive studies of profinite groups from the cohomological point of view by J. P. Serre. The general theory of non-abelian modules has not yet been developed and therefore we consider a generalization of profinite abelian groups. We study inverse systems of discrete finite length R-modules. Profinite modules are inverse limits of discrete finite length R-modules with the inverse limit topology.

AbstractWe study inverse limits of monounary algebras. All monounary algebras A such that A can arise from A only by an inverse limit construction are described. We deal with an existence of an inverse limit. Some inverse limit closed classes are described. The paper ends with two problems.

We formalize the notion of limit of an inverse system of metric spaces with $1$-Lipschitz projections having unbounded fibers. The construction is applied to the sequence of free Carnot groups of fixed rank $n$ and increasing step. In this case, the limit space is in correspondence with the space of signatures of rectifiable paths in $\mathbb R^n$, as introduced by Chen. Hambly-Lyons's result on the uniqueness of signature implies that this space is a geodesic metric tree. As a particular consequence we deduce that every path in $\mathbb R^n$ can be approximated by projections of some geodesics in some Carnot group of rank $n$, giving an evidence that the complexity of sub-Riemannian geodesics increases with the step.

AbstractIn proving the contractibility of certain hyperspaces J. L. Kelley identified and defined a certain uniformnessproperty which he called Property 3.2. It is known that the classes of locally connected continua, homogeneous continua and hereditarily indecomposable continua have Property 3.2. In this paper we prove that two examples of indecomposable continua developed respectively by the authors have Property 3.2. One is the example of a nonchainable atriodic tree-like continuum with positive span which was defined by the first author, and the other is a nonchainable, noncircle-like continuum which has the cone=hyperspace property which was defined by the second author. Each of the examples is an inverse limit of an inverse system having a single bonding map.

In the literature there exist examples of metrizable spaces admitting nonmetrizable uniformities (e.g., see [3, Problem C, p. 204]). In this paper, this phenomenon is presented more coherently by showing that every non-compact metrizable space admits at least one non-metrizable proximity and uncountably many non-metrizable uniformities. It is also proved that the finest compatible uniformity (proximity) on a non-compact non-semidiscrete space is always non-metrizable.
