A family of circle-like, \(\frac{1}{n}\)-homogeneous, indecomposable continua (Q390805): Difference between revisions

A continuum \(X\) is \(\frac{1}{n}\)-homogeneous if the homeomorphism group of \(X\) has exactly \(n\) orbits. In [Topology Appl. 153, No. 14, 2518--2527 (2006; Zbl 1106.54013)], \textit{V. Neumann-Lara} et al. asked whether there exists an indecomposable \(\frac{1}{2}\)-homogeneous circle-like continuum. \textit{J. P. Boroński} [ibid. 160, No. 1, 59--62 (2013; Zbl 1261.54019)] and \textit{P. Pyrih} and \textit{B. Vejnar} [ibid. 160, No. 1, 56--58 (2013; Zbl 1256.54058)] gave two independent positive answers to this question. In this paper the authors extend the answer as follows: they construct a family of continua \(\{\Sigma _{n}: n\geq 3 \}\) such that each continuum \(\Sigma _{n}\) is circle-like, \(\frac{1}{n}\)-homogeneous, indecomposable and each of its proper and nondegenerate subcontinua is decomposable.
