Abstract: We give sufficient conditions for a group of homeomorphisms of a Peano continuum X without cut-points to be a convergence group. The condition is that there is a collection of convergence subgroups whose limit sets `cut up' X in the correct fashion. This is closely related to the result in [E Swenson, Axial pairs and convergence groups on S^1, Topology 39 (2000) 229-237].

Review text

Let \(X\) be a Peano continuum, and \(G\) be a group which acts by homeomorphisms on \(X\). If \(\mathcal A\) is a \(G\)-invariant collection of closed subsets of \(X\), we say that the pair \((G,\mathcal A)\) is a fine pairing on \(X\) if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) \(\mathcal A\) is cross connected, (2) \(\mathcal A\) is null, and (3) \(\mathcal A\) is fine, that is; for any \(x,y\in X\) there exists a finite \({\mathcal B}\subset{\mathcal A}\) such that \(\bigcup{\mathcal B}\) separates \(x\) from \(y\). The main theorem of this paper is: Let \(X\) be a Peano continuum without cut points, and \((G,\mathcal A)\) a fine pairing on \(X\). If for each \(A\in{\mathcal A}\), \(\text{Stab}(A)\) acts as a convergence group on \(X\), then \(G\) acts as a convergence group on \(X\). Moreover the authors construct an example which shows that the theorem is false if the hypothesis that \(\mathcal A\) is fine is removed.
