Continuous pseudo-hairy spaces and continuous pseudo-fans (Q2778628)

A compact space \(\widetilde X\) is said to be a continuous pseudo-hairy space over a compact space \(X\subset\widetilde X\) if there is an open and monotone retraction \(r:\widetilde X\to X\) such that all fibers \(r^{-1} (x)\) are pseudo-arcs and any continuum in \(\widetilde X\) joining two different fibers of \(r\) intersects \(X\). A continuum \(Y(X)\) is called a continuous pseudo-fan of a compactum \(X\) if there are a point \(c\in Y(X)\) and a family \({\mathcal F}\) of pseudo-arcs filling up \(Y(X)\) such that any subcontinuum of \(Y(X)\) intersecting two different elements of \({\mathcal F}\) contains \(c\) and that \({\mathcal F}\) (equipped with the Hausdorff metric) is homeomorphic to \(X\). The main result of the paper says that for each compact metric space \(X\) there exist a continuous pseudo-hairy space over \(X\) and a continuous pseudo-fan of \(X\). The proof of the part of the result concerning pseudo-fans is existential only.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEAfter introduction and preliminaries the author investigates inverse sequences converging in complete metric spaces; next he proves the main result, and finally he presents basic observations on pseudo-hairy spaces and pseudo-fans. The paper is a continuation of the author's earlier study [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 352, No. 4, 1743-1757 (2000; Zbl 0936.54019)].
