Review text

A space \(X\) is homogeneous with respect to a class \({\mathcal M}\) of mappings if for every points \(p,q\in X\) there is a surjective mapping \(f:X\to X\) such that \(f(p)=q\) and \(f\in{\mathcal M}\). A classical result of \textit{S. Mazurkiewicz} [Fundam. Math. 5, 137-146 (1924; JFM 50.0140.01)] says that the only homogeneous (with respect to homeomorphisms) locally connected plane continuum is the simple closed curve. Using a result of \textit{J. Krasinkiewicz} [Prace Mat. 12, 255-257 (1969; Zbl 0235.54039)] the reviewer has shown [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 92, 125-132 (1984; Zbl 0524.54010)] that the Sierpiński universal plane curve \(S\) is homogeneous with respect to monotone mappings, and asked if it is homogeneous with respect to open ones. In the paper under review the author answers this question in the affirmative even in a much stronger way, showing that \(S\) is homogeneous with respect to mappings which are monotone and open simultaneously. The needed mapping is constructed by building a continuous decomposition of \(S\) so that the decomposition space is homeomorphic to \(S\). Each element of the decomposition is a nondegenerate cellular continuum except for one which is a simple closed curve: the boundary of a complementary region. A more general result saying that each \(S\)-manifold (i.e., a continuum that has a closed basis of neighborhoods composed of homeomorphic copies of \(S)\) is homogeneous with respect to monotone open mappings has recently been obtained, using quite different means, by \textit{J. R. Prajs} [Continuous decompositions of Peano plane continua into pseudo-arcs, Fundam. Math. 158, No. 1, 23-40 (1998)].
