Semiflows induced by length metrics: on the way to extinction

Abstract: Bing and Moise proved, independently, that any Peano continuum admits a length metric d. We treat non-degenerate Peano continua with a length metric as evolution systems instead of stationary objects. For any compact length space (X, d) we consider a semiflow in the hyperspace 2X of all non-empty closed sets in X. This semiflow starts with a canonical copy of the Peano continuum (X,d) at t = 0 and, at some time, collapses everything into a point. We study some properties of this semiflow for several classes of spaces, manifolds, graphs and finite polyhedra among them.
