A hierarchy for closed \(n\)-cell complements




Abstract: Let C and D be a pair of crumpled n-cubes and h a homeomorphism of extBdC to extBdD for which there exists a map fh:CoD such that fh|extBdC=h and fh1(extBdD)=extBdC. In our view the presence of such a triple (C,D,h) suggests that C is "at least as wild as" D. The collection mathscrWn of all such triples is the subject of this paper. If (C,D,h)inmathscrWn but there is no homeomorphism such that D is at least as wild as C, we say C is "strictly wilder than" D. The latter concept imposes a partial order on the collection of crumpled n-cubes. Here we study features of these wildness comparisons, and we present certain attributes of crumpled cubes that are preserved by the maps arising when (C,D,h)inmathscrWn. The effort can be viewed as an initial way of classifying the wildness of crumpled cubes.
