Reconstructing topological graphs and continua

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The deck of a topological space X is the set mathcalD(X)=[Xsetminusx]colonxinX, where [Z] denotes the homeomorphism class of Z. A space X is topologically reconstructible if whenever mathcalD(X)=mathcalD(Y) then X is homeomorphic to Y. It is shown that all metrizable compact connected spaces are reconstructible. It follows that all finite graphs, when viewed as a 1-dimensional cell-complex, are reconstructible in the topological sense, and more generally, that all compact graph-like spaces are reconstructible.
