Abstract:
We examine the structure of certain subcontinua of the Stone-Δech compactification of the reals. Let $N$ denote the integers, let $X = [0,1] \times N$, and let $C$ be a component of ${X^*} = \beta X - X$. It is known that $C$ admits an upper semicontinuous decomposition $G$ into maximal nowhere dense subcontinua of $C$ so that $C/G$ is a Hausdorff arc. The elements of $G$ are called layers. It has been shown that the layers of $C$ that contain limit points of a countable increasing or decreasing sequence of cut points of $C$ are nondegenerate indecomposable continua (various forms of this fact have been proven by Bellamy and Rubin, Mioduszewski, and Smith). We show that all the layers of $C$ are indecomposable.*References
