Abstract:

Let X be a locally connected generalized continuum and let $\beta X$ denote the Stone-Čech compactification of X. In this paper are given necessary and sufficient conditions for $\beta X - X$ to be the union of a finite number of disjoint continua, and for each of these continua to be indecomposable.
