Abstract:
A subcontinuum $A$ of a continuum $X$ is a $W$-set if for each mapping $f:Y \twoheadrightarrow X$ of an arbitrary continuum $Y$ onto $X$ there is a continuum in $Y$ which is mapped by $f$ onto $A$. We characterize $W$-sets in terms of accessibility by small continua. We localize several known results on continua all of whose subcontinua are $W$-sets. Finally, we extend a result of J. T. Rogers by proving that if $X$ is an atriodic continuum whose first Čech cohomology group is finitely generated then the hyperspace $C(X)$ of subcontinua of $X$ is two dimensional.References
