Abstract:

This paper is concerned with certain aspects of acyclicity in a compact connected topological semigroup, and applications to the admissibility of certain multiplications on continua. The principal result asserts that if S is a semigroup on a continuum, finitely floored in dimension 2, then $S = ESE$ implies $S = K$.
