Abstract

Let $\bpropto$ be the topological space obtained by identifying the points 1 and 2 of the segment $[0,3]$ to a point. Let $\binfty$ be the topological space obtained by identifying the points 0, 1 and 2 of the segment $[0,2]$ to a point. An $\bpropto$ (respectively $\binfty$) map is a continuous self-map of $\bpropto$ (respectively $\binfty$) having the branching point fixed. Set $E\in\{\bpropto,\binfty\}$. Let $f$ be an $E$ map. We denote by $\Per(f)$ the set of periods of all periodic points of $f$. The set $K \subset{\mathbb N}$ is the full periodicity kernel of $E$ if it satisfies the following two conditions: (1) if $f$ is an $E$ map and $K\subset \Per(f)$, then $\Per(f)={\mathbb N}$; (2) for each $k\in K$ there exists an $E$ map $f$ such that $\Per(f)={\mathbb N}\setminus\{ k\}$. In this paper we compute the full periodicity kernel of $\bpropto$ and $\binfty$.
