Abstract:
It is proved that a complete metric space topologically contains the Sierpinski universal plane curve if and only if it has a subset with so-called bypass property, i.e. it has a subset containing an arc such that for each and for each open arc with , there exists an arbitrary small arc in joining the two components of .
