Abstract:

A criterion for the existence of an open mapping from one compact metric space onto another is established in this paper. This criterion is then used to establish the existence of a monotone open mapping of the universal curve onto any continuous curve and the existence of a light open mapping of the universal curve onto any nondegenerate continuous curve. These examples show that if $f$ is a monotone open or a light open mapping of one compact space $X$ onto another $Y$, then it will not necessarily be the case that $\dim Y \leqq \dim X + k$, where $k$ is some positive integer.
