We show that a plane continuum X is indecomposable iff X has a sequence (U_n) of not necessarily distinct complementary domains satisfying what we call the double-pass condition: If one draws an open arc A_n in each U_n whose ends limit into the boundary of U_n, one can choose components of U_n minus A_n whose boundaries intersected with the continuum (which we call shadows) converge to the continuum.
If $f:[a,b]to mathbb{R}$, with $a<b$, is continuous and such that $a$ and $b$ are mapped in opposite directions by $f$, then $f$ has a fixed point in $I$. Suppose that $f:mathbb{C}tomathbb{C}$ is map and $X$ is a continuum. We extend the above for ce
By the {em Suslinian number} $Sln(X)$ of a continuum $X$ we understand the smallest cardinal number $kappa$ such that $X$ contains no disjoint family $C$ of non-degenerate subcontinua of size $|C|gekappa$. For a compact space $X$, $Sln(X)$ is the sma
We obtain several game characterizations of Baire 1 functions between Polish spaces X, Y which extends the recent result of V. Kiss. Then we propose similar characterizations for equi-Bare 1 families of functions. Also, using similar ideas, we give g
In this paper we present proofs of basic results, including those developed so far by H. Bell, for the plane fixed point problem. Some of these results had been announced much earlier by Bell but without accessible proofs. We define the concept of th
In his seminal work cite{pal:61}, R. Palais extended a substantial part of the theory of compact transformation groups to the case of proper actions of locally compact groups. Here we extend to proper actions some other important results well known f
