A Theorem on Involutions on Cyclic Peano Spaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
The purpose of this note is to prove that an involutionf on a cyclic Peano space S leaves some simple closed curve in Ssetwise invariant.
We shall first define the required terms. A Peano space is a locally compact, connected and locally connected metric space. A connected space is called cyclic if it has no cut-point. An involution on a space is a periodic mapping whose period is 2; it is necessarily a homeomorphism. A mapping f: X → X is said to leave a subset E of S setwise invariant if f(E) = E. These definitions may be found, for example, in [2].
