Inverse Limits of Finite Path Graphs

Haley Pavlis ⟨hjp0013@auburn.edu⟩

Abstract:

The author defines the graph topology for finite graphs. We discuss the properties of a continuous map between graphs and properties of a traditional inverse limit of graphs. Most importantly, that a traditional inverse limit of finite path graphs is non-Hausdorff. We introduce a generalized inverse limit, where the first space is a metric arc and all other spaces are finite path graphs. Using the Bucket Handle continuum as an example, a technique is shown for constructing a generalized inverse limit, where the first space is a metric arc and the others are finite path graphs, that is homeomorphic to a traditional inverse limit of Hausdorff arcs.

Using crooked chains, we construct and analyze a non-Hausdorff hereditarily indecomposable continuum. This continuum has some interesting properties, which will be discussed. Ongoing research is discussed and open problems stated.
