A subset R of X is said to be continuumwise connected provided that for each pair of points p, q ∈ R, there exists a subcontinuum M of X such that {p, q} ⊂ M ⊂ R. Let X 2 denote the Cartesian square of X and ∆ the diagonal of X 2. In [7] it was asked if for a continuum X, distinct from the arc, X 2 \ ∆ is continuumwise connected if and only if X is decomposable. In this paper we show that no implication in this question holds. For the proof of the non-necessity, we use the dynamic properties of a suitable homeomorphism of the Cantor set onto itself to construct an appropriate indecomposable continuum X.

Los escolares, más concretamente en secundaria, se encuentran en un momento crucial para la adquisición de diferentes hábitos que marcarán su estilo de vida y su evolución en la edad adulta. La cultura deportiva, valorar la relevancia del ejercicio físico y conocer cuáles son las ventajas de una vida saludable, son factores que debemos potenciar como docentes. Actualmente, la literatura científica evidencia la relevancia de la práctica de actividad física y su influencia en la mejora del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Objetivos. Conocer qué tipo de intensidad y ejercicio físico mejora los procesos cognitivos. Revisar cuál es el motivo de la mejora del rendimiento académico. Método. Se analizaron diversas bases de datos entre las que destacan Pubmed, Scielo, Dialnet y Google Académico, escogiendo un total de 72 artículos en la primera selección, utilizándose finalmente un total de 20. Resultados y conclusiones. Se aprecia una relación directa lineal y positiv...

Answering a question of D. P. Bellamy and J. M. Lysko, in this paper we prove that if M is a subcontinuum of Σ such that the projections of M on each Σm i are onto, then for each open subset U in Σ with M ⊂ U , there exists an open connected subset V of Σ such that M ⊂ V ⊂ U ; i.e. any such M is ample in the sense of Prajs and Whittington [10]. This contrasts with the property of Cartesian squares of fixed solenoids Σm i × Σm i , whose diagonals are never ample [1].

A Whitney block is a set of the form μ − 1 ( [ s , t ] ) , where μ : C ( X ) → [ 0 , 1 ] is a Whitney map and 0 ≤ s t 1 . In this paper we study continua for which Whitney blocks are homeomorphic to X × [ 0 , 1 ] . We characterize an arc, a simple closed curve and simple n -ods in terms of Whitney blocks. We also show that if X is arc-like, then each Whitney block for C ( X ) is 2-cell-like; and if X is circle-like, then each Whitney block of the form μ − 1 ( [ 0 , t ] ) is ring-like.

This answers a question by E.E. Grace and E.J. Vought.

Let C n (Y) be the hyperspace of nonempty closed subsets of Y with at most n components. In this paper we show that if X is a dendrite with closed set of end points and C 2 (X) is homeomorphic to C 2 (Y), for some dendrite Y , then X is homeomorphic to Y. This completes the work by David Herrera-Carrasco and Fernando Macías-Romero who previously proved the corresponding result for each n = 2.

The collection of all nonempty proper closed subspaces B of X such that B does not block any element of X \B is denoted by N B(F 1 (X)). In this paper we prove that for each completely metrizable and separable space Z, there exists a continuum X such that Z is homeomorphic to N B(F 1 (X)). This answers a series of questions by Camargo, Capulín, Castaneda-Alvarado and Maya.

We consider the following property (*) if M is a subcontinuum of X × Y such that π X (M) = X and π Y (M) = Y , where πX and πY are the respective projections on X and Y , then M has small open connected neighborhoods in X × Y. Answering questions by D. P. Bellamy and J. M. � Lysko, we prove that (a) the product of the pseudoarc and any Knaster continuum has property (*), and (b) there exist chainable indecomposable continua X and Y such that X × Y does not have property (*).

A factor theorem is given for nth symmetric product of the cartesian product of any absolute neighborhood retract with the Hilbert cube. A short proof is included of the known fact that symmetric products preserve the property of being a compact Hilbert cube manifold (the theorem is proved here for all Hilbert cube manifolds).

Let Fn(X) be the hyperspace of nonempty subsets of X with at most n points. If 1 ≤ m < n, we consider the quotient space F n m (X) = Fn(X)/Fm(X). Given a mapping f : X → X, we consider the induced mappings fn : Fn(X) → Fn(X) and f n m : F n m (X) → F n m (X). In this paper we study relations among the dynamics of the mappings f , fn and f n m and we answer some questions, by F. Barragán, A. Santiago-Santos and J. Tenorio, related to the properties: minimality, irreducibility, strong transitivity and turbulence.

In particular, a plane noncontractible dendroid is constructed which contains no homotopically fixed subset. A new concept of a homotopically steady subset of a space is introduced and its connections with other related concepts are studied

That means that for each open subset W of X × X with Δ ⊂ W , there exists a connected subset M of X × X such that Δ ⊂ int X×X (M) ⊂ M ⊂ W .
