We show that the continua I_u and H* are non-chainable and have span nonzero. Under CH this can be strengthened to surjective symmetric span nonzero. We discuss the logical consequences of this.
In this paper we give new proofs of the theorem of Maćkowiak and Tymchatyn that every metric continuum is a weakly-confluent image of some one-dimensional hereditarily indecomposable continuum of countable weight. The first is a model-theoretic argument; the second is a topological proof inspired by the first.
In this paper we show that, when we iteratively add Sacks reals to a model of ZFC we have for every two reals in the extension a continuous function defined in the ground model that maps one of the reals onto the other.
