Smoothness in n-hold hyperspaces

Sergio Macias
Sam B. Nadler Jr.

Abstract

We prove that *-smoothness of a homogeneous continuum implies its indecomposability. We define the analogue of *-smoothness for n-fold hyperspaces and investigate its relation to *-smoothness. We characterize the class of hereditarily indecomposable continua in terms of n*-smoothness.
