Cones that are 1/2-homogeneous

A space is 1/2-homogeneous provided that there are exactly two orbits for the action of 2 the group of homeomorphisms of the space onto itself. Let X be a nonempty compact metric space such that the cone over X is 1/2-homogeneous. It is shown that if X is finite-dimensional, then X is an absolute ne...

description A space is 1/2-homogeneous provided that there are exactly two orbits for the action of 2 the group of homeomorphisms of the space onto itself. Let X be a nonempty compact metric space such that the cone over X is 1/2-homogeneous. It is shown that if X is finite-dimensional, then X is an absolute neighborhood retract. A general theorem is proved which shows that finite dimensionality is necessary. It is shown that if X is a 1-dimensional continuum or if X does not contain certain types of triods in some nonempty open set, then X is an arc or a simple closed curve (assuming Cone(X) is 1/2-homogeneous).
