Cut points in abcohesive, aposyndetic, and semi-locally connected spaces

Abstract

In 1941, F. B. Jones introduced aposyndesis, which generalizes the concept of semi-local connectedness defined earlier by G. T. Whyburn (1942), in the study of continuum theory. Using Jones's idea, D. A. John (1993) defined abcohesiveness as a generalization of aposyndesis and studied the A-sets in abcohesive spaces. In this paper, some properties of abcohesive spaces are studied and a number of results by B. Lehman (1976) and Whyburn (1942, 1968) are generalized; sufficient conditions for the existence of two nodal sets are established as well.
