Hereditarily Decomposable Homogeneous Continua
by
David P. Bellamy
University of Delaware

A longstanding problem is whether a compact metric continuum which is both homogeneous and hereditarily decomposable must be a simple closed curve. A proof will be given under the additional hypothesis that the continuum is locally connected. Some additional information about the (still unsolved) general case will be presented.
