Expansive homeomorphisms of plane separating continua
by
Christopher Mouron
Rhodes College

A homeomorphism h\colon X --> X is called expansive provided that for some fixed c > 0 and every x, y in X there exists an integer n, dependent only on x and y, such that d(hn(x), hn(y)) > c. It is shown that if X is a 1-dimensional continuum that separates the plane into exactly 2 pieces, then h cannot be expansive.
