Centers of a Dendroid
by
Van Nall
University of Richmond
Coauthors: Jo Heath

Piotr Minc calls a subcontinuum of a dendroid a bottleneck if it intersects every arc connecting two nonemepty open sets in the dendroid. He proved that in any dendroid there is a point p contained in arbitrarily small bottlenecks. We call such a point a center of the dendroid and prove a number of things about the set of centers of a dendroid.
