Resumen. En 1974 el Profesor R. W. FitzGerald definió los continuos tipo θ y θ_n. (Un continuo X es un continuo tipo θ (tipo θ_n, para algún número natural n) si para cada subcontinuo K de X, resulta que X \K sólo tiene un número finito de componentes (X \ K tiene a lo más n componentes).) Los profesores E. E. Grace y E. J. Vought continuaron el estudio de estas clases de continuos, cuando tales continuos admiten una descomposición monótona semicontinua superiormente cuyo cociente es una gráfica. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar algunas de las propiedades de los continuos tipo θ y θ_n, principalmente cuando la descomposición mencionada anteriormente es continua [14].

Palabras clave: Continuo débilmente irreducible, continuo continuamente irreducible, continuo irreducible, continuo tipo θ, continuo tipo θ_n, descomposición continua, función T de Jones, hiperespacio, productos simétricos, subconjunto Z.

On Type θ and θ_n continua

Abstract. In 1974 Professor R. W. FitzGerald defined type θ and θ_n continua. (A continuum X is of type θ (type θ_n, for some positive integer n) if for each subcontinuum K of X, we have that X \ K has only a finite number of components (X \ K has at most n components).) Professors E. E. Grace and E. J. Vought continued the study of these clases of continua, when such continua admit an upper semicontinuous monotone decomposition whose quotient space is a graph. The purpose of this work is to present some of the properties of type θ and θ_n continua, mainly when the decomposition is continuous [14].

Keywords: Continuous decomposition, continuously irreducible continuum, hyperspace, idempotency, Jones' set function T , irreducible continuum, symmetric products, type θ continuum, type θ_n continuum, type A′ θ-continuum, weakly irreducible continuum, Z-set.
