A non-metric perfectly normal hereditarily indecomposable continuum

摘要

We construct an example of a non-metric perfectly normal hereditarily indecomposable continuum. The example is constructed as an inverse limit of non-metric analogues of solenoids. Theorems needed to insure perfect normality are stated and proven. It is shown that the example cannot be embedded in a countable product of Hausdorff arcs.
