INTRODUCTION

As used here the term "Analyti c Topology " i s meant t o cove r those phases of topology whic h ar e bein g develope d advantageousl y b y method s i n whic h con -tinuous transformation s pla y th e essentia l role . I n th e proces s o f evolving , coining o f ag e an d assumin g mor e stabl e form , topology , throug h interactio n with other branches o f mathematics , not only is leaving its mark o n them bu t i s itself adoptin g mor e an d mor e th e languag e an d symbolis m o f th e olde r fields . Thus, fo r example , w e hav e no t onl y a topologica l functio n theor y givin g th e results o f analysi s whic h ar e essentiall y topologica l i n character , bu t als o a function-theoretic topolog y dealin g with topologica l situation s wit h th e ai d an d principal us e o f som e o f th e basi c tool s o f analysis . Withou t drawin g th e line s too sharply o r givin g to o clea r cu t a definition , le t u s sa y i n a genera l wa y tha t analytic topolog y deal s wit h topologica l situation s wit h th e ai d o f analytica l language an d tools , an d t o som e exten t conversely , jus t a s analyti c geometr y handles geometri c situation s b y analyti c methods . I hop e thi s concep t wil l b e made cleare r a s th e treatmen t progresse s an d actua l example s ar e give n illus -trating th e typ e o f relationshi p whic h ha s bee n s o vaguel y defined .

The majo r question s t o b e deal t wit h are , first , th e existenc e o f transforma -tions of various sorts from a space A t o the same or another space B and , second , the analysi s o f th e actio n o f thes e transformation s o n A t o produc e B. Sinc e thus w re ar e dealin g wit h th e transitio n fro m A t o itsel f o r t o somethin g els e possibly quit e differen t topologically , ou r subjec t exhibit s kinshi p wit h earlie r work o n dynamics i n th e Colloquiu m Series . Thi s i s especially tru e o f th e fina l chapter o n periodicity whic h connects directly wit h man y o f th e concepts o f thi s subject a s discusse d b y G . D . Birkhoff . However , th e even close r kinshi p wit h other purely topological treatises , notably that o f R. L . Moore in the Colloquiu m Series and tha t o f K . Menge r on "Kurventheorie" , wil l be too obvious t o requir e comment.

The boo k divide s roughl y int o tw o parts , correspondin g t o th e firs t si x an d last six chapters, respectively . I n the first par t ther e i s developed th e necessar y topological machiner y an d framewor k fo r th e latte r part , whic h i s devote d t o pure analytic topology . Eve n in the second chapter , however , notably in §§3 , 4, there emerg e som e o f th e fruit s o f th e applicatio n o f analyti c o r transforma -tion method s t o topologica l situations .

The book i s meant t o be largely self-contained, a t leas t i n so far a s topologica l developments ar e concerned . I n th e late r stage s som e us e i s mad e o f a fe w notions o f combinatoria l topolog y an d o f th e theor y o f group s withou t an y attempt a t adequat e introduction .

At the beginning we assume once for all a set o f axioms sufficient t o make al l spaces considere d separabl e an d metrizable . Onc e th e metri c i s introduced , however, attention is no longer focused on the axioms, but rather on the (equiva -lent) standpoint tha t we are operating always in a given separable metric space.

Cross references are given in brackets, with the roman numeral for the chapter followed by the section and number of the theorem, lemma, or corollary referred to, e.g. , [IV , (3.2) ] refers to result (3.2 ) o f § 3 in Chapter IV, which would be the second main resul t i n thi s section . I f onl y th e numbe r i n parenthesi s i s given , as (3.2 ) fo r example, the reference i s to the resul t o f tha t numbe r in the present chapter, i.e. , th e on e bein g rea d a t th e time . T o assis t i n locatin g result s re -ferred to, the chapter number and section number appear at the heading of each double page .

NOTES

1. Th e conclusions in (7.3) o n p. 14 7 hold without any restriction on A pro-vided R i s assume d conditionall y compact . Th e thu s broadene d (7.3 ) the n yields the further corollary.

(7.32) Local compactness is invariant under interior transformations. Local compactness of A also should be assumed in (7.31). 2. Th e theorem in (3.1) o n p. 18 9 may be strengthened by allowing A t o be

any generalized continuum instead o f restricting i t to continua. Thi s improved form of (3.1 ) applies more directly in the proof of (3.42) on page 191 and facili-tates th e reading o f tha t proof.

3. I n th e proof o f (ii ) o n pgs. 194-195 , there i s no advantage i n having th e set M connected; and some simplification results if it is taken merely to be com-pact and locally connected .

4. I n the proof of (iv) on p. 195, the points r and s may and should be taken on the arc uqv in the order uf r, q, a, v.

5. Th e proof of (v ) o n p. 195 is sketchy and difficult t o follow. I t should be replaced by the following detaile d argument :

By (iv) , every poin t o f K i s of orde r : § 2 . Suppose , first, that som e x € K is o f orde r 1 i n K. Le t V b e a n €/2-neighborhood o f x i n B suc h tha t F(V) • K = b 6 K. B y (ii) and (iv) there exists an €/2-neighborhood W of b in B whose boundary i s a simple arc rs with rs-K = r + s and so that W does not contain x. Sinc e x is of order 1 in K, i t is clear that for t sufficiently smal l one end point o f rs, say r , i s in V and the othe r in B — Vt a s otherwise we could obtain fro m V and W an €-neighborhood o f x with boundary disjoint fro m K. Let t be an interior poin t o f rs such tha t rt C V . The n i f T denote s th e su m of a finite numbe r o f locall y connecte d subcontinu a o f B s o chose n tha t T 3 F(V) - W-F(V), T-(K + x) = 0 , b(T + V) < 2*/Z and M - T + ts, then M i s a compact locall y connecte d se t 6-separatin g x in B and such tha t MK = s. Bu t then the reasoning given under (ii) and (iv) shows that M con-tains a simple arc X both of whose end points belong to K and this is impossible.

Now in case some a G K wer e of order 0, we need only choose V as above so that F(V) -K = 0 and let M be a compact locally connected set in B containing JF(F), disjoint from K + x and so that 5(V + M) < « . The n by the reasoning under (ii ) an d (iv ) w e would obtai n i n M a simple close d curv e X which , b y (iii), would show that x is a regular point, contrary to x G K .

6. Th e set f~l{K) use d under (viii ) o n p. 19 6 is necessarily a finite graph as there stated because it contains only a finite number of simple closed curves and has no end points.

7. I n the proof o f (4.6 ) o n p. 249, i t i s tacitly assume d tha t th e mapping /n

is pointwise almos t periodi c a t p. Thi s can be verified fairl y easil y under the assumptions made in (4.6) . Also , it i s a consequence o f more general proposi-tions along this line established late r by W . H. Gottschalk . See , for example, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, vol. 50 (1944), p. 223.
