An inner limiting subset of M is a countable intersection of open subsets of M-these sets are usually called "G-delta" sets nowadays. Does every infinite connected inner limiting subset of M contain an infinite connected proper subset H and a point p that is not a limit point of H?</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/33928/a-question-about-connected-inner-limiting-sets/38222#38222 Answer by Gerhard Paseman for A question about connected inner limiting sets Gerhard Paseman 2010-09-09T19:54:51Z 2010-09-09T19:54:51Z <p>This is only a partial answer.</p> <p>If M has a subset that is somewhere locally path-connected, then yes. Otherwise, M is nowhere path connected, and this should put some interesting restrictions on M. Even in this case I do not see where M could nontrivially avoid all tuples (p,O) where p is a point and O a basis element of the space that does not contain p in its closure.</p> <p>Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.09.09</p>
