This adds most remaining decidable traits for S220 (Right "closed ray" topology on $\omega_1$) and S221 (Right "open ray" topology on $\omega_1$).

S221-P230 (locally simply connected): The justification is a general theorem [Hereditarily connected => Locally simply connected]. I did not add it as a new theorem because once we add the "locally contractible" property, we can have a stronger result with that.

The remaining traits I am not sure about are:

  • (P38) injectively path connected
  • (P43) locally injectively path connected

(obviously false if (CH) is false, but could be false in general)

I checked each proof and checked the reference. Everything looked good to me.

If you did this, I recommend you click "Approve". :)

@prabau Hmm I accidentally did it out of order (hitting approve before your final change). I'll see how to fix it.

If anyone has an idea about "injectively path connected", that would be great. Can be added later.

That's irrelevant. It remains approved, unless you "request rereview" with a button at the top I think?

@prabau Well clearly I'm botching this. My apologies. I don't think I ever did the "Enable auto-merge (squash)" steps now that I think about it. Maybe that's why I'm confused?

??? @GeoffreySangston you have to click on the Approve button from the Files changed page ("Submit review").

I assure you I've done this.

Edit: Well, maybe I submitted it from a different page.

Now if you want to do "squash and merge", remember to blank out the detailed description before clicking.

Does this work?:

Let f:[0,1] -> X be an injective map. Note the image of f has to be unbounded because of cardinality.
Take some countable, dense subset E of [0,1] (rational numbers i.e.), then f(E) is countable and thus bounded by say u. But then $(u+1, \infty)$ must have open preimage, but since E is dense, the preimage is empty, contradiction with f unbounded

I think @felixpernegger's argument applies verbatim to the locally injectively path connected trait of S221 as well.

Very nice. Another way, maybe easier, to rewrite the argument: f(E) is countable and thus bounded by say $u\in\omega_1$. So $f(E)$ is contained in the closed set $[0,u]$. And by density of E in $[0,1]$, $f([0,1])$ is also contained in $[0,u]$. Since $[0,u]$ is countable, $f$ cannot be injective.
