A Whitney map onto the Long Arc

In a recent paper, Garc\'{\i}a-Velazquez has extended the notion of Whitney map to include maps with non-metrizable codomain and left open the question of whether there is a continuum that admits such a Whitney map. In this paper, we consider two examples of hereditarily indecomposable, chainable continua of weight $\omega_1$ constructed by Michel Smith; we show that one of them admits a Whitney function onto the long arc and the other admits no Whitney maps at all

Orthogonal Laurent polynomials in unit circle, extended CMV ordering and 2D Toda type integrable hierarchies

Orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like integrable systems are connected using the Gauss--Borel factorization of a Cantero-Moral-Velazquez moment matrix, which is constructed in terms of a complex quasi-definite measure supported in the unit circle. The factorization of the moment matrix leads to orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the corresponding second kind functions. Jacobi operators, 5-term recursion relations and Christoffel-Darboux kernels, projecting to particular spaces of truncated Laurent polynomials, and corresponding Christoffel-Darboux formulae are obtained within this point of view in a completely algebraic way. Cantero-Moral-Velazquez sequence of Laurent monomials is generalized and recursion relations, Christoffel-Darboux kernels, projecting to general spaces of truncated Laurent polynomials and corresponding Christoffel-Darboux formulae are found in this extended context. Continuous deformations of the moment matrix are introduced and is shown how they induce a time dependant orthogonality problem related to a Toda-type integrable system, which is connected with the well known Toeplitz lattice. Using the classical integrability theory tools the Lax and Zakharov-Shabat equations are obtained. The dynamical system associated with the coefficients of the orthogonal Laurent polynomials is explicitly derived and compared with the classical Toeplitz lattice dynamical system for the Verblunsky coefficients of Szeg\H{o} polynomials for a positive measure. Discrete flows are introduced and related to Darboux transformations. Finally, the representation of the orthogonal Laurent polynomials (and its second kind functions), using the formalism of Miwa shifts, in terms of $\tau$-functions is presented and bilinear equations are derived
