Resumen:
Let X be a Hausdorff continuum (a nondegenerate, compact, connected, Hausdorff space). Let C(X) (respectively F-1 (X)) denote the hyperspace of its subcontinua (respectively, its one-point sets), endowed with the Vietoris topology. In this paper we introduce the definition of Whitney levels in C(X) and discuss some basic properties. With this definition, the subsets F-1 (X) and {X of C(X) are Whitney levels in C(X), so we call them trivial Whitney levels. In the particular case when X is a generalized arc, we give a condition for the existence of non-trivial Whitney levels in its hyperspace of subcontinua. Finally, we apply this result to the study of Whitney levels in C(X) when X is the Long Arc and the Lexicographic Square. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
