Degree-one, monotone self-maps of the Pontryagin surface are near-homeomorphisms

Robert J. Daverman and Thomas L. Thickstun

Vol. 303 (2019), No. 1, 93–131
Abstract

We prove that a self-map of the closed Pontryagin surface can be approximated by homeomorphisms if and only if it is monotone and has degree ± 1. This adds to a body of theorems, each of which characterizes for some space or class of spaces those self-maps which are approximable by homeomorphisms.
