There are theorems in which some classes of topological spaces are characterized by means of properties of mappings of these spaces into a single space. For example, it is well known that a compactum X is at most n-dimensional if and only if no mapping of X irto an (n + l)-cube has a stable value [5, Theorems VI. 1-2, pp. 75-77]. Also, a curve X is tree-like if and only if no mapping of X into a figure eight is homotopically essential [1, Theorem 1, pp. 74-75; 8, p. 91]. By a curve we mean any at most 1-dimensional continuum; a continuum is a connected compactum; a compactum is a compact metric space, and a mapping is a continuous function. The aim of the present paper is to prove another theorem of this type. We distinguish a class of curves and show that it is characterized by imposing the condition that no weakly confluent mapping [13] can transform the given curve onto a simple triod (see 2.4). A related result is applied to a generalized branch-point covering theorem (see 3.2). In addition, two results are obtained in which we establish some characterizations of weakly confluent images and preimages of the product of the Cantor set and an arc (see 1.1 and 2.2). Continua that are such images turn out to be identical with regular curves (see 1.3).
