• Abstract:
  A point x is a (bow) tie-point of a space X if X\setminus \{x\} can be partitioned into (relatively) clopen sets each with x in its closure. Tie-points have appeared in the construction of non-trivial autohomeomorphisms of \beta{\mathbb N} \setminus {\mathbb N} (e.g. [veli.oca, ShSt735]) and in the recent study of (precisely) 2-to-1 maps on \beta{\mathbb N} \setminus {\mathbb N}. In these cases the tie-points have been the unique fixed point of an involution on \beta{\mathbb N} \setminus {\mathbb N}. This paper is motivated by the search for 2-to-1 maps and obtaining tie-points of strikingly differing characteristics.
