Abstract

For a metric continuum XX, we consider the nthn^{\tiny\textrm{th}}-symmetric product Fn(X)F_{n}(X) defined as the hyperspace of all nonempty subsets of XX with at most nn points. The homogeneity degree hd(X)hd(X) of a continuum XX is the number of orbits for the action of the group of homeomorphisms of XX onto itself. In this paper we determine hd(Fn(X))hd(F_{n}(X)) for every manifold without boundary and nNn\in \mathbb{N}. We also compute hd(Fn[0,1])hd(F_{n}[0,1]) for all nNn\in \mathbb{N}.
