Abstract
Let be a smooth fan and denote its set of endpoints by . Let be one of the following spaces: the natural numbers, the irrational numbers, or the product of the Cantor set with the natural numbers. We prove that there is a smooth fan such that is homeomorphic to and for every homeomorphism , the restriction of to is the identity. On the other hand, we also prove that if is any smooth fan such that is homeomorphic to complete Erd\H{o}s space, then is necessarily homeomorphic to the Lelek fan; this adds to a 1989 result by W{\l}odzimierz Charatonik.
