The space $S_\kappa$ is the Stone space of the $\kappa$-saturated Boolean algebra of cardinality $\kappa$. It exists provided that $\kappa = \kappa^{<\kappa}$, and is characterised topologically as the unique $\kappa$-Parovichenko space of…

Various theorems on convergence of general space homeomorphisms are proved and, on this basis, theorems on convergence and compactness for classes of the so-called ring $Q$--homeomorphisms are obtained. In particular, it was established by…

We investigate for which compactifications $\gamma\omega$ of the discrete space of natural numbers $\omega$, the natural copy of the Banach space $c_0$ is complemented in $C(\gamma\omega)$. We show, in particular, that the separability of…

We show that, given a compact Hausdorff space $\Omega$, there is a compact group ${\mathbb G}$ and a homeomorphic embedding of $\Omega$ into ${\mathbb G}$, such that the restriction map ${\rm A}({\mathbb G})\to C(\Omega)$ is a complete…

We study the group of automorphisms of certain corona C*-algebras. As a corollary of a more general C*-algebraic result, we show that, under the Continuum Hypothesis, $\beta X\setminus X$ has nontrivial homeomorphisms, whenever $X$ is a…

We prove pseudocompactness of a Tychonoff space $X$ and the space $\mathcal{P}(X)$ of Radon probability measures on it with the weak topology under the condition that the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of the space $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is…

Let X be a h-homogeneous zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space, i.e. X is a Stone dual of a homogeneous Boolean algebra. It is shown that the universal minimal space M(G) of the topological group G=Homeo(X), is the space of maximal…

We deal with topological spaces homeomorphic to their respective squares. Primarily, we investigate the existence of large families of such spaces in some subclasses of compact metrizable spaces. As our main result we show that there is a…

We prove that arbitrary homomorphisms from one of the groups ${\rm Homeo}(\ca)$, ${\rm Homeo}(\ca)^\N$, ${\rm Aut}(\Q,<)$, ${\rm Homeo}(\R)$, or ${\rm Homeo}(S^1)$ into a separable group are automatically continuous. This has consequences…

We give a new and elementary proof showing that a homeomorphism of a compact metric space is positively expansive if and only if the space is finite.

We prove that the homeomorphism relation between compact spaces can be continuously reduced to the homeomorphism equivalence relation between absolute retracts which strengthens and simplifies recent results of Chang and Gao, and Cie\'sla.…

It is shown that CH implies the existence of a compact Hausdorff space that is countable dense homogeneous, crowded and does not contain topological copies of the Cantor set. This contrasts with a previous result by the author which says…

An old question of A.V. Arhangel'skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space $X$ is preserved by homeomorphisms of its function space $C_p(X)$. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we…

A reduction of properties (invariants) of compact sets of real numbers to properties of countable orders is presented here. Discussed here is also an embedding property of some compact sets that are called t$\mathbb R$-sets. Among others,…

We show in detail that every compact countable subset of a metric space is homeomorphic to a countable ordinal number, which extends a result given by Mazurkiewicz and Sierpinski for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In order to achieve…

We prove that a compact space is monotonically Sokolov if and only if it is monotonically $\omega$-monolithic. This gives answers to several questions of R. Rojas-Hernandez and V. V. Tkachuk.

We prove that for infinite, countable, compact, Hausdorff spaces $K,L$, $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is isomorphic to exactly one of the spaces $C(\omega^{\omega^\xi})\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(\omega^{\omega^\zeta})$, $0\leqslant…

We study a compactification of the space of invariant probability measures for a transitive countable Markov shift. We prove that it is affine homeomorphic to the Poulsen simplex. Furthermore, we establish that, depending on a combinatorial…

We prove that every infinite-dimensional (locally convex) linear topological space that can be expressed as a direct limit of finite-dimensional metrizable compacta is (linearly) homeomorphic to the space $R^\infty=\dlim R^n$.

We give a simple proof of the title.
