Abstract
Let . The natural projection , which sends to , induces a projection mapping , where and denote the \v{C}ech-Stone remainders of and , respectively. We show that implies every autohomeomorphism of lifts through the natural projection to an autohomeomorphism of . That is, for every homeomorphism there is a homeomorphism such that . This complements a recent result of the second author, who showed that this lifting property is not a consequence of . Combining this lifting theorem with a recent result of the first author, we also prove that implies there is an order-reversing autohomeomorphism of~, the \v{C}ech-Stone remainder of the half line .
