Products and \(h\)-homogeneity (Q649613): Difference between revisions

An \(h\)-homogeneous space is one in which all nonempty clopen subsets are homeomorphic (to the whole space), see [\textit{T. Terada}, Yokohama Math. J. 40, No. 2, 87--93 (1993; Zbl 0819.54006)]. In response to questions from the latter paper the author investigates the productivity of this property and establishes that the product of zero-dimensional \(h\)-homogeneous spaces is \(h\)-homogeneous. He also proves that any infinite power of a space with a dense set of isolated points is \(h\)-homogeneous and he obtains partial results toward answering the question whether \(X^\omega\)~is \(h\)-homogeneous when \(X\)~is zero-dimensional and first-countable (such a power is homogeneous, see [\textit{A. Dow} and \textit{E. Pearl}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125, No. 8, 2503--2510 (1997; Zbl 0963.54002)]).
