Homogeneity and \(\sigma\)-discrete sets (Q1203827)

A space \(X\) is densely homogeneous (DH) provided that \(X\) has a \(\sigma\)- discrete dense subset and that for every two \(\sigma\)-discrete dense subsets \(A\) and \(B\) of \(X\), there is an autohomeomorphism \(h\) on \(X\) such that \(h(A)=B\). If the ``\(\sigma\)-discrete'' in this definition is replaced by ``countable'' then the space is called countable dense homogeneous (CDH). This paper continues the study of these properties by first showing that all spaces satisfying DH or CDH are \(T_ 1\)-spaces. Also a characterization is given for when all \(\sigma\)-discrete dense subsets of a metric space are homeomorphic. From this it follows that each two \(\sigma\)-discrete dense subsets of a homogeneous metric space are homeomorphic.
