On powers of certain lines (Q1822082)

The authors make some interesting contributions to the question whether different powers of certain spaces are homeomorphic. Their results include the following, where \(\approx\) denotes homeomorphic, S denotes the Sorgenfrey line and M the Michael line. Theorem 1.1. Let \(X=S\) or, more generally, let X be a subspace of S such that no nonempty open subset of \(X^ 2\) is Lindelöf. If \(1\leq m\), \(n\leq \omega\), then \(X^ m\approx X^ n\) if and only if \(m=n\). Theorem 1.2. Suppose that \(X=M\) or, more generally, that \(Q\subset X\subset M\) (where Q is the rationals) and \(X\cap (a,b)\) is uncountable whenever \(a<b\). If \(1\leq m\), \(n\leq \omega\), then \(X^ m\approx X^ n\) if and only if \(m=n\). Example 4.1. There is an uncountable \(X\subset M\) such that \(X^ 2,X^ 3,X^ 4,..\). are homeomorphic but \(X^ 2\approx X\). Example 4.5. There is a continuous 1-1 map for \(S^ 2\) onto S.
