    In this interesting paper the authors show that there are uncountably many `topologically distinct' Lipschitz homogeneous wild Cantor sets in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). In fact, these Cantor sets can all be constructed as simple Antoine Cantor sets with the same number of components of stage \(n\) inside each component of stage \(n-1\) and thus with the same Antoine graphs. In the construction, results of Sher and Kauffman play an important role. The authors do not know whether a Lipschitz homogeneous wild Cantor set in \(\mathbb{R}^4\) exists.
