Autohomeomorphisms of compact groups (Q690286)

In [Adv. Math. 52, 1-33 (1984; Zbl 0535.43001)], \textit{E. K. van Douwen} constructed an infinite compact totally disconnected homogeneous Hausdorff space \(X\), and a positive Borel measure \(\mu\), such that \(\mu\) is preserved by every autohomeomorphism \(h\) of \(X\). Then he asked the following question: Does there exist an infinite compact connected group \(G\) such that every autohomeomorphism of \(G\) preseves its Haar measure? The goal of the present note is to give an answer to the problem above. The following Theorem is proved: If \(G\) is an infinite compact group with Haar measure \(m_ G\), then there is an autohomeomorphism \(h\) of \(G\) such that \(m_ G(h(E))\neq m_ G(E)\) for some open set \(E\subset G\).
