Erdős space is the “rational” Hilbert space, that is, the set of vectors in ℓ² with all coordinates rational. Erdős proved that is one-dimensional and homeomorphic to its own square × , which makes it an important example in dimension theory. Dijkstra and van Mill found topological characterizations of . Let M n + 1 , n ∈ ℕ, be the n-dimensional Menger continuum in n + 1 , also known as the n-dimensional Sierpiński carpet, and let D be a countable dense subset of M n + 1 . We consider the topological group ( M n + 1 , D ) of all autohomeomorphisms of M n + 1 that map D onto itself, equipped with the compact-open topology. We show that under some conditions on D the space ( M n + 1 , D ) is homeomorphic to for n ∈ ℕ ∖ 3.

AB - Erdős space is the “rational” Hilbert space, that is, the set of vectors in ℓ² with all coordinates rational. Erdős proved that is one-dimensional and homeomorphic to its own square × , which makes it an important example in dimension theory. Dijkstra and van Mill found topological characterizations of . Let $Mₙ^{n+1}$, n ∈ ℕ, be the n-dimensional Menger continuum in $ℝ^{n+1}$, also known as the n-dimensional Sierpiński carpet, and let D be a countable dense subset of $Mₙ^{n+1}$. We consider the topological group $(Mₙ^{n+1},D)$ of all autohomeomorphisms of $Mₙ^{n+1}$ that map D onto itself, equipped with the compact-open topology. We show that under some conditions on D the space $(Mₙ^{n+1},D)$ is homeomorphic to for n ∈ ℕ ∖ 3.
