Erdős space

In mathematics, Erdős space is a topological space named after Paul Erdős.

Erdős space is defined as the set E of points in the Hilbert space ℓ2 of square summable sequences having all coordinates rational. Erdős space is a totally disconnected, one-dimensional topological space. The space E is homeomorphic to the direct product E×E. Endowed with the compact-open topology, the set of all homeomorphisms of the Euclidean space Rn leaving the set Qn of vectors with rational coordinates invariant is homeomorphic to the Erdős space for n ≥ 2.[1]
