From this fact we conclude that for every uncountable cardinal $\\kappa \\le \\mathfrak{b}$ there is a countable dense homogeneous metric space of size $\\kappa$. Moreover, the existence of a meager in itself countable dense homogeneous metric space of size $\\kappa$ is equivalent to the existence of a $\\lambda$-set of size $\\kappa$. On the other hand, it is consistent with the continuum arbitrarily large that every $\\mathsf{CDH}$ metric space has size either $\\omega_1$ or size $\\mathfrak c$. An example of a Baire $\\mathsf{CDH}$ metric space which is not completely metrizable is presented. Finally, answering a question of Arhangel'skii and van Mill we show that that there is a compact non-metrizable $\\mathsf{CDH}$ space in ZFC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-18T16:33:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54H05", "03E15", "54E50" ], "keywords": [ "countable dense homogeneity", "countable dense homogeneous metric space", "continuum arbitrarily large", "van mill", "consistent" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
