Let $E$ be one of the following spaces: the natural numbers, the irrational numbers, or the product of the Cantor set with the natural numbers. We prove that there is a smooth fan $X$ such that $E(X)$ is homeomorphic to $E$ and for every homeomorphism $h \\colon X \\to X$, the restriction of $h$ to $E(X)$ is the identity. On the other hand, we also prove that if $X$ is any smooth fan such that $E(X)$ is homeomorphic to complete Erd\\H{o}s space, then $X$ is necessarily homeomorphic to the Lelek fan; this adds to a 1989 result by W{\\l}odzimierz Charatonik.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-26T03:29:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54F50", "54F15", "54G20", "54F65" ], "keywords": [ "smooth fan", "endpoint rigid", "natural numbers", "irrational numbers", "cantor set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
