Jan 9, 2023 at 22:33 comment added Garrett Ervin @bof I believe that's frequently the case but not always: there are for example linear orders $A, B$ such that $A \times B \times B \cong A$ but $A \times B \not \cong A$.
Jan 8, 2023 at 12:13 comment added bof In cases where the cube property holds, does it hold more generally that $A\cong A\times B\times C$ implies $A\cong A\times B$?
Jan 6, 2023 at 18:24 comment added bof I thought the first example of a countable Boolean algebra isomorphic to its cube but not to its square was due to Shin'ichi Kinoshita, A solution of a problem of R. Sikorski, Fund. Math. 40 (1953), 39-41. impan.pl/en/publishing-house/journals-and-series/…

Aug 23, 2018 at 9:42 comment added Joshua Erde With regards to the question of Trnková about whether there exists a connected graph isomorphic to it's cube but not it's square with respect to the cartesian product, I believe the fact that there is no such graph follows from a theorem of Imrich/Miller (see for example "Weak cartesian products of graphs" by Miller) that says that every connected graph has a unique representation as a weak cartesian product of prime factors (where the weak cartesian product is a component of the cartesian product).
