Aug 26, 2018 at 12:33 comment added YCor Indeed for a few seconds I first expected that the automorphism group could be cyclic, but the topological intuition makes it clear that it's much larger.

Aug 25, 2018 at 23:45 comment added Iian Smythe YCor, Oops, I should read comments with a bit more care. For some reason I read your comment as suggesting the automorphism group was cyclic, which of course you are not.

Aug 25, 2018 at 22:15 comment added Iian Smythe I should mention, de Groot (in the same paper I mentioned in my last comment), gives an example of a 0-dim, I believe non-compact, subset of $\mathbb{R}$, with non-trivial homeomorphism group where every element is order two (and hence, is abelian). Maybe this can be adapted to what I want by taking the Cech-Stone compactification?
Aug 25, 2018 at 21:08 comment added YCor What about $A\times A$ when $A$ has a trivial automorphism group (and maybe some additional assumption)? Here $(A,+)$ acts by automorphisms, namely $a\cdot (b,c)=((1-a)b+ac,(1-a)c+ab)$, and we could expect there's nothing more.
