Continuous surjection from $X(D_n)$ onto $\operatorname{Homeo}_0(D_n)$
Let $n>1$ and let $\mathfrak{X}(D_n)$ denote the set of continuous vector fields on the closed disc $D_n\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Let $\operatorname{Homeo}_0(D_n)$ be the set of homeomorphism of ...

Why are homeomorphism groups important?
For a compact metric space $X$ let $\mathcal H(X)$ denote the set of homeomorphisms in the compact-open topology (also generated by sup metric). It is known that $\mathcal H(X)$ is a Polish ...

homeomorphisms induced by composant rotations in the solenoid
Let $S$ be the dyadic solenoid.
Let $x\in S$, and let $X$ be the union of all arcs (homeomorphic copies of $[0,1]$) in $S$ containing $x$.
$X$ is called a composant of $S$.
It is well-known ...
