Idea

A Cantor cube is a topological space of the form of a Cartesian product space {0,1} K\{0,1\}^K where KK is some index set, hence a Cartesian product of KK copies of the 2-element set equipped with Tihonov topology.

Sometimes Cantor cubes are understood with their structure of a topological group being a direct product of copies of / 2 \mathbb{Z}/2 .

Examples

The basic example is the Cantor space {0,1} 0\{0,1\}^{\aleph_0}.
