Idea

A dyadic space [Engelking 1989, p. 231] is a compact topological space which is homeomorphic to the image under a continuous map of a Cantor cube {0,1} S\{0,1\}^S, for SS some infinite set.

A dyadic compactum [Shapiro 2003] is a dyadic space which is also Hausdorff (hence a dyadic compact Hausdorff space and in this sense a “compactum”).

Examples

  • The basic example is the Cantor set 2 02^{\aleph_0}.
