The straightbrush model conjecture for the residual compact set

About 14 years old · traced to

Let KaddrK_{\mathrm{addr}} be the addresses odometer, identified with the Cantor set of connected components of K∞K_\infty. A subset B⊂Kaddr×[0,1]B\subset K_{\mathrm{addr}}\times[0,1] is required to encode each component as a vertical initial segment. Straightbrush model conjecture. There exists a closed subset BB of Kaddr×[0,1]K_{\mathrm{addr}} \times [0,1] homeomorphic to K∞K_\infty which satisfies

  1. Kaddr×{0}⊂BK_{\mathrm{addr}}\times\{0\}\subset B;
  2. For all α∈Kaddr\alpha\in K_{\mathrm{addr}} there exists eα∈[0,1]e_\alpha\in[0,1] such that (α,t)∈B(\alpha,t)\in B if and only if 0≤t≤eα0\leq t\leq e_\alpha (such eαe_\alpha is called an upper endpoint);
  3. The set of upper endpoints is dense in BB.

This conjectures a topological model of K∞K_\infty analogous to a straightbrush or hairy arc. The source establishes a dense countable family of components homeomorphic to a common line segment, but leaves the global homeomorphism to this model open.
