The CH abundance result for nontrivial autohomeomorphisms

About 12 years old · traced to

Let XX be a locally compact, non-compact, separable metrizable space, and let X∗X^* denote its Stone–Čech remainder. An autohomeomorphism of X∗X^* is a homeomorphism from X∗X^* to itself, and it is nontrivial if it is not trivial in the sense used for representations in the paper. CH abundance statement. Assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, X∗X^* has 2ℵ12^{\aleph_1} nontrivial autohomeomorphisms. This gives a strong contrast with the PFA rigidity conjecture: under CH, every such remainder has many autohomeomorphisms that are not of the prescribed trivial form.
