Abstract:

Up to homeomorphism, there are 9 topologies on a three point set {a, b, c}. Among the resulting topological spaces we have the so called Davey space, where the only non-trivial open set is, let us say, {a}. This is an interesting topological space to the extent that every topological space can be embedded in a product of Davey spaces. In this note we will consider the problem of obtaining the Davey space as a quotient R/G, where G is a suitable homeomorphism group. The present work can be regarded as a follow-up to some previous work done by one of the authors and Bernd Wegner.
