Algebraic structures on the Cantor set

Abstract

Below, by space we mean a separable metrizable zero-dimensional space. It is studied when the space can be embedded in a Cantor set while maintaining the algebraic structure. Main results of the work: every space is an open retract of a Boolean precompact group; every strongly homogeneous space is rectifiable. In this case, the space can be embedded in the Cantor set with the preservation of the algebraic structure. An example of a strongly homogeneous space is constructed which do not admit the structure of a right topological group.
