Given a topological space X, we can consider the group G(X) of all autohomeomorphisms of X. Much is known about the relationship between X and G(X) for certain restricted classes of the space X; Whittaker [7] has shown that the existence of an isomorphism between any two sufficiently large subgroups of G(X) and G(Y) implies that X and Y are actually homeomorphic, whenever these are both compact, locally Euclidean manifolds, with or without boundary; Fine and Schweigert [1] give a detailed analysis of G(ℝ); recently, Neumann [4], Mekler [3] and Truss [6] have considered in depth the group G(ℚ).
