Continuous images of Cantor's ternary set
Abstract: The Hausdorff-Alexandroff Theorem states that any compact metric space is the continuous image of Cantor's ternary set $C$. It is well known that there are compact Hausdorff spaces of cardinality equal to that of $C$ that are not continuous images of Cantor's ternary set. On the other hand, every compact countably infinite Hausdorff space is a continuous image of $C$. Here we present a compact countably infinite non-Hausdorff space which is not the continuous image of Cantor's ternary set.
