Abstract:
Let be the -dimensional universal Menger compactum, a -set in and a metrizable zero-dimensional compact group with the unit. It is proved that there exists a semi-free -action on such that is the fixed point set of every . As a corollary, it follows that each compactum with can be embedded in as the fixed point set of some semi-free -action on .
