Abstract:

We give an example of a topologically complete separable metric AR space $X$ which is not homeomorphic to the Hilbert space ${l^2}$, but which has the following properties: (i) $X$ imbeds as a convex subset of ${l^2}$ (ii) every compact subset of $X$ is a $Z$-set; (iii) $X \times X \approx {l^2};$ (iv) $X$ is homogeneous; (v) $X \approx X\backslash G$ for every countable subset $G$.
