Abstract

A rotoid is a space $X$ with a special point $e \in X$ and a homeomorphism $F: X^2 \rightarrow X^2$ having $F(x,x) = (x,e)$ and $F(e,x) = (e,x)$ for every $x \in X$. If any point of $X$ can be used as the point $e$, then $X$ is called a strong rotoid. We study some general properties of rotoids and prove that the Sorgenfrey line is a strong rotoid, thereby answering several questions posed by A. V. Arhangel'skii, and we pose further questions.
