Abstract. The main goal of this paper is to construct, for every n, m ∈ N, a hereditarily indecomposable continuum X nm of dimension m which has exactly n autohomeomorphisms.1. Introduction. All spaces considered are assumed to be metrizable separable. Our terminology follows [6] and [10]. A continuum X is hereditarily indecomposable, abbreviated HI, if for any two intersecting subcon-denotes the group of all homeomorphisms of X onto X. A continuum X is rigid if the identity 1 X is the only homeomorphism of X onto X, i.e., G(X) = {1 X }. In [5] H. Cook gave an example of a rigid, 1-dimensional, HI continuum. Recently M. Reńska [18] constructed, for every m ∈ N, an HI rigid m-dimensional Cantor manifold. The main goal of this paper is to prove the following theorem.
