Abstract

We give a definition for a rank-one homeomorphism of a zero-dimensional Polish space X. We show that if a rank-one homeomorphism of X satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has trivial centralizer in the group of all homeomorphisms of X, i.e. it commutes only with its integral powers.
