10. 2^ℕ homeomorphic to 3^ℕ

problem

Show that the spaces 2N2^ℕ and 3N3^ℕ are homeomorphic.

See Brouwer’s theorem in Anush’s DST notes:

theorem

The Cantor space 𝒞=2N𝒞=2^ℕ is the unique (up to homeomorphism) perfect, nonempty, compact metrizable, zero-dimensional space.

(to make things explicit, read the proof and try to specialize it to 3N3^ℕ.)
