Abstract

We investigate C-sets in almost zero-dimensional spaces, showing that closed $\sigma $ C-sets are C-sets. As corollaries, we prove that every rim- $\sigma $ -compact almost zero-dimensional space is zero-dimensional and that each cohesive almost zero-dimensional space is nowhere rational. To show that these results are sharp, we construct a rim-discrete connected set with an explosion point. We also show that every cohesive almost zero-dimensional subspace of $($ Cantor set $)\!\times \mathbb R$ is nowhere dense.
