A topological space $X$ is called homogeneous if for all $x, y \in X$ there is homeomorphism $f : X \to X$ with $f(x) = y$.
Instances
Every discrete space is homogeneous.
Problem 13 in [Ar2013]: Is it true that every infinite homogeneous compact space contains a non-trivial convergent sequence?
Problem 14 in [Ar2013]: Is it possible to represent an arbitrary compact space as an image of a homogeneous compact space under a continuous mapping?
A topological space is called ω-monolithic if the closure of every countable subspace is metrizable.

Instances
Every Metrizable space is ω-monolithic.
