Abstract:
A universal space is one that continuously maps onto all others of its own kind and weight. We investigate when a universal Uniform Eberlein compact space exists for weight . If , then they exist whereas otherwise, in many cases including , it is consistent that they do not exist. This answers (for many and consistently for all ) a question of Benyamini, Rudin and Wage of 1977.
