Abstract

It was kindly pointed out by L. G. Cordeiro as well as independently by

T. Bice and W. Kubis that the proof of Theorem 1.1 from the paper 'Recovering a compact

Hausdorff space X from the compatibility ordering on CpXq', Fund. Math. 242 (2018), 187-205 is flawed. We demonstrate that not only is the proof of the said statement erroneous but that there is indeed a counterexample to it; Theorems 1.2-1.3 remain unaffected though. We salvage the result in the class of totally disconnected compact spaces and we propose an amendment by a suitable modification of the compatibility ordering that yields the conclusion of Theorem 1.1 for arbitrary compact spaces.
