This is an announcement for the paper "A note on the continuous self-maps of the ladder system space" by Claudia Correa and Daniel V. Tausk.

Abstract: We give a partial characterization of the continuous self-maps of the ladder system space K_S. Our results show that K_S is highly nonrigid. We also discuss reasonable notions of "few operators" for spaces C(K) with scattered K and we show that C(K_S) does not have few operators for such notions.
