Products and h-homogeneity

Building on work of Terada, we prove that h-homogeneity is productive in the class of zero-dimensional spaces. Then, by generalizing a result of Motorov, we show that for every non-empty zero-dimensional space $X$ there exists a non-empty zero-dimensional space $Y$ such that $X\times Y$ is h-homogeneous. Also, we simultaneously generalize results of Motorov and Terada by showing that if $X$ is a space such that the isolated points are dense then $X^κ$ is h-homogeneous for every infinite cardinal $κ$. Finally, we show that a question of Terada (whether $X^ω$ is h-homogeneous for every zero-dimensional first-countable $X$) is equivalent to a question of Motorov (whether such an infinite power is always divisible by 2) and give some partial answers.
