The lattice of topologies of topological -groups
In Dually discrete spaces, Topology Appl. 155 (2008), 1420–1425, Alas et. al. proved that ordinals are hereditarily dually discrete and asked whether the product of two ordinals has the same property. In Products of certain dually discrete spaces, Topology Appl. 156 (2009), 2832–2837, Peng proved a number of partial results and left open the question of whether the product of two stationary subsets of is dually discrete. We answer the first question affirmatively and as a consequence also give...
By the Suslinian number Sln(X) of a continuum X we understand the smallest cardinal number κ such that X contains no disjoint family ℂ of non-degenerate subcontinua of size |ℂ| > κ. For a compact space X, Sln(X) is the smallest Suslinian number of a continuum which contains a homeomorphic copy of X. Our principal result asserts that each compact space X has weight ≤ Sln(X)⁺ and is the limit of an inverse well-ordered spectrum of length ≤ Sln(X)⁺, consisting of compacta with weight ≤ Sln(X) and...
