On weaker forms of the chain (F) condition and metacompactness-like covering properties in the product spaces
We introduce the concept of a family of sets generating another family. Then we prove that if X is a topological space and X has W = {W(x): x ∈ X} which is finitely generated by a countable family satisfying (F) which consists of families each Noetherian of ω-rank, then X is metaLindelöf as well as a countable product of them. We also prove that if W satisfies ω-rank (F) and, for every x ∈ X, W(x) is of the form W 0(x) ∪ W 1(x), where W 0(x) is Noetherian and W 1(x) consists of neighbourhoods of...
