Caliber (, ω) is not productive
For a compact monotonically normal space X we prove: (1) has a dense set of points with a well-ordered neighborhood base (and so is co-absolute with a compact orderable space); (2) each point of has a well-ordered neighborhood -base (answering a question of Arhangel’skii); (3) is hereditarily paracompact iff has countable tightness. In the process we introduce weak-tightness, a notion key to the results above and yielding some cardinal function results on monotonically normal...
