We show, in particular, that every remote point of $X$ is a nonnormality point of $\beta X$ if $X$ is a locally compact Lindelöf separable space without isolated points and $\pi w\left(X\right)\le {\omega }_1$.

A cardinal function $\varphi$ (or a property $𝒫$) is called $l$-invariant if for any Tychonoff spaces $X$ and $Y$ with $C_p\left(X\right)$ and $C_p\left(Y\right)$ linearly homeomorphic we have $\varphi \left(X\right)=\varphi \left(Y\right)$ (or the space $X$ has $𝒫$ ($\equiv X⊢𝒫$) iff $Y⊢𝒫$). We prove that the hereditary Lindelöf number is $l$-invariant as well as that there are models of $ZFC$ in which hereditary separability is $l$-invariant.

Let $(X,\rho )$, $(Y,\sigma )$ be metric spaces and $f:X\to Y$ an injective mapping. We put ${\parallel f\parallel }_{Lip}=sup\{\sigma (f\left(x\right),f\left(y\right))/\rho (x,y)$; $x,y\in X$, $x\ne y\}$, and $dist\left(f\right)={\parallel f\parallel }_{Lip}.{\parallel f^{-1}\parallel }_{Lip}$ (the of the mapping $f$). Some Ramsey-type questions for mappings of finite metric spaces with bounded distortion are studied; e.g., the following theorem is proved: Let $X$ be a finite metric space, and let $\epsilon >0$, $K$ be given numbers. Then there exists a finite metric space $Y$, such that for every mapping $f:Y\to Z$ ($Z$ arbitrary metric space) with $dist\left(f\right)<K$ one can find a mapping $g:X\to Y$, such that both the mappings $g$ and ${f|}_{g\left(X\right)}$ have distortion...
