Closed discrete subsets of separable spaces and relative versions of normality, countable paracompactness and property ( a )

Samuel Gomes da Silva (2011)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this paper we show that a separable space cannot include closed discrete subsets which have the cardinality of the continuum and satisfy relative versions of any of the following topological properties: normality, countable paracompactness and property ( a ) . It follows that it is consistent that closed discrete subsets of a separable space X which are also relatively normal (relatively countably paracompact, relatively ( a ) ) in X are necessarily countable. There are, however, consistent...

Almost disjoint families and property (a)

Paul Szeptycki, Jerry Vaughan (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the question: when does a Ψ-space satisfy property (a)? We show that if | A | < p then the Ψ-space Ψ(A) satisfies property (a), but in some Cohen models the negation of CH holds and every uncountable Ψ-space fails to satisfy property (a). We also show that in a model of Fleissner and Miller there exists a Ψ-space of cardinality p which has property (a). We extend a theorem of Matveev relating the existence of certain closed discrete subsets with the failure of property (a). ...

Spaces with large star cardinal number

Yan-Kui Song (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this paper, we prove the following statements: (1) For any cardinal κ , there exists a Tychonoff star-Lindelöf space X such that a ( X ) ≥ κ . (2) There is a Tychonoff discretely star-Lindelöf space X such that a a ( X ) does not exist. (3) For any cardinal κ , there exists a Tychonoff pseudocompact σ -starcompact space X such that st - l ( X ) ≥ κ .
