In 2008 Juhász and Szentmiklóssy established that for every compact space there exists a discrete with . We generalize this result in two directions: the first one is to prove that the same holds for any Lindelöf -space and hence is -separable. We give an example of a countably compact space such that is not -separable. On the other hand, we show that for any Lindelöf -space there exists a discrete subset such that ; in particular, the diagonal is a retract of...
