Spaces with star countable extent

A. D. Rojas-Sánchez, Angel Tamariz-Mascarúa (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For a topological property $P$ , we say that a space $X$ is star $P$ if for every open cover $𝒰$ of the space $X$ there exists $A \subset X$ such that $s t (A, 𝒰) = X$ . We consider space with star countable extent establishing the relations between the star countable extent property and the properties star Lindelöf and feebly Lindelöf. We describe some classes of spaces in which the star countable extent property is equivalent to either the Lindelöf property or separability. An example is given of a Tychonoff star Lindelöf...

On star covering properties related to countable compactness and pseudocompactness

Marcelo D. Passos, Heides L. Santana, Samuel G. da Silva (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We prove a number of results on star covering properties which may be regarded as either generalizations or specializations of topological properties related to the ones mentioned in the title of the paper. For instance, we give a new, entirely combinatorial proof of the fact that $Ψ$ -spaces constructed from infinite almost disjoint families are not star-compact. By going a little further we conclude that if $X$ is a star-compact space within a certain class, then $X$ is neither first countable...

A note on star Lindelöf, first countable and normal spaces

Wei-Feng Xuan (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A topological space $X$ is said to be star Lindelöf if for any open cover $𝒰$ of $X$ there is a Lindelöf subspace $A \subset X$ such that $St (A, 𝒰) = X$ . The “extent” $e (X)$ of $X$ is the supremum of the cardinalities of closed discrete subsets of $X$ . We prove that under $V = L$ every star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space must have countable extent. We also obtain an example under $MA + \neg CH$ , which shows that a star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space may not have countable extent.

A nice subclass of functionally countable spaces

Vladimir Vladimirovich Tkachuk (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A space $X$ is functionally countable if $f (X)$ is countable for any continuous function $f : X \to ℝ$ . We will call a space $X$ exponentially separable if for any countable family $ℱ$ of closed subsets of $X$ , there exists a countable set $A \subset X$ such that $A \cap ⋂ 𝒢 \neq \emptyset$ whenever $𝒢 \subset ℱ$ and $⋂ 𝒢 \neq \emptyset$ . Every exponentially separable space is functionally countable; we will show that for some nice classes of spaces exponential separability coincides with functional countability. We will also establish that the class of exponentially separable...

An observation on spaces with a zeroset diagonal

Wei-Feng Xuan (2020)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We say that a space $X$ has the discrete countable chain condition (DCCC for short) if every discrete family of nonempty open subsets of $X$ is countable. A space $X$ has a zeroset diagonal if there is a continuous mapping $f : X^{2} \to [0, 1]$ with $Δ_{X} = f^{- 1} (0)$ , where $Δ_{X} = {(x, x) : x \in X}$ . In this paper, we prove that every first countable DCCC space with a zeroset diagonal has cardinality at most $𝔠$ .

More reflections on compactness

Lúcia R. Junqueira, Franklin D. Tall (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the question of when $X_{M} = X$ , where $X_{M}$ is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when $X_{M}$ is compact.

A note on spaces with countable extent

Yan-Kui Song (2017)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $P$ be a topological property. A space $X$ is said to be star P if whenever $𝒰$ is an open cover of $X$ , there exists a subspace $A \subseteq X$ with property $P$ such that $X = S t (A, 𝒰)$ . In this note, we construct a Tychonoff pseudocompact SCE-space which is not star Lindelöf, which gives a negative answer to a question of Rojas-Sánchez and Tamariz-Mascarúa.

On universality of countable and weak products of sigma hereditarily disconnected spaces

Taras Banakh, Robert Cauty (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Suppose a metrizable separable space Y is sigma hereditarily disconnected, i.e., it is a countable union of hereditarily disconnected subspaces. We prove that the countable power $X^{ω}$ of any subspace X ⊂ Y is not universal for the class ₂ of absolute $G_{δ σ}$ -sets; moreover, if Y is an absolute $F_{σ δ}$ -set, then $X^{ω}$ contains no closed topological copy of the Nagata space = W(I,ℙ); if Y is an absolute $G_{δ}$ -set, then $X^{ω}$ contains no closed copy of the Smirnov space σ = W(I,0). On the other hand, the countable...

On a question of $C_{c} (X)$

A. R. Olfati (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this short article we answer the question posed in Ghadermazi M., Karamzadeh O.A.S., Namdari M., On the functionally countable subalgebra of $C (X)$ , Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 129 (2013), 47–69. It is shown that $C_{c} (X)$ is isomorphic to some ring of continuous functions if and only if $υ_{0} X$ is functionally countable. For a strongly zero-dimensional space $X$ , this is equivalent to say that $X$ is functionally countable. Hence for every $P$ -space it is equivalent to pseudo- $ℵ_{0}$ -compactness.

On subcompactness and countable subcompactness of metrizable spaces in ZF

Kyriakos Keremedis (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space $𝐗 = (X, T)$ is countably compact if and only if it is countably subcompact relative to $T$ . (iii) For every metrizable space $𝐗 = (X, T)$ , the following are equivalent: (a) $𝐗$ is compact; (b) for every open filter $ℱ$ of $𝐗$ , $⋂ {\bar{F} : F \in ℱ} \neq \emptyset$ ; (c) $𝐗$ is subcompact relative to $T$ . We also show: (iv) The negation of each of the statements, (a) every countably subcompact...

Exponential separability is preserved by some products

Vladimir Vladimirovich Tkachuk (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We show that exponential separability is an inverse invariant of closed maps with countably compact exponentially separable fibers. This implies that it is preserved by products with a scattered compact factor and in the products of sequential countably compact spaces. We also provide an example of a $σ$ -compact crowded space in which all countable subspaces are scattered. If $X$ is a Lindelöf space and every $Y \subset X$ with $| Y | \leq 2^{ω_{1}}$ is scattered, then $X$ is functionally countable; if every $Y \subset X$ with $| Y | \leq 2^{𝔠}$ is scattered,...

Characterizations of $z$ -Lindelöf spaces

Ahmad Al-Omari, Takashi Noiri (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

A topological space $(X, τ)$ is said to be $z$ -Lindelöf [1] if every cover of $X$ by cozero sets of $(X, τ)$ admits a countable subcover. In this paper, we obtain new characterizations and preservation theorems of $z$ -Lindelöf spaces.

On Szymański theorem on hereditary normality of $β ω$

Sergei Logunov (2022)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We discuss the following result of A. Szymański in “Retracts and non-normality points" (2012), Corollary 3.5.: If $F$ is a closed subspace of $ω^{*}$ and the $π$ -weight of $F$ is countable, then every nonisolated point of $F$ is a non-normality point of $ω^{*}$ . We obtain stronger results for all types of points, excluding the limits of countable discrete sets considered in “Some non-normal subspaces of the Čech–Stone compactification of a discrete space” (1980) by A. Błaszczyk and A. Szymański. Perhaps...

A new Lindelöf space with points $G_{δ}$

Alan S. Dow (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We prove that $♦^{*}$ implies there is a zero-dimensional Hausdorff Lindelöf space of cardinality $2^{ℵ_{1}}$ which has points $G_{δ}$ . In addition, this space has the property that it need not be Lindelöf after countably closed forcing.
