L -groups versus k -groups

Roman Frič (1993)

Mathematica Bohemica

We investigate free groups over sequential spaces. In particular, we show that the free k -group and the free sequential group over a sequential space with unique limits coincide and, barred the trivial case, their sequential order is ω 1 .

Network character and tightness of the compact-open topology

Richard N. Ball, Anthony W. Hager (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For Tychonoff X and α an infinite cardinal, let α def X : = the minimum number of α  cozero-sets of the Čech-Stone compactification which intersect to X (generalizing -defect), and let rt X : = min α max ( α , α def X ) . Give C ( X ) the compact-open topology. It is shown that τ C ( X ) n χ C ( X ) rt X = max ( L ( X ) , L ( X ) def X ) , where: τ is tightness; n χ is the network character; L ( X ) is the Lindel"of number. For example, it follows that, for X Čech-complete, τ C ( X ) = L ( X ) . The (apparently new) cardinal functions n χ C and rt are compared with several others.
