Some combinatorics involving ultrafilters
Let be a uniform space of uniform weight . It is shown that if every open covering, of power at most , is uniform, then is fine. Furthermore, an -metric space is fine, provided that every finite open covering is uniform.
A cardinal function (or a property ) is called -invariant if for any Tychonoff spaces and with and linearly homeomorphic we have (or the space has () iff ). We prove that the hereditary Lindelöf number is -invariant as well as that there are models of in which hereditary separability is -invariant.
A γ-space with a strictly positive measure is separable. An example of a non-separable γ−space with c.c.c. is given. A P−space with c.c.c. is countable and discrete.
In this paper, we prove the following statements: (1) For any cardinal , there exists a Tychonoff star-Lindelöf space such that . (2) There is a Tychonoff discretely star-Lindelöf space such that does not exist. (3) For any cardinal , there exists a Tychonoff pseudocompact -starcompact space such that .
Motivated by some examples, we introduce the concept of special almost P-space and show, using the reflection principle, that for every space of this kind the inequality “" holds.
