For a Tychonoff space $X$, we will denote by $X_0$ the set of its isolated points and $X_1$ will be equal to $X\setminus X_0$. The symbol $C\left(X\right)$ denotes the space of real-valued continuous functions defined on $X$. $\square {ℝ}^{\kappa }$ is the Cartesian product ${ℝ}^{\kappa }$ with its box topology, and $C_{\square }\left(X\right)$ is $C\left(X\right)$ with the topology inherited from $\square {ℝ}^X$. By $\widehat{C}\left(X_1\right)$ we denote the set $\{f\in C\left(X_1\right):f$ can be continuously extended to all of $X\}$. A space $X$ is almost-$\omega$-resolvable if it can be partitioned by a countable family of subsets in such a way that every non-empty open subset of $X$ has a non-empty...

In this paper, we prove the following statements: (1) For every regular uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, there exist a Tychonoff space $X$ and $Y$ a subspace of $X$ such that $Y$ is both relatively absolute star-Lindelöf and relative property (a) in $X$ and $e(Y,X)\ge \kappa$, but $Y$ is not strongly relative star-Lindelöf in $X$ and $X$ is not star-Lindelöf. (2) There exist a Tychonoff space $X$ and a subspace $Y$ of $X$ such that $Y$ is strongly relative star-Lindelöf in $X$ (hence, relative star-Lindelöf), but $Y$ is not absolutely relative star-Lindelöf...

We recall some classical results relating normality and some natural weakenings of normality in $\Psi$-spaces over almost disjoint families of branches in the Cantor tree to special sets of reals like $Q$-sets, $\lambda$-sets and $\sigma$-sets. We introduce a new class of special sets of reals which corresponds to the corresponding almost disjoint family of branches being ${\aleph }_0$-separated. This new class fits between $\lambda$-sets and perfectly meager sets. We also discuss conditions for an almost disjoint family $𝒜$ being potentially...
