Large cardinals and Dowker products

Chris Good (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove that if there is a model of set-theory which contains no first countable, locally compact, scattered, countably paracompact space X , whose Tychonoff square is a Dowker space, then there is an inner model which contains a measurable cardinal.

Linear combinations of partitions of unity with restricted supports

Christian Richter (2002)

Studia Mathematica

Given a locally finite open covering of a normal space X and a Hausdorff topological vector space E, we characterize all continuous functions f: X → E which admit a representation f = C a C φ C with a C E and a partition of unity φ C : C subordinate to . As an application, we determine the class of all functions f ∈ C(||) on the underlying space || of a Euclidean complex such that, for each polytope P ∈ , the restriction f | P attains its extrema at vertices of P. Finally, a class of extremal functions on the metric space...

Locally compact perfectly normal spaces may all be paracompact

Paul B. Larson, Franklin D. Tall (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We work towards establishing that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal then it is consistent that every locally compact perfectly normal space is paracompact. At a crucial step we use some still unpublished results announced by Todorcevic. Modulo this and the large cardinal, this answers a question of S. Watson. Modulo these same unpublished results, we also show that if it is consistent that there is a supercompact cardinal, it is consistent that every locally compact space...
