On 3-topological version of -regularity.
We give a characterization of normal and countably paracompact spaces via continuous set-avoiding selections.
Blum and Swaminathan [Pacific J. Math. 93 (1981), 251–260] introduced the notion of -fixedness for set-valued mappings, and characterized realcompactness by means of continuous selections for Tychonoff spaces of non-measurable cardinal. Using their method, we obtain another characterization of realcompactness, but without any cardinal assumption. We also characterize Dieudonné completeness and Lindelöf property in similar formulations.
It is shown that every strong space is a -space. In particular, it follows that every paracompact space is a -space.
A.V. Arkhangel’skii asked that, is it true that every space of countable tightness is homeomorphic to a subspace (to a closed subspace) of where is Lindelöf? denotes the space of all continuous real-valued functions on a space with the topology of pointwise convergence. In this note we show that the two arrows space is a counterexample for the problem by showing that every separable compact linearly ordered topological space is second countable if it is homeomorphic to a subspace of ...
