In this paper we introduce the notion of the structure space of $\Gamma$-semigroups formed by the class of uniformly strongly prime ideals. We also study separation axioms and compactness property in this structure space.

The structure of sub-, pseudo- and quasimaximal spaces is investigated. A method of constructing non-trivial quasimaximal spaces is presented.

We show in ZF that: (i) Every subcompact metrizable space is completely metrizable, and every completely metrizable space is countably subcompact. (ii) A metrizable space $𝐗=(X,T)$ is countably compact if and only if it is countably subcompact relative to $T$. (iii) For every metrizable space $𝐗=(X,T)$, the following are equivalent: (a) $𝐗$ is compact; (b) for every open filter $ℱ$ of $𝐗$, $\bigcap \{\overline{F}:F\in ℱ\}\ne \varnothing$; (c) $𝐗$ is subcompact relative to $T$. We also show: (iv) The negation of each of the statements, (a) every countably subcompact metrizable...

It is proved that, under the Martin’s Axiom, every $T_1$-space with countable tightness is a subspace of some pseudo-radial space. We also give several characterizations of subspaces of pseudo-radial spaces and conclude that being a subspace of a pseudo-radial space is a local property.

We discuss the following result of A. Szymański in “Retracts and non-normality points" (2012), Corollary 3.5.: If $F$ is a closed subspace of ${\omega }^{*}$ and the $\pi$-weight of $F$ is countable, then every nonisolated point of $F$ is a non-normality point of ${\omega }^{*}$. We obtain stronger results for all types of points, excluding the limits of countable discrete sets considered in “Some non-normal subspaces of the Čech–Stone compactification of a discrete space" (1980) by A. Błaszczyk and A. Szymański. Perhaps our proofs...

Let B(κ,λ) be the subalgebra of P(κ) generated by ${\left[\kappa \right]}^{\le \lambda }$. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(κ,λ) then either $\left|B\right|<2^{\lambda }$ or $\left|B\right|={\left|B\right|}^{\lambda }$; moreover, if X is the Stone space of B then either $\left|X\right|\le 2^{2^{\lambda }}$ or $\left|X\right|=\left|B\right|={\left|B\right|}^{\lambda }$. This implies the existence of 0-dimensional compact $T_2$ spaces whose cardinality and weight spectra omit lots of singular cardinals of “small” cofinality.

Two variations of Arhangelskii’s inequality $$\left|X\right|⩽2^{\chi \left(X\right)-L\left(X\right)}$$ for Hausdorff X [Arhangel’skii A.V., The power of bicompacta with first axiom of countability, Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR, 1969, 187, 967–970 (in Russian)] given in [Stavrova D.N., Separation pseudocharacter and the cardinality of topological spaces, Topology Proc., 2000, 25(Summer), 333–343] are extended to the classes with finite Urysohn number or finite Hausdorff number.

We introduce the cardinal invariant $\theta$-$a{L}^{\text{'}}\left(X\right)$, related to $\theta$-$aL\left(X\right)$, and show that if $X$ is Urysohn, then $\left|X\right|\le 2^{\theta \text{-}a{L}^{\text{'}}\left(X\right)\chi \left(X\right)}$. As $\theta$-$a{L}^{\text{'}}\left(X\right)\le aL\left(X\right)$, this represents an improvement of the Bella-Cammaroto inequality. We also introduce the classes of firmly Urysohn spaces, related to Urysohn spaces, strongly semiregular spaces, related to semiregular spaces, and weakly $H$-closed spaces, related to $H$-closed spaces.
