Separating by G δ -sets in finite powers of ω₁

Yasushi Hirata, Nobuyuki Kemoto (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is known that all subspaces of ω₁² have the property that every pair of disjoint closed sets can be separated by disjoint G δ -sets (see [4]). It has been conjectured that all subspaces of ω₁ⁿ also have this property for each n < ω. We exhibit a subspace of ⟨α,β,γ⟩ ∈ ω₁³: α ≤ β ≤ γ which does not have this property, thus disproving the conjecture. On the other hand, we prove that all subspaces of ⟨α,β,γ⟩ ∈ ω₁³: α < β < γ have this property.

Sequential compactness vs. countable compactness

Angelo Bella, Peter Nyikos (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The general question of when a countably compact topological space is sequentially compact, or has a nontrivial convergent sequence, is studied from the viewpoint of basic cardinal invariants and small uncountable cardinals. It is shown that the small uncountable cardinal 𝔥 is both the least cardinality and the least net weight of a countably compact space that is not sequentially compact, and that it is also the least hereditary Lindelöf degree in most published models. Similar results, some definitive,...
