Spaces whose connected expansion preserve connected subsets
In this paper, we prove that a space is a sequentially-quotient -image of a metric space if and only if has a point-star -network consisting of -covers. By this result, we prove that a space is a sequentially-quotient -image of a separable metric space if and only if has a countable -network, if and only if is a sequentially-quotient compact image of a separable metric space; this answers a question raised by Shou Lin affirmatively. We also obtain some results on spaces with countable...
In this paper, we prove the following statements: (1) For every regular uncountable cardinal , there exist a Tychonoff space and a subspace of such that is both relatively absolute star-Lindelöf and relative property (a) in and , but is not strongly relative star-Lindelöf in and is not star-Lindelöf. (2) There exist a Tychonoff space and a subspace of such that is strongly relative star-Lindelöf in (hence, relative star-Lindelöf), but is not absolutely relative star-Lindelöf...
In this paper, we prove the following statements: (1) For any cardinal , there exists a Tychonoff star-Lindelöf space such that . (2) There is a Tychonoff discretely star-Lindelöf space such that does not exist. (3) For any cardinal , there exists a Tychonoff pseudocompact -starcompact space such that .
We prove that if is a first countable space with property and with a -diagonal then the cardinality of is at most . We also show that if is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of is at most .
For a topological property , we say that a space is star if for every open cover of the space there exists such that . We consider space with star countable extent establishing the relations between the star countable extent property and the properties star Lindelöf and feebly Lindelöf. We describe some classes of spaces in which the star countable extent property is equivalent to either the Lindelöf property or separability. An example is given of a Tychonoff star Lindelöf space with...
We characterize spaces with --linked bases as specially embedded subspaces of separable spaces, and derive some corollaries, such as the -productivity of the property of having a -linked base.
We recall some classical results relating normality and some natural weakenings of normality in -spaces over almost disjoint families of branches in the Cantor tree to special sets of reals like -sets, -sets and -sets. We introduce a new class of special sets of reals which corresponds to the corresponding almost disjoint family of branches being -separated. This new class fits between -sets and perfectly meager sets. We also discuss conditions for an almost disjoint family being potentially...
