Factorization theorems for extensions of maps
The notion of -normality was introduced and studied by Arhangel’skii, Ludwig in 2001. Recently, almost -normal spaces, which is a simultaneous generalization of -normal and almost normal spaces, were introduced by Das, Bhat and Tartir. We introduce a new generalization of normality, namely weak -normality, in terms of -closed sets, which turns out to be a simultaneous generalization of -normality and -normality. A space is said to be weakly -normal (w-normal if for every pair of disjoint...
We study an order relation on the fibers of a continuous map and its application to the study of the structure of compact spaces of uncountable weight.
We answer several questions of V. Tkachuk [Fund. Math. 186 (2005)] by showing that ∙ there is a ZFC example of a first countable, 0-dimensional Hausdorff space with no point-countable π-base (in fact, the minimum order of a π-base of the space can be made arbitrarily large); ∙ if there is a κ-Suslin line then there is a first countable GO-space of cardinality κ⁺ in which the order of any π-base is at least κ; ∙ it is consistent to have a first countable,...
We prove two theorems that characterize tightness in certain products of fans in terms of families of integer-valued functions. We also define several notions of forcing that allow us to manipulate the structure of the set of functions from some cardinal θ to ω, and hence, the tightness of these products. These results give new constructions of first countable <θ-cwH spaces that are not ≤θ-cwH.
