Paracompactness in ordered spaces
Under the assumption that the real line cannot be covered by -many nowhere dense sets, it is shown that (a) no Čech-complete space can be partitioned into -many closed nowhere dense sets; (b) no Hausdorff continuum can be partitioned into -many closed sets; and (c) no compact Hausdorff space can be partitioned into -many closed -sets.
In this paper we consider rational subspaces of the plane. A rational space is a space which has a basis of open sets with countable boundaries. In the special case where the boundaries are finite, the space is called rim-finite.
For any ordinal of uncountable cofinality, a -tree is a tree of height such that for each , where . In this note we get a Pressing Down Lemma for -trees and discuss some of its applications. We show that if is an uncountable ordinal and is a Hausdorff tree of height such that for each , then the tree is collectionwise Hausdorff if and only if for each antichain and for each limit ordinal with , is not stationary in . In the last part of this note, we investigate some...
