On closures of discrete sets
2018
The depth of a topological space $X$ ($g(X)$) is defined as the supremum of the cardinalities of closures of discrete subsets of $X$. Solving a problem of Mart\'inez-Ruiz, Ram\'irez-P\'aramo and Romero-Morales, we prove that the cardinal inequality $|X| \leq g(X)^{L(X) \cdot F(X)}$ holds for every Hausdorff space $X$, where $L(X)$ is the Lindel\"of number of $X$ and $F(X)$ is the supremum of the cardinalities of the free sequences in $X$.
Cardinal invariants of cellular Lindelof spaces
2018
A space X is said to be cellular-Lindelof if for every cellular family $$\mathcal {U}$$ there is a Lindelof subspace L of X which meets every element of $$\mathcal {U}$$ . Cellular-Lindelof spaces generalize both Lindelof spaces and spaces with the countable chain condition. Solving questions of Xuan and Song, we prove that every cellular-Lindelof monotonically normal space is Lindelof and that every cellular-Lindelof space with a regular $$G_\delta $$ -diagonal has cardinality at most $$2^\mathfrak {c}$$ . We also prove that every normal cellular-Lindelof first-countable space has cardinality at most continuum under $$2^{<\mathfrak {c}}=\mathfrak {c}$$ and that every normal cellular-Lindel…
A note on discrete sets
2009
We give several partial positive answers to a question of Juhasz and Szentmiklossy regarding the minimum number of discrete sets required to cover a compact space. We study the relationship between the size of discrete sets, free sequences and their closures with the cardinality of a Hausdorff space, improving known results in the literature.
On the cardinality of almost discretely Lindelof spaces
2016
A space is said to be almost discretely Lindelof if every discrete subset can be covered by a Lindelof subspace. Juhasz et al. (Weakly linearly Lindelof monotonically normal spaces are Lindelof, preprint, arXiv:1610.04506 ) asked whether every almost discretely Lindelof first-countable Hausdorff space has cardinality at most continuum. We prove that this is the case under $$2^{<{\mathfrak {c}}}={\mathfrak {c}}$$ (which is a consequence of Martin’s Axiom, for example) and for Urysohn spaces in ZFC, thus improving a result by Juhasz et al. (First-countable and almost discretely Lindelof $$T_3$$ spaces have cardinality at most continuum, preprint, arXiv:1612.06651 ). We conclude with a few rel…
A short proof of a theorem of Juhasz
2011
Abstract We give a simple proof of the increasing strengthening of Arhangelʼskii Theorem. Our proof naturally leads to a refinement of this result of Juhasz.
Increasing chains and discrete reflection of cardinality
2013
Combining ideas from two of our previous papers, we refine Arhangel'skii Theorem by proving a cardinal inequality of which this is a special case: any increasing union of strongly discretely Lindelof spaces with countable free sequences and countable pseudocharacter has cardinality at most continuum. We then give a partial positive answer to a problem of Alan Dow on reflection of cardinality by closures of discrete sets.
