Weak regularity and consecutive topologizations and regularizations of pretopologies
2009
Abstract L. Foged proved that a weakly regular topology on a countable set is regular. In terms of convergence theory, this means that the topological reflection Tξ of a regular pretopology ξ on a countable set is regular. It is proved that this still holds if ξ is a regular σ -compact pretopology. On the other hand, it is proved that for each n ω there is a (regular) pretopology ρ (on a set of cardinality c ) such that ( RT ) k ρ > ( RT ) n ρ for each k n and ( RT ) n ρ is a Hausdorff compact topology, where R is the reflector to regular pretopologies. It is also shown that there exists a regular pretopology of Hausdorff RT -order ⩾ ω 0 . Moreover, all these pretopologies have the property…
P-spaces and the Whyburn property
2009
We investigate the Whyburn and weakly Whyburn property in the class of $P$-spaces, that is spaces where every countable intersection of open sets is open. We construct examples of non-weakly Whyburn $P$-spaces of size continuum, thus giving a negative answer under CH to a question of Pelant, Tkachenko, Tkachuk and Wilson. In addition, we show that the weak Kurepa Hypothesis (a set-theoretic assumption weaker than CH) implies the existence of a non-weakly Whyburn $P$-space of size $\aleph_2$. Finally, we consider the behavior of the above-mentioned properties under products; we show in particular that the product of a Lindel\"of weakly Whyburn P-space and a Lindel\"of Whyburn $P$-space is we…
