It is well known that in a separable topological space every point-finite family of open subsets is countable. In the following we are going to show that both in σ-finite measure-spaces and in topological spaces satisfying the countable chain condition, point-finite families consisting of “large” subsets are countable.Notation and terminology. Let A be a set. The family consisting of all (finite) subsets of A is denoted by . Let be a family of subsets of A. The sets and are denoted by and , respectively. We say that the family is point-finite (disjoint) if for each a ∈ A , the family has at most finitely many members (at most one member).

A connection between the separability and the countable chain condition of spaces withL-property (a topological spaceXhasL-property if for every topological spaceY, separately continuous functionf:X×Y→ℝand open setI⊆ℝ,the setf−1(I)is anFσ-set) is studied. We show that every completely regular Baire space with theL-property and the countable chain condition is separable and constructs a nonseparable completely regular space with theL-property and the countable chain condition. This gives a negative answer to a question of M. Burke.

It has long been known that the existence of a Souslin line entails (and is entailed by) the existence of a Souslin tree; indeed such a tree can be built from the open subsets of the line in a natural way. It will be shown that less onerous restrictions on a topological space than orderability allow the construction to proceed. For example, to the expected requirements-that the space satisfy the countable chain condition and not be separable, one can add the hypothesis of local connectivity, and that either first category sets be nowhere dense or that nowhere dense sets be separable.

Let (E, τ) be a locally convex linear Hausdorff topological space. We have proved mainly the following results.(i) Let f be nonexpansive on a nonempty τ-sequentially complete, τ-bounded, and starshaped subset M of E and let (I-f) map τ-bounded and τ-sequentially closed subsets of M into τ-sequentially closed subsets of M. Then f has a fixed-point in M.(ii) Let f be nonexpansive on a nonempty, τ-sequentially compact, and starshaped subset M of E. Then f has a fixed-point in M.(iii) Let (E, τ) be τ-quasi-complete. Let X be a nonempty, τ-bounded, τ-closed, and convex subset of E and M be a τ-compact subset of X. Let F be a commutative family of nonexpansive mappings on X having the property that for some f1 ∈ F and for each x ∈ X, τ-closure of the setcontains a point of M. Then the family F has a common fixed-point in M.

The main purpose of this paper is to show that there exists a Souslin line if and only if there exists a countable chain condition space which is not weak-separable but has a generic π-base. If I is the closure of the isolated points in a space X, then X is said to be weak-separable if a first category set is dense in X – I. A π-base is said to be generic if, whenever a member of is included in the disjoint union of members of it is included in one of them.
