On star Lindelöf spaces

In this paper, we prove that if X is a space with a regular Gδ-diagonal and X2 is star Lindelöf then the cardinality of X is at most 2c. We also prove that if X is a star Lindelöf space with a symmetric g-function such that {g2(n, x): n ∈ ω} = {x} for each x ∈ X then the cardinality of X is at most 2c. Moreover, we prove that if X is a star Lindelöf Hausdorff space satisfying Hψ(X) = κ then e(X) 22κ; and if X is Hausdorff and we(X) = Hψ(X) = κsubset of a space then e(X) 2κ. Finally, we prove that under V = L if X is a first countable DCCC normal space then X has countable extent; and under MA+¬CH there is an example of a first countable, DCCC and normal space which is not star countable extent. This gives an answer to the Question 3.10 in Spaces with property (DC(ω1)), Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin., 58(1) (2017), 131-135.

Some remarks on almost star countable spaces

A space X is almost star countable (weakly star countable) if for each open cover U of X there exists a countable subset F of X such that \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $\bigcup {_{x \in F}\overline {St\left( {x,U} \right)} } = X$ \end{document} (respectively, \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $\overline {\bigcup {_{x \in F}} St\left( {x,U} \right)} = X$ \end{document}. In this paper, we investigate the relationships among star countable spaces, almost star countable spaces and weakly star countable spaces, and also study topological properties of almost star countable spaces.

A NOTE ON SPACES WITH RANK 2-DIAGONAL

We prove that if a space $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}X$ with a rank 2-diagonal either has the countable chain condition or is star countable then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $\mathfrak{c}$.

Remarks on absolutely star countable spaces

We prove the following statements: (1) every Tychonoff linked-Lindelöf (centered-Lindelöf, star countable) space can be represented as a closed subspace in a Tychonoff pseudocompact absolutely star countable space; (2) every Hausdorff (regular, Tychonoff) linked-Lindelöf space can be represented as a closed G δ-subspace in a Hausdorff (regular, Tychonoff) absolutely star countable space; (3) there exists a pseudocompact absolutely star countable Tychonoff space having a regular closed subspace which is not star countable (hence not absolutely star countable); (4) assuming $$2^{\aleph _0 } = 2^{\aleph _1 }$$, there exists an absolutely star countable normal space having a regular closed subspace which is not star countable (hence not absolutely star countable).

Characterizations of Strongly Paracompact Spaces

Characterizations of strongly compact spaces are given based on the existence of a star-countable open refinement for every increasing open cover. It is proved that a countably paracompact normal space (a perfectly normal space or a monotonically normal space) is strongly paracompact if and only if every increasing open cover of the space has a star-countable open refinement. Moreover, it is shown that a space is linearlyDprovided that every increasing open cover of the space has a point-countable open refinement.
