ISOCOMPACTNESS AND RELATED TOPICS OF WEAK COVERING PROPERTY

From MaRDI portal





Topological properties closely related to isocompactness are investigated, where a space is called \textit{isocompact} if every countably compact closed subspace is compact. In particular, the authors introduce a cardinal generalization of pure spaces defined by \textit{A. V. Arkhangel'skij} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 21, 550-554 (1980; Zbl 0485.54020)]. For an infinite cardinal \(\kappa\), a family \(\{{\mathcal V}_\alpha:\alpha<\kappa\}\) of collections of subsets of a space \(X\) is called \textit{\(\kappa\)-interlacing} on \(X\) if \(\bigcup\bigcup{\mathcal V}_\alpha\) covers \(X\) and for each \(\alpha<\kappa\) each \(V\in{\mathcal V}_\alpha\) is open in \(\bigcup{\mathcal V}_\alpha\). A space \(X\) is said to be \textit{\(\kappa\)-pure} if for every free closed ultrafilter \({\mathcal H}\) on \(X\) with the \(\kappa\)-intersection property, there exists a \(\kappa\)-interlacing \(\{{\mathcal V}_\alpha:\alpha<\kappa\}\) on \(X\) that is \(\kappa\)-suspended from \({\mathcal H}\), i.e., for each \(\alpha<\kappa\) and each \(x\in\bigcup{\mathcal V}_\alpha\), there exists \({\mathcal F}\subseteq{\mathcal H}\) with \(|{\mathcal F}|\leq\kappa\) such that \(st(x,{\mathcal V}_\alpha)\cap(\bigcap{\mathcal F})=\emptyset\). Main results are: (1) Every \(\kappa\)-pure space is \(\kappa\)-neat in the sense of \textit{M. Sakai} [Pacific J. Math. 122, 211-221 (1986; Zbl 0592.54025)], and consequently, every initially \(\kappa\)-compact, \(\kappa\)-pure space is compact. The case \(\kappa=\omega\) of the latter statement is due to A. V. Arkhangel'skij. (2) Every ultrapure space with countable spread is Lindelöf. Some open questions concerning the relationship among various properties which imply isocompactness are asked.
