\(P\)(locally-finite)-embedding and rectangular normality of product spaces (Q1612271)

This article deals with the notion of \(P^{\gamma}\) (locally-finite)-embedded subspace and the notion of \(P\) (locally-finite)-embedded subspace that were introduced by \textit{J. Dydak} [Topology Appl. 74, 225-258 (1996; Zbl 0869.54038)]. The author introduces a space \(J_{\gamma}(K)\) and a class of spaces called spaces of type \(t(\gamma,\kappa,\lambda)\) and charaterizes \(P^{\gamma}\)(locally-finite)-embedding by products with these spaces. He also characterizes extendability of a certain type of locally finite open covers of a closed subspace \(A\) of a normal space \(X\) to those of \(X\) by products with these spaces. This extends a result of Przymusiński. The author applies his results to give characterizations of Katětov spaces and functionally Katětov spaces.
