Power homogeneous compacta and variations on tightness (Q2105042)

``Motivated by results of \textit{I. Juhász} and \textit{J. van Mill} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 146, No. 1, 429--437 (2018; Zbl 1382.54002)], the weak tightness \(wt(X)\) of a topological space \(X\) was introduced in [\textit{N. Carlson}, Topology Appl. 249, 103--111 (2018; Zbl 1403.54002)] with the property \(wt(X)\leq t(X)\). This cardinal invariant was investigated further by \textit{A. Bella} and the author [Monatsh. Math. 192, No. 1, 39--48 (2020; Zbl 1440.54005)].'' A space \(X\) is homogeneous if for all \(x, y\in X\) there exists a homeomorphism \(h:X\rightarrow X\) such that \(h(x)=y\). \(X\) is power homogeneous if there exists a cardinal \(\kappa\) such that \(X^{\kappa}\) is homogeneous. In this paper, the author proves the following results. Theorem 3.19. If \(X\) is a power homogeneous compactum then \(|X|\leq2^{at(X)\pi_{\chi}(X)}\). Theorem 3.20. If \(X\) is a power homogeneous Hausdorff space then \(|X|\leq2^{L(X)at(X)\pi_{\chi}(X)pct(X)}\). Theorem 4.4. If \(X\) is homogeneous and Hausdorff then \(|X|\leq2^{pwL_c(X)wt(X)\pi_{\chi}(X)pct(X)}\). Theorem 4.8. If \(X\) is a homogeneous regular Hausdorff space then \(w(X)\leq2^{L(X)wt(X)pct(X)}\). (Here \(at(X)\) denotes almost tightness introduced in the present paper, and \(pwL_c\) is the piecewise weak Lindelöf degree for closed sets, a cardinal invariant introduced in [\textit{A. Bella} and \textit{S. Spadaro}, Can. Math. Bull. 63, No. 1, 197--203 (2020; Zbl 1437.54004)].)
