Nonincrease of density and weak density under weakly normal functors (Q2518070)

A functor \(F:Tych\to Tych\) is called weakly normal if it is continuous, preserves weight, embeddings, intersections, singletons and the empty set, and takes \(k\)-covering maps to surjections. Weak density of a topological space \(X\) is the least cardinal \(\kappa\) such that a union of \(\kappa\) centered systems of open sets is a \(\pi\)-base of \(X\). It is proved that weakly normal functors do not increase density and weak density.
