On strong cellularity type properties of Lindelöf groups (Q2569000)

The authors study cellular-type properties of Lindelöf-like groups. A space \(X\) is said to be \(\lambda\)-Lindelöf if every open cover of \(X\) has a subcover of cardinality \(\leq\lambda\). A \(G_\tau\)-set in a space \(X\) is the intersection of at most \(\tau\)-many open sets in \(X\) and a family of such sets is referred to as a \(G_\tau\)-family. The \(\tau\)-cellularity of a space \(X\) is cel\(_\tau (X)=\max (\omega ,\min\{\lambda:\) any \(G_\tau\)-family \(\xi\) in \(X\) has a dense in \(\xi\) subfamily of cardinality \(\leq \lambda\}\)). The authors answer the question when \(cel_\omega(G)\leq\omega\) and \(cel_\omega(G)\leq\omega_1\) for a group \(G\). It is shown that, for Lindelöf groups, the difference between \(c(G)\) and \(cel_\omega(G)\) may be arbitrary large (in possible limits), that is, for any cardinal \(\mu\) with \(\omega<\mu\leq c\), a Lindelöf group \(G\) is constructed which is separable (and hence \(c(G)=\omega\)) while \(cel_\omega(G)=\mu\). It is shown that cellularity of a Lindelöf group does not exceed \(\omega_1\) if this group is generated by its \(\omega_1\)-Lindelöf subspace which is a P-space. In addition, several facts about cellularity and \(\kappa\)-cellularity of \(\lambda\)-Lindelöf groups generated by their \(\kappa\)-stable subspaces are proven.
