\(d\)-calibers and \(d\)-tightness in compact spaces (Q555793)

Okunev and Tkachuk asked whether a compact space has countable \(d\)-tightness provided that \(\omega_1\) is a caliber for any of its dense subspaces. In this paper the authors present a consistent negative solution to this problem. They first point out that a crowded compact space \(Z\) which has a countable dense set \(D\) which is a \(P(\kappa)\)-set in \(Z\) for some \(\kappa\geq\omega_2\) provides a counterexample. Then they prove that if \(u\) is a \(P(\omega_2)\)-point in \(\omega^*\) and \({\mathfrak b} \geq \omega_2\), then \(\beta \operatorname{Seq}(u)\) is such a space. Several new and interesting facts about the spaces \(\text{Seq}(u)\) are steps in the proof of their main result.
