Further results on cellular-Lindelöf spaces (Q779713)

Recall the notion of Pixley-Roy topology for \(\mathcal{F}[X]\), the space of all non-empty finite subsets of a space \(X\) (see [\textit{E. K. van Douwen}, in: Set-theor. Topol., Vol. dedic. to M. K. Moore, 111--134 (1977; Zbl 0372.54006)]): for \(A\in \mathcal{F}[X]\) and an open set \(U\subset X\), let \([A, U]=\{B\in \mathcal{F}[X]: A\subset B\subset U\} \), then the family \(\{[A, U]: A\in \mathcal{F}[X], ~U \mbox{ is open in} \ X\}\) is a base for a topology. The countable chain condition is denoted by CCC. The following is the authors' summary: ``A space \(X\) is said to be cellular-Lindelöf: if for every family \(\mathcal{U}\) of disjoint non-empty open sets of \(X\), there is a Lindelöf subspace \(L\subset X\), such that \(U\cap L\neq \emptyset\) for every \(U\in \mathcal{U}\). This class of spaces was introduced by \textit{A. Bella} and \textit{S. Spadaro} [Monatsh. Math. 186, No. 2, 345--353 (2018; Zbl 1398.54008)]. In this paper, our main result is to show that the Pixley-Roy space \(\mathcal{F}[X]\) is cellular-Lindelöf if and only if it is CCC. We also establish a cardinal inequality for cellular-Lindelöf spaces which have a symmetric \(g\)-function. Some open questions are posed.''\par
