More reflections on compactness

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the question of when \(X_M=X\), where \(X_M\) is the elementary submodel topology on \(X\cap M\), especially in the case when \(X_M\) is compact. This line of investigation was started in earlier papers of the second autor. Out of the many interesting results we cite the following: (a) Suppose that \(0^{\sharp}\) does not exist, \(\kappa \in M\), and \(X_M=X\). If \((X^{\kappa})_M\) is compact, then \((X^{\kappa})_M=X^{\kappa}=(X_M)^{\kappa}\). (b) Let \(X \in M\), with \(X_M\) compact and \(T_2\). If \(\chi (X) \leq \kappa\) and \(\kappa \subseteq M\), then \(X_M=X\). (c) Suppose \(2^{\omega}\subseteq M\). If \(X_M\) is compact, \(T_2\) and separable, then \(X=X_M\). (d) Let \(M\) be uncountable. Then \(\omega_{1} \subseteq M\) if and only if whenever \(X_M\) is compact, \(T_2\), separable and uncountable, then \(X\) is separable. (e) Suppose \(X_M\) is uncountable, compact, \(T_2\) and first countable. Then \(X=X_M\). (f) If \(X\) is a compact \(T_2\) scattered space, then \(X_M\) is compact for every elementary submodel \(M\) such that \(X \in M\). (g) Assume \(0^{\sharp}\) does not exist. Let \(A\) be a Boolean algebra. If \(A \cap M\) is complete and \(S(A)_M\) is compact, then \(A=A \cap M\).
