Free sequences and the tightness of pseudoradial spaces

Abstract: Let

F (X)

be the supremum of cardinalities of free sequences in

X

. We prove that the radial character of every Lindel"of Hausdorff almost radial space

X

and the set-tightness of every Lindel"of Hausdorff space are always bounded above by

F (X)

. Solving a question of Bella, we exhibit a Hausdorff radial space

X

whose radial character is strictly larger than

F (X)

. We then improve a result of Dow, Juh'asz, Soukup, Szentmikl'ossy and Weiss by proving that if

X

is a Lindel"of Hausdorff space, and

X_{d} e l t a

denotes the

G_{d} e l t a

topology on

X

then

t (X_{d} e l t a) l e q 2^{t (X)}

. Finally, we exploit this to prove that if

X

is a Lindel"of Hausdorff pseudoradial space then

F (X_{d} e l t a) l e q 2^{F (X)}

, which partially answer a question of Bella and ourselves.
