Abstract: We first introduce and study two new classes of subsets in T0 spaces - omega-Rudin sets and omega-well-filtered determined sets lying between the class of all closures of countable directed subsets and that of irreducible closed subsets, and two new types of spaces - omega-d spaces and omega-well-filtered spaces. We prove that an omega-well-filtered T0 space is locally compact iff it is core compact. One immediate corollary is that every core compact well-filtered space is sober, answering Jia-Jung problem with a new method. We also prove that all irreducible closed subsets in a first countable omega-well-filtered T0 space are directed. Therefore, a first countable T0 space X is sober iff X is well-filtered iff X is an omega-well-filtered d-space. Using omega-well-filtered determined sets, we present a direct construction of the omega-well-filtered reflections of T0 spaces, and show that products of omega-well-filtered spaces are omega-well-filtered.


The authors investigate two new classes of subsets in \(T_0\) spaces, which they call \(\omega\)-Rudin sets and \(\omega\)-well-filtered determined sets. These lie between the class of all closures of countable directed subsets and that of irreducible closed subsets. They also consider two new types of spaces which they call \(\omega\)-\(d\)-spaces and \(\omega\)-well-filtered spaces. They show that an \(\omega\)-well-filtered \(T_0\) space is locally compact if and only if it is core compact. A consequence is that every core compact well-filtered space is sober, answering the Jia-Jung problem in a new way. They also prove that all irreducible closed subsets in a first countable \(\omega\)-well-filtered \(T_0\) space are directed. They conclude that a first countable \(T_0\) space \( X\) is sober if and only if \(X\) is well-filtered if and only if \(X\) is an \(\omega\)-well-filtered \(d\)-space. Making use of \(\omega\)-well-filtered determined sets, they finally give a construction of the \(\omega\)-well-filtered reflections of \(T_0\) spaces and prove that products of \(\omega\)-well-filtered spaces are \(\omega\)-well-filtered.
