Abstract: We improve some results of Pavlov and of Filatova, respectively, concerning a problem of Malychin by showing that every regular space X that satisfies Delta(X)>ext(X) is omega-resolvable. Here Delta(X), the dispersion character of X, is the smallest size of a non-empty open set in X and ext(X), the extent of X, is the supremum of the sizes of all closed-and-discrete subsets of X. In particular, regular Lindel"of spaces of uncountable dispersion character are omega-resolvable. We also prove that any regular Lindel"of space X with |X|=Delta(X)=omega_1 is even omega_1-resolvable. The question if regular Lindel"of spaces of uncountable dispersion character are maximally resolvable remains wide open.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a topological space. For a cardinal \(\lambda\), \(X\) is \(\lambda\)-resolvable if it contains \(\lambda\) many mutually disjoint dense subsets. The dispersion \(\Delta(X)\) of \(X\) is the minimum cardinality of non-empty open subsets of \(X\) while the extent e\((X)\) of \(X\) is the supremum of the cardinalities of closed discrete subsets of \(X\). It is shown that if \(X\) is regular with \(\Delta(X)>\text{e}(X)\) then \(X\) is \(\omega\)-resolvable. If, further, \(X\) is Lindelöf and \(|X|=\Delta(X)=\omega_1\) then \(X\) is \(\omega_1\)-resolvable.
