The C_p-stable closure of the class of separable metrizable spaces

Abstract: Denote by

m a t h b f C_{p} [m a t h f r a k M_{0}]

the

C_{p}

-stable closure of the class

m a t h f r a k M_{0}

of all separable metrizable spaces, i.e.,

m a t h b f C_{p} [m a t h f r a k M_{0}]

is the smallest class of topological spaces that contains

m a t h f r a k M_{0}

and is closed under taking subspaces, homeomorphic images, countable topological sums, countable Tychonoff products, and function spaces

C_{p} (X, Y)

. Using a recent deep result of Chernikov and Shelah (2014), we prove that

m a t h b f C_{p} [m a t h f r a k M_{0}]

coincides with the class of all Tychonoff spaces of cardinality strictly less than

. Being motivated by the theory of Generalized Metric Spaces, we characterize also other natural

C_{p}

-type stable closures of the class

m a t h f r a k M_{0}

.
