\((\sigma)\)-closure-preserving \((\sigma)\)-cushioned metacompact submetacompact

Product spaces in general topology (54B10) Noncompact covering properties (paracompact, Lindelöf, etc.) (54D20)

The author brings a relatively complete survey on the recent results related to the following old but still open problems (asked by Katuta in 1975): Is a space metacompact if every directed open cover of the space has a cushioned refinement? Is a space submetacompact if every directed open cover of the space has a \(\sigma\)-cushioned refinement? In 1978 Junnila proved that these problems are equivalent to the following: Is a space metacompact if every directed open cover of the space has a semi-open point-star refinement? Is a space submetacompact if every directed open cover of the space has a point-star refining sequence by semiopen covers? The author summarizes most of the known results related to metacompactness and submetacompactness, including some recent results and related open questions. The paper does not contain any of the author's new results but yields a detailed introduction to the topics with a good survey what is known and what is still open. This makes the paper interesting and useful for everybody who is specialized in this part of topology, but especially for young topologists.
