On first countable, cellular-compact spaces

Abstract: As it was introduced by Tkachuk and Wilson, a topological space

X

is cellular-compact if given any cellular, i.e. disjoint, family

m a t h c a l U

of non-empty open subsets of

X

there is a compact subspace

K s u b s e t X

such that

K c a p U e e m p t y s e t

for each

U i n m a t h c a l U

. Answering several questions raised by Tkachuk and Wilson we show that (1) any first countable cellular-compact

T_{2}

space is

T_{3}

, and so its cardinality is at most

m a t h f r a k c = 2^{o m e g a}

; (2)

c o v (m a t h c a l M) > {o m e g a}_{1}

implies that every first countable and separable cellular-compact

T_{2}

space is compact; (3 if there is no

S

-space then any cellular-compact

T_{3}

space of countable spread is compact; (4)

M A_{{o m e g a}_{1}}

implies that every point of a compact

T_{2}

space of countable spread has a disjoint local

p i

-base.
