Abstract: In a recent paper O. Pavlov proved the following two interesting resolvability results: (1) If a space $X$ satisfies $Delta(X)>ps(X)$ then $X$ is maximally resolvable. (2) If a $T_3$-space $X$ satisfies $Delta(X)>pe(X)$ then $X$ is $omega$-resolvable. Here $ps(X)$ ($pe(X)$) denotes the smallest successor cardinal such that $X$ has no discrete (closed discrete) subset of that size and $Delta(X)$ is the smallest cardinality of a non-empty open set in $X$. In this note we improve (1) by showing that $Delta(X)>$ $ps(X)$ can be relaxed to $Delta(X)ge$ $ps(X)$. In particular, if $X$ is a space of countable spread with $Delta(X)>omega$ then $X$ is maximally resolvable. The question if an analogous improvement of (2) is valid remains open, but we present a proof of (2) that is simpler than Pavlov's.

Review text

Given a cardinal number \(\kappa > 1\), a topological space \(X\) is said to be \(\kappa\)-resolvable if it contains \(\kappa\) many pairwise disjoint dense subspaces. \(\Delta(X)\)-resolvable spaces are called maximally resolvable; \(\Delta(X)\) is the dispersion character of \(X\), the minimal cardinality of a non-empty open subset of \(X\). \textit{O. Pavlov} [Topology Appl. 126, 37--47 (2002; Zbl 1012.54004)] proved that a \(T_1\)-space \(X\) is maximally resolvable if it satisfies \(\Delta(X) > ps(X)\) and a regular space \(X\) with \(\Delta(X) > pe(X)\) is \(\omega\)-resolvable, where \(ps(X)\) (resp. \(pe(X)\)) is the minimal successor cardinal number such that \(X\) has no discrete (resp. closed discrete) subspace of that cardinality. In this paper the authors define two cardinal invariants of a space \(X\), \(rs(X) \leq ps(X)\) and \(\hat{e}(X) \leq pe(X)\), as the smallest uncountable regular (resp. infinite) cardinal such that \(X\) has no discrete (resp. closed discrete) subspace of that cardinality, and show: (1) a space \(X\) with \(\Delta(X) \geq rs(X)\) is maximally resolvable, and (2) a regular space \(X\) with \(\Delta (X) > \hat{e}(X)\) is \(\omega\)-resolvable.
