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 T3-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.
