Some compactifications of the integers

From MaRDI portal





The background of this paper occurred in the question raised by van Douwen in the paper of \textit{W. W. Comfort} and \textit{S. Negrepontis} [Chain conditions in topology (1982; Zbl 0488.54002), p. 207] whether the Continuum Hypothesis implies that the class of all first countable compacta distinguishes the standard chain conditions that lie between ``ccc and ``separable. The condition ccc (the countable chain condition) means that every disjoint family of open subsets of a topological space must be countable. In this paper a series of examples is presented which demonstrate some standard chain conditions and are counterexamples for the others. The spaces in these examples are constructed by means of certain compactifications of the discrete space \(\mathbb{N}\) of positive integers.
