Strongly discrete subsets with Lindelöf closures
Keywords:
cardinality bounds, cardinal invariants, strongly discretely Lindelof, cellular-Lindelöf, cellular-compactAbstract
We define a topological space to be an SDL space if the closure of each one of its strongly discrete subsets is Lindelöf. After distinguishing this property from the Lindelöf property we make various remarks about cardinal invariants of SDL spaces. For example we prove that $|X|\leq 2^{\chi(X)}$ for every SDL Urysohn space and that every SDL P-space of character $\leq\omega_1$ is regular and has cardinality $\leq 2^{\omega_1}$. Finally, we exploit our results to obtain some partial answers to questions about the cardinality of cellular-Lindelöf spaces.
