Abstract

We first introduce and study two new classes of subsets in T0T_0 spaces - ω\omega-Rudin sets and ω\omega-well-filtered determined sets lying between the class of all closures of countable directed subsets and that of irreducible closed subsets, and two new types of spaces - ω\omega-dd spaces and ω\omega-well-filtered spaces. We prove that an ω\omega-well-filtered T0T_0 space is locally compact iff it is core compact. One immediate corollary is that every core compact well-filtered space is sober, answering Jia-Jung problem with a new method. We also prove that all irreducible closed subsets in a first countable ω\omega-well-filtered T0T_0 space are directed. Therefore, a first countable T0T_0 space XX is sober iff XX is well-filtered iff XX is an ω\omega-well-filtered dd-space. Using ω\omega-well-filtered determined sets, we present a direct construction of the ω\omega-well-filtered reflections of T0T_0 spaces, and show that products of ω\omega-well-filtered spaces are ω\omega-well-filtered.
