Abstract

We give several new bounds for the cardinality of a Hausdorff topological space XX involving the weak Lindel\"of degree wL(X)wL(X). In particular, we show that if XX is extremally disconnected, then X2wL(X)πχ(X)ψ(X)|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\pi\chi(X)\psi(X)}, and if XX is additionally power homogeneous, then X2wL(X)πχ(X)|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\pi\chi(X)}. We also prove that if XX is an almost Lindel\"of space with a strong GδG_\delta-diagonal of rank 2, then X20|X|\leq 2^{\aleph_0}; that if XX is a star-cdc space with a GδG_\delta-diagonal of rank 3, then X20|X| \le 2^{\aleph_0}; and if XX is any normal star-cdc space XX with a GδG_\delta-diagonal of rank 2, then X20|X|\leq 2^{\aleph_0}. Several improvements of results in [9] are also given. We show that if XX is locally compact, then XwL(X)ψ(X)|X|\leq wL(X)^{\psi(X)} and that XwL(X)t(X)|X|\leq wL(X)^{t(X)} if XX is additionally power homogeneous. We also prove that X2ψc(X)t(X)wL(X)|X|\leq 2^{\psi_c(X)t(X)wL(X)} for any space with a π\pi-base whose elements have compact closures and that the stronger inequality XwL(X)ψc(X)t(X)|X|\leq wL(X)^{\psi_c(X)t(X)} is true when XX is locally HH-closed or locally Lindel\"of.
