Abstract

The depth of a topological space XX (g(X)g(X)) is defined as the supremum of the cardinalities of closures of discrete subsets of XX. Solving a problem of Mart\'inez-Ruiz, Ram\'irez-P\'aramo and Romero-Morales, we prove that the cardinal inequality Xg(X)L(X)F(X)|X| \leq g(X)^{L(X) \cdot F(X)} holds for every Hausdorff space XX, where L(X)L(X) is the Lindel\"of number of XX and F(X)F(X) is the supremum of the cardinalities of the free sequences in XX.
