Abstract

Zero-dimensional structural numbers Z0indZ_0^{\mathrm{ind}} and Z0dimZ_0^{\mathrm{dim}} w.r.t. dimensions ind\mathrm{ind} and dim\mathrm{dim} were introduced by Georgiou, Hattori, Megaritis, and Sereti. Somewhat similarly, we define structural numbers SnA\mathrm{Sn}^{A} for different subclasses AA of the class of hereditarily normal T1T_1-spaces. In particular, we show that: (a) for any metrizable space XX with dimX=n0\dim X = n \geq 0 we have 1SnMdimXn+11 \leq \mathrm{Sn}^{M_{dim}}X \leq n+1; (b) for any countable-dimensional metrizable space YY we have 1SnMdimY01 \leq \mathrm{Sn}^{M_{dim}}Y \leq \aleph_0, where Mdim M_{dim} is the class of metrizable spaces ZZ with dimZ=0.\mathrm{dim}\, Z = 0.
