Urysohn's metrization theorem for higher cardinals

General Topology 2011-05-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper a generalization of Urysohn's metrization theorem is given for higher cardinals. Namely, it is shown that a topological space with a basis of cardinality at most ωμ|\omega_\mu| or smaller is ωμ\omega_\mu-metrizable if and only if it is ωμ\omega_\mu-additive and regular, or, equivalently, ωμ\omega_\mu-additive, zero-dimensional, and T\textsubscript{0}. Furthermore, all such spaces are shown to be embeddable in a suitable generalization of Hilbert's cube.
