We give several new bounds for the cardinality of a Hausdorff topological space $X$ involving the weak Lindel\"of degree $wL(X)$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is extremally disconnected, then $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\pi\chi(X)\psi(X)}$, and…

We give a general closing-off argument in Theorem 2.1 from which several corollaries follow, including (1) if $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space then $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\psi(X)}$, and (2) if $X$ is a locally compact power homogeneous…

For a Urysohn space $X$ we define the regular diagonal degree $\overline{\Delta}(X)$ of $X$ to be the minimal infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ has a regular $G_\kappa$-diagonal i.e. there is a family $(U_\eta:\eta<\kappa)$ of open…

We present a bound for the weak Lindel\"of number of the $G_\delta$-modification of a Hausdorff space which implies various known cardinal inequalities, including the following two fundamental results in the theory of cardinal invariants in…

We introduce the cardinal invariant $aL^\prime(X)$ and show that $|X|\leq 2^{aL^\prime(X)\chi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (a corollary of Theorem 4.4. This invariant has the properties a) $aL^\prime(X)=\aleph_0$ if $X$ is H-closed, and…

For a topological space $X$, let $X_\delta$ be the space $X$ with $G_\delta$-topology of $X$. For an uncountable cardinal $\kappa$, we prove that the following are equivalent: (1) $\kappa$ is $\omega_1$-strongly compact. (2) For every…

Sapirovskii [18] proved that $|X|\leq\pi\chi(X)^{c(X)\psi(X)}$, for a regular space $X$. We introduce the $\theta$-pseudocharacter of a Urysohn space $X$, denoted by $\psi_\theta (X)$, and prove that the previous inequality holds for…

In this survey we catalogue the many results of the past several decades concerning bounds on the cardinality of a topological space with homogeneous or homogeneous-like properties. These results include van Douwen's Theorem, which states…

We define a topological space to be an "SDL space" if the closure of each one of its strongly discrete subsets is Lindel\"of. After distinguishing this property from the Lindel\"of property we make various remarks about cardinal invariants…

Motivated by results of Juh\'asz and van Mill in [13], we define the cardinal invariant $wt(X)$, the weak tightness of a topological space $X$, and show that $|X|\leq 2^{L(X)wt(X)\psi(X)}$ for any Hausdorff space $X$ (Theorem 2.8). As…

For a Hausdorff topologized semilattice $X$ its $Lawson\;\; number$ $\bar\Lambda(X)$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for any distinct points $x,y\in X$ there exists a family $\mathcal U$ of closed neighborhoods of $x$ in $X$…

Using weaker versions of the cardinal function $\psi_c(X)$, we derive a series of new bounds for the cardinality of Hausdorff spaces and regular spaces that do not involve $\psi_c(X)$ nor its variants at all. For example, we show if $X$ is…

The pinning down number $ {pd}(X)$ of a topological space $X$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for any neighborhood assignment $U:X\to \tau_X$ there is a set $A\in [X]^\kappa$ with $A\cap U(x)\ne\emptyset$ for all $x\in X$.…

A space $X$ is said to be "cellular-Lindel\"of" if for every cellular family $\mathcal{U}$ there is a Lindel\"of subspace $L$ of $X$ which meets every element of $\mathcal{U}$. Cellular-Lindel\"of spaces generalize both Lindel\"of spaces…

Arhangel'skii proved that if a first countable Hausdorff space is Lindel\"of, then its cardinality is at most $2^{\aleph_0}$. Such a clean upper bound for Lindel\"of spaces in the larger class of spaces whose points are ${\sf G}_{\delta}$…

The main result of this note is the following theorem. "If $X$ is any Hausdorff space with $\kappa = \widehat{F}(X) \cdot \widehat{\mu}(X)$ then $L(X_{< \kappa}) \le \varrho(\kappa)$". Here $\widehat{F}(X)$ is the smallest cardinal…

We prove upper bounds for the spread, the Lindel\"of number and the weak Lindel\"of number of the $G_\delta$-topology on a topological space and apply a few of our bounds to give a short proof to a recent result of Juh\'asz and van Mill…

We show, in a certain specific sense, that both the density and the cardinality of a Hausdorff space are related to the "degree" to which the space is nonregular. It was shown by Sapirovskii that $d(X)\leq\pi\chi(X)^{c(X)}$ for a regular…

Let $\mathcal M_X$ denote the ideal of meager subsets of a topological space $X$. We prove that if $X$ is a completely metrizable space without isolated points, then the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of $X$, denoted…

By the {\em Suslinian number} $\Sln(X)$ of a continuum $X$ we understand the smallest cardinal number $\kappa$ such that $X$ contains no disjoint family $\C$ of non-degenerate subcontinua of size $|\C|\ge\kappa$. For a compact space $X$,…
