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…

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…

The weak tightness $wt(X)$, introduced in [6], has the property $wt(X)\leq t(X)$. It was shown in [4] that if $X$ is a homogeneous compactum then $|X|\leq 2^{wt(X)\pi\chi(X)}$. We introduce the almost tightness $at(X)$ with the property…

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 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…

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…

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…

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…

We introduce a modified closing-off argument that results in several improved bounds for the cardinalities of Hausdorff and Urysohn spaces. These bounds involve the cardinal invariant $skL(X,\lambda)$, the skew-$\lambda$ Lindel\"of degree…

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…

The weak tightness $wt(X)$ of a space $X$ was introduced in [11] with the property $wt(X)\leq t(X)$. We investigate several well-known results concerning $t(X)$ and consider whether they extend to the weak tightness setting. First we give…

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…

Hajnal and Juh\'asz proved that if $X$ is a $T_1$-space, then $|X|\le 2^{s(X)\psi(X)}$, and if $X$ is a Hausdorff space, then $|X|\le 2^{c(X)\chi(X)}$ and $|X|\le 2^{2^{s(X)}}$. Schr\"oder sharpened the first two estimations by showing that…

A topological space is said to be cardinality homogeneous if every nonempty open subset has the same cardinality as the space itself. Let $X$ and $Y$ be cardinality homogeneous metric spaces of the same cardinality. If there exists a…

If $X$ is a topological space and $\kappa$ is a cardinal then $\mathsf{BA}_\kappa (X)$ is the statement that for each pair $A, B \subseteq X$ of $\kappa$-dense subsets there is an autohomeomorphism $h:X \to X$ mapping $A$ to $B$. In…

We say that a topological space $X$ is selectively highly divergent (SHD) if for every sequence of non-empty open sets $\{U_n\mid n\in\omega \}$ of $X$, we can find $x_n\in U_n$ such that the sequence $(x_n)$ has no convergent subsequences.…

For every metric space $X$ we introduce two cardinal characteristics $\mathrm{cov}^\flat(X)$ and $\mathrm{cov}^\sharp(X)$ describing the capacity of balls in $X$. We prove that these cardinal characteristics are invariant under coarse…
