The main results of this note are: It is consistent that every subparacompact space $X$ of size $\omega_1$ is a $D$-space; If there exists a Michael space, then all productively Lindel\"of spaces have the Menger property, and, therefore,…
A space $X$ is od-Menger if it satisfies $\mathsf{U_{fin}}(\Delta_X, \mathcal{O}_X)$, where $\mathcal{O}_X,\Delta_X$ are the collection of covers of $X$ by respectively open subsets and open dense subsets. We show that under CH, there is a…
Menger's conjecture that Menger spaces are /sigma-compact is false; it is true for analytic subspaces of Polish spaces and undecidable for more complex definable subspaces of Polish spaces. For non-metrizable spaces, analytic Menger spaces…
A space is od-compact (resp. od-Lindel\"of) provided any cover by open dense sets has a finite (resp. countable) subcover. We first show with simple examples that these properties behave quite poorly under finite or countable unions. We…
We apply the theory of infinite two-person games to two well-known problems in topology: Suslin's Problem and Arhangel'skii's problem on $G_\delta$ covers of compact spaces. More specifically, we prove results of which the following two are…
A topological space $G$ is said to be a {\it rectifiable space} provided that there are a surjective homeomorphism $\varphi :G\times G\rightarrow G\times G$ and an element $e\in G$ such that $\pi_{1}\circ \varphi =\pi_{1}$ and for every…
We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…
Lindel\"of spaces are studied in any basic Topology course. However, there are other interesting covering properties with similar behaviour, such as almost Lindel\"of, weakly Lindel\"of, and quasi-Lindel\"of, that have been considered in…
We show that any metacompact Moore space is monotonically metacompact and use that result to characterize monotone metacompactness in certain generalized ordered (GO)spaces. We show, for example, that a generalized ordered space with a…
Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…
We study products of general topological spaces with Menger's covering property, and its refinements based on filters and semifilters. To this end, we extend the projection method from the classic real line topology to the Michael topology.…
We provide new results on combinatorial characterizations of covering properties in end spaces and ray spaces. In particular, we characterize the Lindel\"of degree, the extent, the Rothberger property, $\sigma$-compactness and the Menger…
The famous Michael selection theorem deals with the characterisation of paracompact spaces by continuous selections of lower semi-continuous mappings in Banach spaces. In this paper, we will discuss several equivalent forms of this theorem,…
In this paper, we prove the following Theorems 1. An extremally disconnected space $X$ has the semi-Menger property if and only if One does not have a winning strategy in the game $G_{fin}(sO,sO)$. 2. An extremally disconnected space $X$…
We prove that the countable product of supercomplete spaces having a countable closed cover consisting of partition-complete subspaces is supercomplete with respect to its metric-fine coreflection. Thus, countable products of…
For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a family $\lambda$ of subsets of $X$, we denote by $C_{\lambda}(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the set-open topology. In this paper, we study the Menger and projective Menger…
According to a folklore characterization of supercompact spaces, a compact Hausdorff space is supercompact if and only if it has a binary closed $k$-network. This characterization suggests to call a topological space $super$ if it has a…
In the present paper, the Lindelof number and the degree of compactness of spaces and of the cozero-dimensional kernel of paracompact spaces are characterized in terms of selections of lower semi-continuous closed-valued mappings into…
In this thesis, we introduce the subject of D-spaces and some of its most important open problems which are related to well known covering properties. We then introduce a new approach for studying D-spaces and covering properties in…
Generalizations of the theorems of Eberlein and Grothendieck on the precompactness of subsets of function spaces are considered: if $X$ is a countably compact space and $C_p(X)$ is a space of continuous functions in the pointwise topology…
