First countability, $\omega$-well-filtered spaces and reflections
Abstract
We first introduce and study two new classes of subsets in spaces - -Rudin sets and -well-filtered determined sets lying between the class of all closures of countable directed subsets and that of irreducible closed subsets, and two new types of spaces - - spaces and -well-filtered spaces. We prove that an -well-filtered space is locally compact iff it is core compact. One immediate corollary is that every core compact well-filtered space is sober, answering Jia-Jung problem with a new method. We also prove that all irreducible closed subsets in a first countable -well-filtered space are directed. Therefore, a first countable space is sober iff is well-filtered iff is an -well-filtered -space. Using -well-filtered determined sets, we present a direct construction of the -well-filtered reflections of spaces, and show that products of -well-filtered spaces are -well-filtered.
