Abstract

A regular topological space XX is defined to be a P0\mathfrak P_0-space if it has countable Pytkeev network. A network N\mathcal N for XX is called a Pytkeev network if for any point xXx\in X, neighborhood OxXO_x\subset X of xx and subset AXA\subset X accumulating at a xx there is a set NNN\in\mathcal N such that NOxN\subset O_x and NAN\cap A is infinite. The class of P0\mathfrak P_0-spaces contains all metrizable separable spaces and is (properly) contained in the Michael's class of 0\aleph_0-spaces. It is closed under many topological operations: taking subspaces, countable Tychonoff products, small countable box-products, countable direct limits, hyperspaces of compact subsets. For an 0\aleph_0-space XX and a P0\mathfrak P_0-space YY the function space Ck(X,Y)C_k(X,Y) endowed with the compact-open topology is a P0\mathfrak P_0-space. For any sequential 0\aleph_0-space XX the free abelian topological group A(X)A(X) and the free locally convex linear topological space L(X)L(X) both are P0\mathfrak P_0-spaces. A sequential space is a P0\mathfrak P_0-space if and only if it is an 0\aleph_0-space. A topological space is metrizable and separable if and only if it is a P0\mathfrak P_0-space with countable fan tightness.
