Abstract

Suppose XX and YY are topological spaces, X=Δ(X)|X| = \Delta(X) and Y=Δ(Y)|Y| = \Delta(Y). We investigate resolvability of the product X×YX \times Y. We prove that: I. If X=Y=ω|X| = |Y| = \omega and X,YX,Y are Hausdorff, then X×YX \times Y is maximally resolvable; II. If 2κ=κ+2^\kappa = \kappa^+, {X,cfX}{κ,κ+}\{|X|, \mathrm{cf}|X|\} \cap \{\kappa, \kappa^+\} \ne \emptyset and cfY=κ+\mathrm{cf}|Y| = \kappa^+, then the space X×YX \times Y is κ+\kappa^+-resolvable. In particular, under GCH the space X2X^2 is cfX\mathrm{cf}|X|-resolvable whenever cfX\mathrm{cf}|X| is an isolated cardinal; III. (r=c\frak{r} = \frak{c}) If cfX=ω\mathrm{cf}|X| = \omega and cfY=cf(c)\mathrm{cf}|Y| = \mathrm{cf}(\frak{c}), then the space X×YX \times Y is ω\omega-resolvable. If, moreover, cf(c)=ω1\mathrm{cf}(\frak{c}) = \omega_1, then the space X×YX \times Y is ω1\omega_1-resolvable.
