Characterizations of generalized paracompact spaces

Strongly base-paracompact spaces

A space X is said to be strongly base-paracompact if there is a basis B for X with |B| = w(X) such that every open cover of X has a star-finite open refinement by members of B. Strongly paracompact spaces which are strongly base-paracompact are studied. Strongly base-paracompact spaces are shown have a family of functions F with cardinality equal to the weight such that every open cover has a l...

Separation in Countably Paracompact Spaces

We study the question "Are discrete families of points separated in countably paracompact spaces?" in the class of first countable spaces and the class of separable spaces. Two of the main directions of research in general topology in the last thirty years have been the work of Jones, Bing, Tall, Fleissner, Nyikos and others motivated by the normal Moore space problem (when are discrete familie...

A Note on Paracompact Spaces

Let us quickly recall the definitions of the terms which are used in the statement of Theorem 1, and which will be used throughout this paper. Let X be a topological space. A collection <R of subsets of X is called open (resp. closed) if every element of "R. is open (resp. closed) in X. A covering of X is a collection of subsets of X whose union is X; observe that in this paper a covering need ...

Characterizations of $L$-convex spaces

In this paper, the concepts of $L$-concave structures, concave $L$-interior operators and concave $L$-neighborhood systems are introduced. It is shown that the category of $L$-concave spaces and the category of concave $L$-interior spaces are isomorphic, and they are both isomorphic to the category of concave $L$-neighborhood systems whenever $L$ is a completely distributive lattice. Also, it i...
