Digging into the classes of κ-Corson compact spaces
摘要
For any cardinal number κ and an index set Γ, the Σκ-product of real lines Σκ(ℝΓ) consists of all elements of ℝΓ having < κ many nonzero coordinates. A compact space K is κ-Corson compact if it can be embedded into Σκ(ℝΓ) for some Γ.
The class of (ω1)-Corson compact spaces has been intensively studied over the last decades. We discuss properties of κ-Corson compacta for various cardinal numbers κ as well as properties of related Boolean algebras and spaces of continuous functions.
We present here a detailed discussion of the class of ω-Corson compacta extending the results of Nakhmanson and Yakovlev [NY]. For κ > ω, our results on κ-Corson compact spaces are related to the line of research originated by Kalenda [Ka2] and Bell and Marciszewski [BM], and continued by Bonnet, Kubiś and Todorčević in their recent paper [BKT].
