Spaces with open countable tightness
摘要
We study topological spaces with open countable tightness introduced by Arhangel’skii. Two characterizations of such spaces are given. Using these characterizations we show that if a topological group G has open countable tightness, then so has its completion and any quotient. The direct locally convex sum of an uncountable family of locally convex spaces does not have open countable tightness. Let Y be a non-trivial metrizable abelian group. It is proved that for every Y-Tychonoff space X, the space
