Tychonoff Expansions with Prescribed Resolvability Properties
The recent literature offers examples, specific and hand-crafted, of
Tychonoff spaces (in ZFC) which respond negatively to these questions, due
respectively to Ceder and Pearson (1967) and to Comfort and Garc\'ia-Ferreira
(2001): (1) Is every -resolvable space maximally resolvable? (2) Is
every maximally resolvable space extraresolvable? Now using the method of
expansion, the authors show that {\it every} suitably
restricted Tychonoff topological space (X,\sT) admits a larger Tychonoff
topology (that is, an "expansion") witnessing such failure. Specifically the
authors show in ZFC that if (X,\sT) is a maximally resolvable Tychonoff space
with S(X,\sT)\leq\Delta(X,\sT)=\kappa, then (X,\sT) has Tychonoff
expansions \sU=\sU_i (), with \Delta(X,\sU_i)=\Delta(X,\sT)
and S(X,\sU_i)\leq\Delta(X,\sU_i), such that (X,\sU_i) is: ()
-resolvable but not maximally resolvable; () [if is
regular, with S(X,\sT)\leq\kappa'\leq\kappa] -resolvable for all
, but not -resolvable; () maximally resolvable, but
not extraresolvable; () extraresolvable, but not maximally resolvable;
() maximally resolvable and extraresolvable, but not strongly
extraresolvable.Comment: 25 pages, 0 figure
