Extract

In [1, p. 51] A. V. Arhangel'skiĭ, in connection with the problems of L-spaces and S-spaces, examined further the notions of hereditary separability and hereditary Lindelöfness. In particular he considered the following property P: “Every regular topological space has a countable net weight provided its countable product is hereditarily Lindelöf and hereditarily separable.” He noticed that the continuum hypothesis implies negation of the property P and posed a question: “Do Martin's Axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis imply P?” The purpose of this paper is to give a negative answer to this question.

The set-theoretical and topological notation that we use is standard and can be found in [6] and [5] respectively.

Throughout the paper we will use the notation H(X, Y) to denote the set of all finite functions from a set X to Y.

Theorem. Con(ZFC) → Con(ZFC + MA + ¬CH + there exists a 0-dimensional Hausdorff space X such that nw(X) = с and nw(Y) = ω for any Y ϵ [X]).

Proof. Let M be a model of ZFC satisfying CH and let F be an M-generic filter over the Cohen forcing {H(ω2 × ω2, 2), ⊃). Then f = ⋃F is a function and f: ω2 × ω2 → 2.
