Session 36. Topology in Functional Analysis

Productively Lindelöf Spaces

Lyubomyr Zdomskyy, University of Vienna, Austria
The talk is based on the joint work with Andrea Medini
E. Michael asked whether every productively Lindelöf space is powerfully Lindelöf. We show that, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, every productively Lindelöf space of countable tightness is powerfully Lindelöf. This strengthens a result of Tall and Tsaban. We also show that separation axioms are not relevant to Michael's question: if there exists any counterexample (possibly not even \(T_0\)), then there exists a regular (actually, zero-dimensional) counterexample. Also, we will present a forcing construction of productively Lindelöf spaces which might lead to a partial negative solution of this question.
