On irreducible spaces. II

James Robert Boone

Vol. 62 (1976), No. 2, 351–357
Abstract

A topological space is said to be irreducible if every open covering has an open refinement that covers the space minimally. Irreducibility is a fundamental property related to cardinality conditions for open coverings. In this paper, a constructive proof is presented to establish that the weak 𝜃-refinable spaces of Smith are irreducible. Various results concerning cardinality conditions for open coverings follow as corollaries. Some examples are included.
