Collections of covers of metric spaces

Ted R. Pettis

Vol. 100 (1982), No. 2, 425–435
Abstract

In this paper cardinality κ collections of open covers of a topological space satisfying various conditions are studied. When κ = ω some of the conditions are equivalent to the space being metrizable and the union of a compact set and a discrete set. For a metrizable space some of the conditions are equivalent to complete metrizability. If κω then the relationship between some of the conditions and the existence of scales is examined.
