We define a new topological cardinal invariant function, the $\\theta-bitighness small number$ of a space X, bts_theta(X), and prove that in every topological space X, the cardinality of the theta-closed hull of each set A is at most |A|^{bts_theta(X)}. Using this result, we synthesize all earlier results on bounds on the cardinality of theta-closed hulls. We provide applications to P-spaces and to the almost-Lindelof number.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-26T21:38:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cardinality", "topological cardinal invariant function", "theta-closed hull", "topological space", "smallest set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.5824C" } } }
