Answering a question raised by Z. Szentmiklossy and the first author, we show that this statement fails for countably compact regular spaces, and even for omega-bounded regular spaces. In fact, there are kappa-bounded counterexamples for every infinite cardinal kappa. The proof makes essential use of the so-called 'strong colorings' that were invented by the second author.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-08T09:10:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54A35", "03E35", "54A25" ], "keywords": [ "strong colorings yield kappa-bounded spaces", "discretely untouchable points", "infinite cardinal kappa", "compact hausdorff space", "countably compact regular spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.1989J" } } }
