We show, by assuming the existence of $\\mathfrak c$-many selective ultrafilters, that there exists a subspace of $\\beta \\omega$ that is $(\\kappa, \\omega^*)$-pseudocompact for all $\\kappa<\\mathfrak c$, but $\\text{CL}(X)$ isn't pseudocompact. We prove in ZFC that if $\\omega\\subseteq X\\subseteq \\beta\\omega$ is such that $X$ is $(\\mathfrak c, \\omega^*)$-pseudocompact, then $\\text{CL}(X)$ is pseudocompact, and we further explore this relation by replacing $\\mathfrak c$ for some small cardinals. We provide an example of a subspace of $\\beta \\omega$ for which all powers below $\\mathfrak h$ are countably compact whose hyperspace is not pseudocompact, we show that if $\\omega \\subseteq X$, the pseudocompactness of $\\text{CL}(X)$ implies that $X$ is $(\\kappa, \\omega^*)$-pseudocompact for all $\\kappa<\\mathfrak h$, and provide an example of such an $X$ that is not $(\\mathfrak b, \\omega^*)$-pseudocompact.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-17T04:28:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54B20", "03E17", "54D20" ], "keywords": [ "small cardinals", "pseudocompactness", "hyperspace", "isnt pseudocompact", "countably compactness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
