ON LOCAL WEAK τ-DENSITY OF TOPOLOGICAL SPACES

A topological space X is locally weakly separable [3] at a point x∈X if x has a weakly separable neighbourhood. A topological space X is locally weakly separable if X is locally weakly separable at every point x∈X. The notion of local weak separability can be generalized for any cardinal τ ≥ℵ0 . A topological space X is locally weakly τ-dense at a point x∈X if τ is the smallest cardinal number such that x has a weak τ-dense neighborhood in X [4]. The local weak density at a point x is denoted as lwd(x). The local weak density of a topological space X is defined in following way: lwd ( X ) = sup{ lwd ( x) : x∈ X } . A topological space X is locally τ-dense at a point x∈X if τ is the smallest cardinal number such that x has a τ-dense neighborhood in X [4]. The local density at a point x is denoted as ld(x). The local density of a topological space X is defined in following way: ld ( X ) = sup{ ld ( x) : x∈ X } . It is known that for any topological space we have ld(X ) ≤ d(X ) . In this paper, we study questions of the local weak τ-density of topological spaces and establish sufficient conditions for the preservation of the property of a local weak τ-density of subsets of topological spaces. It is proved that a subset of a locally τ-dense space is also locally weakly τ-dense if it satisfies at least one of the following conditions: (a) the subset is open in the space; (b) the subset is everywhere dense in space; (c) the subset is canonically closed in space. A proof is given that the sum, intersection, and product of locally weakly τ-dense spaces are also locally weakly τ-dense spaces. And also questions of local τ-density and local weak τ-density are considered in locally compact spaces. It is proved that these two concepts coincide in locally compact spaces.
